Two more goes with Flock and Twitter this morning. Two lectures to computing final year students of about 60 in each group.

Quick straw poll before they'd all arrived suggested *at least* half a dozen had the technology and Twitter logins to participate.

But for whatever reason, and despite my encouragement, none of them chose to do so. Not even in the second session when they should have been more awake. Not quite sure what that's about. They participated verbally. So were they just unsure of me or what I'd do? Not keen on using the technology that way? Shy?

At least one of them was gracious enough to pose for a photo. (From over his shoulder as I took a picture of him with his his cellphone on Twitter and the main screen 'behind' (actually in front of him) showing the Library homepage and the twitter sidebar). I needed a picture of 'active learning' for a workshop I'm attending next week and thought that was about the only opportunity I had to contribute something.
