Organic Learning

I’ve been busy lately. I fully intended to blog about CUE, and maybe I still will. I took notes since there was no wireless.

However, I have published a few podcasts. I’m working on two podcasts right now.

One is the District 6 Podcast, which is a podcast I have started in my local district office, so the Instructional and other support staff can use that as a means of communication. There are two podcasts published so far. One from our superentindent, and one from an elementary director. I intend to record our talks about the Results Now book soon. This podcast can be found at: http://district6.edublogs.org/

The other podcast I am doing is one from my own passion, called the District 6 EdTech Podcast. I will be interviewing teachers about best practices using technology, interviewing people I respect on their views about Educational Technology, and maybe I’ll do a few screencasts. I have two posted episodes, one an interview with Ms. Beth Billett at Gage Middle School, and one a recorded workshop on Grant Writing with Pat Sanford, of Tech Ed Services. Soon I will be posting an interview I had with Dr. Themy Sparangis, our Chief Director of Educational Technology at LAUSD, and another best practice interview with Mr. Howard Johnston, an amazing literacy coach at one of our local elementary schools.

Subscribe and stay tuned for some great audio. It’s my way of paying back to the community of the edublogoshere, because I’m not very good at getting around to writing about all the amazing things I am learning from all the wonderful people out there that are in my personal learning network. Thanks to all of you for making my life so exciting and full of wonder.

Jennifer Wagner claimed yesterday to be CyberCompliment Day . I’d like to thank about 50 people, including Jen, who make it exciting times to be involved in educational technology. I read them everyday, listen to their podcasts, and think and reflect on the learning I am doing. I don’t ever find time hardly to write about it, but someday, I hope to begin giving back by blogging more. I do comment from time to time. In the meantime, the podcasts will be my contribution, along with the classes on Web 2.0 I am writing and teaching for LAUSD.
