BBC's Click on Line -- the CEbit trade show

this is subtitled and is part of the Beeb's effort to make interesting professional value-added, cutting edge, low-risk high-yield intellectual capital synergistically and seamlessly available for james' students....

check this link for all the archive of BBC Click programs that are subtitled


we missed several students today... please go on the writeboard and add your date and subject for your case-study report.

also I asked for a two or three paragraph comment on a BBC click show that you can blog to the group as a writing exercise...

you might prefer to choose something from the demo.com site's video archives or from the Stanford Technology Ventures Program on entrepreneurship

(we'll look at Guy Kawasaki's comments on mission statements next class)

have a good vacation... I'm waiting to hear if Vicky is coming on the 5th or on the 19th of May.

"PowerPoint: sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying

Here you have a link to the comedy sketch that we watched.... what other pointers would you give????
