Three impressions of Seoul with three different tools: technology as co-creator
I was putting some materials together for a workshop I am doing next week in Helsinki on mobile learning and open space (my normal playlist) and I came across different applications I had used in the past to create compositions on Seoul.

I recently recorded two presentations on mobile and open learning and I wanted to post these both together in one post as I think they are related.
