He is great! What a smart and nice guy he is. We are covering his textbook in our technology class. It talks about how the web can be used as a teaching tool in the classroom. Blogs, wikis, podcasts are all good examples of such tools. Anyway, we were introduced to SKYPE today, and our test subject for the tool was Mr. Richardson, himself. He really made me think about how the web isn't just for reaching out or publishing your words. It's what happens after you reach out and after your words are published. It's the connections and the communities that you form and join that makes this such an amazing medium. It totally struck me and make me think about how high and far our words could go.
His blog is here
Hit it. He is amazing.
Our professor says he hangs around the Skywalker Ranch these days. Now I admire AND envy him.
Have a pleasant tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteinspired by your "here" link on this very post, i went back to my own slog and reworked some of the links there. i had seen it done on others' slogs, but didn't care enough until i saw it "here" in all its simplicity.

(first chocolate bar, babe ruth, etc.) well, i was thinking it would be a cool game in a class to create a sort of cyberscavenger hunt. links or addresses that contain the wished for items could be posted to a wiki or even a slog. they could be pictures in a photopeach piece or videos- whatever. it wouldn't have to be within one class period or it could be homework over a weekend or whatever.
in my wildest imaginings, the thing i would most covet, in fact do most covet, is a comment on my very on slog that begins:

for richardson's sake! (or ken robinson's for that matter) have your kid pretend she's you and post a comment!
this technology thing can not die on february 25. creative people need to continue to share ideas about how technology can be used. and, for the moment at least, eperryIII and his clan intimidate me, frighten me even perhaps maybe. wow! what's my problem?
anyway, i hope you'll keep foisting.
this is funny. to me.
