Here are the captured whiteboard brainstorms, audio (first hour only due to technical glitches) and my slides for the week 1 class of ITP2800. All of this content is hosted and available on http://drop.io/itp2800, with class bookmarks and homework reading assignments posted at http://delicious.com/nathanialfreitas/itp2800+week1. Week 1 homework assignments are listed at the end of this post.
These images were created using the smart digital whiteboard in the classroom, which allows me to project powerpoint slides and then mark up on top of them. We collectively deconstructed the title of the course “Social Activism using Mobile Technology” with some great results.

Thanks for putting all this up, Nathan.
My Textmarks hashtag is “ITP101”
My Twitter hashtag is “#firstjob”
I can see there's a lot we can do with Textmarks. Would be cool to go over some of the ways we can scrape data from webpages and stuff in class if there's time.
We'll definitely explore the power of Textmarks more in class… it is a great service to prototype on.
