  • Carpool discussions with Kevin Honeycutt

    The ever creative Kevin Honeycutt interviewed me today for a video podcast he split into two parts: In the first section I discussed the background of how I started blogging and what is unique about blog conversations.

  • Live webcasting via Ustream

    My work with educational technologies the past few years has convinced me we have entered the “publish at will” era of information sharing. This means (to me) that anyone with a computer and Internet connection can publish their thoughts via different modalities (text, audio, and video) for a global audience– without incurring additional expenses. This…

  • Two great podcast presentations from TCEA 2007

    I was delighted to learn this evening that both the presentation of Lynn Burmark (of The Thornburg Center) titled “They laughed when I told them how I beat stress!” and Jamey Osborne’s presentation “Creative Commons: Escape the Hassles of Copyright Infringement” from TCEA 2007 are available online via the Apple Learning Interchange.

  • Where are our 6th grade students going online for fun?

    I spent most of the day both Monday and Tuesday this week teaching and learning from about 150 5th and 6th grade students at Winding Creek Elementary School in Moore, Oklahoma, which is just south of Oklahoma City. Our topic was Internet safety and guidelines for being safe online. I shared a couple videos with…

  • Education needs to be read/write

    Last week’s article “School Bus Becomes Mobile Classroom Thanks To iPods” in Arkansas may sound like a dream come true for technology-craving students, but I wonder if the underlying pedagogy of content transmission will ultimately permit the realization of the project’s idealistic goals? According to the article and accompanying video, the Sheridan school district in…

  • Reflecting on helping kids develop their own ethical filters

    I’ve posted a new podcast for “Digital Dialog” that I created this past week with my wife, Shelly. Our conversation focuses on chapter 1 of the 2007 book “Children’s Ministry in the 21st Century” by Craig Jutila, Jim Wideman, and Pat Verbal. Link to our “Digital Dialog” Ning social network on digitaldialog.ning.com. I had previously…

  • Great sound resources for podcasts

They share a new 8 pack…
