I made it. It was difficult. I had to come at the place from three directions before I finally found the sign to the Sturbridge Host Hotel. Finally finding registration, I met the conference chair person, and got directed to Will Richardson’s last session. I don’t know what the session is called, but he’s talking about video production, blogging, podcasting, et al.
Will did make a passionate point about how we need to be talking about sharing our students’ work with real audiences. It’s engaging them in real conversations with the world they’re learning about.
I’m looking around at all of the laptops open and sipping from the free WiFi in the air. I see Blogger, iWeb, and somebody’s looking at the Audacity web site, since that’s what Will is talking about.
OK, I had to check on some e-mail, but I’m back up now, and he’s showing JumpCut, just purchased by Yahoo. Now this is pretty cool. He says, “you don’t really need iMovie or MovieMaker any more.” Well, if we’re talking about giving the power of information artisanship to all (most), then he’s right. I need to look at this.
Internet is obviously slow. I guess I’ll need to harvest some web sites for tomorrow’s sessions.
Several people have asked him, how do you do this with this web tool, or can you do that? And Will, like myself, is saying much of the time, “I suspect that there is a way, but I’m not sure how.” I think that this is a good answer for two reasons. First, it’s important to know all of the features of a web app that is in perpetual beta. Also, it’s important for teachers to see an incredibly accomplished educator, fearlessly, demonstrate and make effective use of technologies, without having memorized every button and nob. Much of the time, you just have to go in a feel it.
Much more later from MASS CUE.

I get to hear Will tomorrow and I’m so sad that they were able to snag you up there and we didn’t get you down her in GAETC. I guess I’ll have to wait for inspiration at NECC!
I was at Will’s presentations today. Its amazing how much of what we used to do on our local computers can now be done online (Jumpcut looks slick). It’s even more apparent when you can’t get online and feel shut out. I was impressed with Will’s bravery in trying to do it live. I look forward to your keynote and presentations. I might recommend asking for a second wireless access point if you have the crowd surfing along with you.
I found the following statement intriguing! “Will did make a passionate point about how we need to be talking about sharing our students’ work with real audiences. It’s engaging them in real conversations with the world they’re learning about.”
I’ve encountered many library folks in Illinois who want to use blogs, wikis and other participatory types of technology, but are confronted with those sites being blocked from access to students and faculty. Sometimes educators are their own worst enemy as they attempt to “protect” their students from any harmful confrontations. What do those students do when they must live on their own in the “real” world??
Kay,
I agree. David Jakes at TechForum Austin made the analogy of –Do we teach them to cross the street on a fake street? And yet they can get killed crossing the street. We have to teach them to be safe in their “real” environment online as much as possible.
Thanks, David, for sharing the webtool that Will Richardson mentioned! That looks really helpful and easy.
