After writing up my summary of the PETE&C DEN event I noticed that it can easily be divided into 7 sections. So, rather than bombard you with a large report I’ll post one section a day this week. Short, sweet, bite-size chunks of information work much better for me, and hopefully for you as well.

Again, this is also a podcast.

During the keynote I had the pleasure of sitting next to Cristina Runkles, whose third grade class has just started podcasting. We exchanged web addresses since we were both into blogging and podcasting.

I’ve already listened to her students’ work, and it’s good stuff! Just imagine what these third graders will be capable of when they graduate, having experienced cutting edge technology at such an early level.

I was checking the long list of blogs I read regularly and was pleased to see that Steve Dembo responded to my “open interview.” (As if I didn’t have enough reasons to inflate my own ego…) You should go check it out, and since I’m sure some of you just listen to my podcasts rather than read what I write here’s a direct link to Steve’s podcast. His answers are at the end, so just sit back and enjoy.

It’s not too late to respond to my open interview, why don’t you give it a shot?

In my 43rd podcast I answer questions 3 and 4 from episode 41’s “Open Interview.”

Show Notes:

I’m now a proud member of the Discovery Educator Network, also known as DEN. More information will follow in future installments.

I’m going to be running a blogging inservice in early January, and rather than give out handouts I’ve created a wiki. I’m looking for a few good editors, so if you’re up to the challenge then please take a look at what’s there already and add some of your own content. (Yes, I mentioned this before in my blog, but not everyone who listens to my podcast reads the blog so I tought it deserved a rehashing.)

I spend the rest of this podcast answering questions 3 and 4 from my “Open Interview.” I’m looking for more people to answer these questions (hint, hint…) so if you’ve got a computer and a microphone I wouldn’t mind having am audio file (or a link to your own podcast) show up in my inbox.

Oh, and don’t forget to put a pin in my Frappr Map!

In my 42nd podcast I answer questions 1 and 2 from episode 41’s “Open Interview.” When I look back on the resourses I had compared to what our kids have now, it’s no wonder that so many people in my parents’ generation aren’t computer savvy.

… in retrospect I should have done something truly geeky for my 42nd podcast. (Don’t understand what I’m talking about? Google’s there for a reason!) Alas, I couldn’t think of anything truly special to do. Oh well…
