Teaching with Twitter

http://steve-wheeler.blogspot.com/2009/01/teaching-with-twitter.html David White is Honourary Director General at the European Commission, and is a passionate believer in lifelong learning. Ahead of his keynote speech at this year’s EDEN conference, to be held in Porto, I asked him some questions about his life, his passions and what he believes about technology supported education.

SW: Please can you tell readers and EDEN delegates a little about yourself, your passions, your interests and perhaps one or two things you are not so keen on? DW: I am a husband, a father and a grandfather who grew up very happily in a relatively minor province on the outer margins of Europe and who has loved living and working in the multi-cultural environment at the heart of the EU.
