So I get an email out of the blue from the Christian Long from DesignShare inviting me to join him and DK from MediaSnackers for a bit of quick banter. (Check out DKs podcast series – some seriously heavy hitters on that list. So what am I doing on there?)
Link to podcast: mediasnackers.com/report/2007/April/25/340/
By the way, the interview takes place at 10 AM Sunday morning and I’m zooming off of two delicious bowlfuls of coffee. Christian and DK are gracious hosts. We chat for a few moments then jump right into questions.
Spoiler: If you make it for more than 10 minutes, you deserve a medal. Christian and DK ask brilliant questions. In fact, they are much more worth meditating on than any of my answers.
0.00—0.27 intros
0.28—1.43 exploring the essence of Christopher's blog
1.44—4.34 who/what is on Christopher radar
4.35—8.25 early adopters and learning outside of school
8.26—10.54 who is doing it right
10.55—15.28 hi-touch and are young teachers doing something different
15.29—16.41 one piece of advice
16.42—17.03 outro
If you like it, hate it, or are somewhere in between, let me know. It’s definitely not my best. Before you reconsider hiring me for a keynote address, know that I work much better from a script!
Serious apologies go to “Super” Anne Fox for being unable to remember the name of her site Absolutely Intercultural.
Anne, thank you for all that you do. I want to make sure that when we meet up one day, you will not beat me mercilessly around the head and neck region!
Finally, I’d like to hear from you: Who’s on your radar? Who or what are you reading? Share some new finds.
I am a huge fan of pop culture. So here are some sites on my radar:
Bedazzled -- A Boing Boing source that will keep you occupied for hours. Consider yourself warned.
Large Hearted Boy -- I found this site through another social networking site I belong to [thanks fipi lele!]. It is a music blog featuring daily free and legal music downloads as well as news from the worlds of music, literature, and pop culture.
Warren Ellis -- Take a walk on the wild side with a graphic novelist, author, journalist, screenwriter.
Popurls -- Pure web buzz aggregated by Thomas Marban.
Finally, two other spots worth mentioning:
Using Wikis in Education -- Stuart Mader’s tool in action always inspires me.
Actually, I probably spend more time here than anywhere else!
