Renny Gleeson on antisocial phone tricks | Video on TED.com

Renny Gleeson on antisocial phone tricks | Video on TED.com:

Diane spoke of the Ted conferences in today's class (and she brought delicious brownies and cupcakes!). Unfortunately not everyone was there to enjoy them.

Next class is in two weeks and we'll have a guest, an expert in intercultural workplaces. I'll send Tanneguy our guest's biodata so you can introduce him.

Today we worked on an article from Fortune magazine... about linkedin! I'll send you the pdf of the extended article. Hope you'll read all of it!

As promised, here is a short Ted talk (4 minutes) for those of you that enjoy sending texto's and tweets even in social situations!

have a great elevator weekend

"In this funny (and actually poignant) 3-minute talk, social strategist Renny Gleeson breaks down our always-on social world -- where the experience we're having right now is less interesting than what we'll tweet about it later."

American Experience | Summer of Love | PBS

We didn't continue this yesterday but worked more on Norman Rockwell and his American images... nevertheless you might enjoy watching pieces of this!

This afternoon at 3:15 in F900 do come to hear Jan , Lela, Deborah and me. We're talking about American civilization (in French!) and I'm doing a part on American symbols...
