The videos for these 2 shows are now streaming for a few more days on TVO's website (Look in the column on the left): http://www.tvo.org/cfmx/tvoorg/theagenda/index.cfm?page_id=41 They can also be downloaded from iTunes if one subscribes to the Agenda video podcast. I was one of the guests on the Facebook panel and think it was a good discussion that would be handy in teaching the topic and raising questions for class discussion. Download podcast here (not sure how long it stays there): http://www.tvo.org/podcasts/theagenda/video/TAWSP_Debate_110707.mp4 I have avoided the Andrew Keen one :) Nancy
