"At the start of an event I’m documenting I’ll let people know that I’ll be taking pictures, and that I am happy to take pictures down, no questions asked, on request. I try to take pictures people will like and I delete pictures I doubt people will dislike. My aim is that the subjects of the pictures will either be OK with or happy about the images I publish. I’m stressing this because it seems an important, human point – it falls outside of the risks you’ve mentioned but it’s important to recognise the role of feelings and emotions within the construction of other peoples digital identity. I rarely include the subjects full name in any of the picture data – title, tags or other options, although I’m happy to do so – or remove this data – on request…. I also don’t CC my images of people attending events apart from at the request of the subject. I don’t think it’s respectful to give permissions on third party subjects without their involvement."

"…During the conference, it’s useful to eavesdrop on parallel sessions that I’m missing by watching the twitter stream. And it’s helpful to be able to look at people’s slides right away, and to find related materials that’s mentioned or written during the conference. And it’s nice to see photos of the event afterward, too.
Tagging before, during and after a conference is a key tool for using a big conference as a kind of host system a smaller group that wants to connect. The economics of face-to-face meetings leads to big conferences. The economics of meaning-making require smaller, but not closed, conversations.
Apart from email, forums, teleconferences, mobile phones, and other technologies, tagging is useful for enabling a small group to use a large conference as a platform for its own purposes. It’s an example of a technology that allows the integration across tools by means of a practice and a protocol "

"At the end of the day, it isnt about the technology…. It isnt about the computer replacing the book. It is about a world where students learn with a book in one hand and a mouse in the other, rather than one where they are taught that book culture is so fragile it needs to be protected from the computer.
Jenna McWilliams, until recently, part of our Project NML staff, writes powerfully about reading with a mouse in your hand. She tells us that teachers often encourage students to read with a pencil in their hands — not simply letting the words pass over their eyeballs but critically engaging with them, taking notes, asking questions, critiquing as they go. When students read with a mouse in their hands, they take this one step further: they assume that they must actively respond to whats been put in front of them; they are poised to participate; they take responsibility over the quality of information and correct it publically if it is wrong.

"Young peoples expectations are also high when it comes to selecting their next employer. Not only did 37 percent of respondents say they want to see state-of-the-art technology being used in their prospective workplace; just as recruiters and hiring managers often snoop around search and social sites to investigate a potential hires character, the millenial job-hunter will check up on prospective companies, peers and bosses, as well."
