School 2.0 in SA

As I am busy editing some of my learning objects, I will dump some of them here to organise later. The object of this learning object (!!) is to give a quick overview of the new features of Outlook 2007.

Using this ‘Twitter for Gmail’ gadget, you can easily tweet from your Gmail inbox without having the hassle to log into Twitter each and every time. The best part is that, unlike some other Twitter applications and gadgets, apart from having the ability to send messages (tweets) a user can also view the tweets by his friends and followers from within Gmail inbox itself.
