My 41st podcast is an interview with … YOU! That’s if you want to answer, of course.

Show Notes:

I decided to do something that I’d like to call an “Open Interview,” so called because I’m encouraging anyone and everyone to respond, preferably in audio format. You can email your responses to TheArtGuy@gmail.com or, if you decide to podcast your response yourself, just send me a link to your podcast.

Thanks, and now on with the questions:

1. What was your favorite subject when you were in elementary, middle, and / or high school, and why?

2. What do you remember about how your teachers used technology in the classroom? (keeping in mind that technology in it’s most basic form is any kind of tool)

3. Assuming you’re a teacher, how has technology made your lesson plans different from the lessons you had when you were the same age as your students?

4. Which do you think is better: A computer in every classroom or a single common computer lab in the school that has enough computers for everyone in a class?

My 39th podcast is an abbreviated overview of the Powering Up conference. I’ll have a few posts that go into more depth in the near future.

1. Powering Up With Technology – A great conference, and not just because I got to present there.
2. Tony Brewer says: “Technology is not a panacea.” … of course he also says “If you steal from me, it’s been stolen twice.” He was personable, funny, and very knowledgeable.
3. Tech4Learning: a business serving schools and educators with some nifty programs and ideas.

I could hardly believe my eyes when I looked at my list of podcasts this morning, but Steve Dembo has started uploading those wonderful mp3 files of his once more.

(And all the Ed-Tech world rejoiced.)

His latest podcast is a bit of a ramble about what’s happened in the past 3 months and the difficulty of getting back into the swing of things, but it’s still all good.

I’ll admit I’m a total Lawrence Lessig fanboy.

I’m also a Leo Laporte fanboy.

So when Lawrence Lessig showed up on this past Sunday’s This Week In Tech I was … very, very happy.

You may want to check that podcast out for yourself. Trust me, it’s some good conversation.

In my 37th podcast I say “podcast” a lot. I can’t help it, it rolls off the tongue.

1. What does my nickname have to do with podvangelism? You may not know as much about podcasting as some people, but if you’re hearing my podcast now you know more than most people.
2. The 5th & 6th grade members of my Art Club are going to be making short movies, and so far things are working out well.
3. I feel inspired to make little movies of lesson ideas/instructions. Look for them soon.
