The Podcast: I’m Writing Right Now

Today is the National Day on Writing, which is the reason for this podcast, recorded as I headed home thinking about the writing I’ve been up to today. I’m so grateful for this time to think about writing and its place in my life. What a wonderful expression of the power of language [...]

The Podcast: EtherPad & Collaborative Writing

In today’s podcast, I talk about a little collaborative writing experiment that I began last week, what I think worked, what perhaps didn’t, and share some of my thinking about why such things might be important.  Certainly a first draft thinking podcast.  Here’s the original EtherPad document, still available for editing and revision, as well [...]

The Podcast: Why Technology

Ben Grey asked me if I’d be willing to respond to his recent post entitled “Why Technology.”  I tried to do so in today’s podcast, although I don’t think I broke any new ground or said anything I haven’t said before. (Such a ringing endorsement, huh?) Direct Link to Audio

The Podcast: Sharing Flipcharts

On this podcast, recorded during yesterday’s commute, I share a little bit about the meeting I was driving home from, a conversation about how best to share resources across districts in the middle of an environment that encourages a different sort of sharing. I then layout my idea for a possible sharing tool.  As always, [...]

The Podcast: Worth Keeping

Today’s podcast is a continuation of some thinking that came out of a roundtable conversation that I had at Learning 2.0: A Colorado Conversation.  Karl reminds me that I’ve been forgetting to share here on the blog lately.  I’ll try to do better. As always, I’m interested in your thoughts. Link to the Audio

The Podcast: Why I’m Not a Fan of Free (At School) (Infrastructure, I Mean)

UPDATE: In the comments below, Mike advocates for free versions of desktop software.  I am completely in favor of those options for students and schools.  I also like free and open source software for digital infrastructure.  (Both the software packages I mention in the podcast are free and open source tools.) The “free” I’m talking [...]

I’m working with some high school students this week on a research assignment for their Wired 9 course, a class on digital literacy and responsibility.  As a part of that work, I’m helping them to generate some good research questions that they can explore and dig in to.  Since I thought the topics might be [...]

The Podcast: Driving from NECC

I always enjoy a good double meaning in a title, so I’m pleased that this podcast, recorded during my drive home from NECC, is called what it is.  I find myself driving at the moment, refreshed and recharged.  That’s what I wanted out of the conference.  I’m pleased it worked that way, and grateful to [...]

In this podcast, recorded Friday, I talk a little bit about NotK12Online, the fine folks who will be helping me to put it together, some of my/our initial ideas, and the juicy paradox of the whole endeavour.  I’ve got a great committee of folks assembled to do the beginning planning - but we’ll need plenty [...]

Lies. Statistics. Whatever.

One hundred percent of my family is technologically literate. No, really.  I’ve got the numbers to back that up. Here’s how I would report that to the Department of Education: Number of members of my family: 4 Number who are technologicaly literate: 4. If you know me or my family at all, I suspect that you would challenge my [...]
