… well, actually a bit more than that. Today I brought my new toy into work, and just had to show it off to the media specialist. She liked what she saw, and liked the price tag (only $220!) even more. Just then, our Principal walked in with a smile on her face. She was …

Academic Aesthetic Netcast 123
This time around I play with a new toy (a digital video camera), lament (sort of) on spending so much on tech, and talk about redefining education. Don’t like the video? I have an audio only version if you prefer.
Academic Aesthetic Netcast 122
Today’s ‘cast is all about groups and a legitimate concern or two voiced by Bud the Teacher. (I’m cross-posting it on the Next Gen Teachers group partially to check out how well it handles podcasts.) (UPDATE: Looks like it works just fine.) Shownote links: Bud’s post on groups DEN Seedlings Next Gen Teachers Teachers 2.0

Chris Craft (a man who is quickly becoming one of my favorite bloggers) wrote a post yesterday that I find difficult to sum up in an introduction. He had a few insights that spoke to me, partially because art and foreign language are both lumped outside that tightly knit group of “core” subjects. (I continue …

I’m giving up. That’s right, I’m giving up on Audacity. It’s a solid program with some nice features, but it just can’t top my copy of GarageBand. Purple tracks extending across the screen, how I missed you! In any case, I recently received an email from Lance Rougeux of the Discovery Educator Network. He was …

DEN takes a huge step backward

I tried joining in the forum discussion for this very topic, but for some reason (perhaps their server is overworked at the moment?) I could not. So instead, I’m posting it here. …

I was on the radio today. Leo Laporte does, among other things, a weekend radio show about technology. I had a question, so I called in with Skype and asked away. I’m thrilled that I got to talk to the Tech Guy himself. Steve Dembo may have inspired me to start podcasting, but I wouldn’t …

You’ll notice that this edition of the Academic Aesthetic is not part two of the workshop I recorded a couple of weeks ago. The truth is that I have a few topics I would like to discuss, so I’m postponing the rest of the 3 hour workshop until whenever, or until people start asking for …
