Handheld Learning - learning with mobile and ubiquitous technologies

I'm excited about Twitter for Handheld Learning 2008!  I think we'll have quite a few delegates posting updates from the conference. Of course, those of us that did post from last year's conference had a blast.

I've updated my one-page beginners' guide for HHL 2008 (see attached).

Like Graham said, our Twitter setup is a little different from last year. We're the GroupTweet service to reroute direct messages to hhl into hhl's updates page. That way, you can go to one page (http://twitter.com/hhl) to see the updates. If you see an update from an interesting person on hhl, you can click their hyperlinked username and follow them as well.

Do note that by sending a direct message to Twitter (that means you start your Twitter update with d hhl) it will not appear on your own Twitter page, just hhl's. Also, be aware it takes about 2 minutes for your d hhl message to appear on twitter.com/hhl.

So, getting used to the Twitter way of things can take a little while. That's why I suggest getting started now so you're a pro when October's conference comes around.

Also, here's a great video called Twitter in Plain English that explains Twitter for those of you new to this micro-blogging service.
