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):

I have avoided the Andrew Keen one :)
