Geek!ed! in Pinckney

This is being mobloged from the airport, on my phone — so please forgive spelling and grammar probems…

I enjoyed a double treat yesterday. It is impossible to express how impressed I was with my audience in Pinckney, Michigan. It was the teachers’ first official day back, and their children are reporting today. On top of that, many of them were going to host open house that evening. Yet, this audience graciously gave me their valuable time, and by indication, their honest professional consideration of the issues that I shared.

The second half of the day (..and the second treat) was spent with the technology team of the district. They are also the knowledge, personality, and passion behind Geek!ed! (Google it), a regular podcast of conversations about kids, tech, information, news, and the future.

We recorded an episode right after the keynote, and it’s not every day that I have so much fun. We talked for a half hour (the limit for their shows), switched off the recorder, and kept talking. So I pulled out my iPod, and continued the recording. I’m hoping to have it posted in the next few days.
