Web 2.0 Creator

I picked Wes Fryer -- The Man Who Moves at the Speed of Creativity.

I chose Wes because I think a lot of his ideas are really neat. He is trying to connect the world of education through technology. He uses all sorts of video conferencing techniques to making his own podcast about his views on education and technology. Some of his posts are just recordings of other events, which is using technology in a very type one way. But sometimes he uses his ideas to explain things to interested teachers in a type II way. When he can in his blog posts he uses pictures of himself using the technology. This is find really helpful because not only is he tapping into the linguistic intelligence but he is also tapping into the visual intelligence. I think that is really neat. I would definitely say his specialty is teaching others about using technology in the classroom, especially digital conferencing.
