Article: [senit] Touchscreen & New technologies

David,

just took a look on YouTube, great stuff for setting this channel up.  
I've posted a response to the BBC News video you've got in there.

I'd encourage everyone to take a look, there's so much potential in  
web 2.0 services like this and if we get the special needs community  
involved we have a chance to shape developments to meet the wider  
needs of access and cognition rather than being the afterthought as  
so often.

I've set up a channel myself too, to test the water for hosting  
videos from school. I've called it Videos in Education, and here's  
the link:
http://www.youtube.com/groups_members?name=videoEd

But it will need sorting out as it looks like there's another user  
with pretty much the same group name too. But if anyone wants to take  
a look, add a few videos and see how easily we can post comments, and  
how accessible it is, that would be great.

All the best,

Sean O'Sullivan
