The Savvy Technologist Live!

Posted on by

I had a great time on Thursday afternoon recording an episode of my podcast in front of a live audience.

My first guest was Sonny Portacio, geocacher and Director of Technology for the Escondido Union High School District. Sonny has been doing a ton of work with geocaching lately. He’s created a wiki site for collecting lesson ideas at edcaching.wikispaces.com and a weekly geocaching podcast at podcacher.com. We talked about geocaching and how it can be used in schools.

I also talked to Jeff Utecht of The Thinking Stick blog and Utecht Tips. Jeff has been teaching in Shanghai, China for the last year and we talked about the state of blogging in China and how he’s using blogging with his students there.

All in all I had a great time recording the podcast. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to watch and participate.

Live Savvy Technologist Podcasts

Posted on by

Whew! Wednesday was crazy busy at NECC. I’m exhausted. If anyone reading this will be around the convention center late on Wednesday afternoon, stop by Room 31B from 5:00–6:00 for a live Savvy Technologist Podcast. One of my guests will be Jeff Utecht of The Thinking Stick blog. Jeff is teaching in Shanghai China these days at an American school. We’ll chat a bit about the state of blogging and educational technology in China. The rest of the program is still coming together. Stop by if you’re in the neighborhood.

Savvy Technologist live

Posted on by

Here’s something to consider adding to your schedule for this year’s NECC.

I will be doing a live Savvy Technologist Podcast on Thursday, July 6 from 5:00–6:00 p.m. in California Gold, 31B (that’s the room). I don’t know exactly what I’m going to do, but I know there will be plenty of audience participation! I’ll probably try to corral a couple guests and then take a bunch of questions from the audience. Stay tuned for more about that as NECC approaches.

My Ed Tech Coast to Coast colleagues and I will also be doing a live version of that podcast. We’ll be recording on Wednesday, July 5 from 5:00–6:00 p.m. in the same California Gold, 31B room. We should have the whole crew there.

I’ve never done a live podcast before so this should be quite an adventure. Don’t leave me hanging. I need an audience!

Podcasts from NSBA’s TLN meeting

Posted on by

I posted recently about my trip to my Chicago to do some podcasting. Apple sponsored a day-long meeting of NSBA’s Technology Leadership Network, and we had some great speakers. David Warlick delivered a great opening keynote, and Ken Kay from the Partnership for 21st Century Skills did a wonderful job of putting 21st century skills into context for me and everyone else in attendance.

I recorded Ken’s presentation and created an enhanced podcast that includes the slides from his talk. I didn’t record David’s session, but we sat down for a chat afterwards. You can download both podcasts from the official NSBA conference blog.

Quick podcast links

I’ve set up a little page with one-click access to my past podcasts. You’ll see it on the right side of the page if you’re reading this on my site rather than in your aggregator. This should make it a little easier to locate old episodes that you might want to listen to again… and again… and again.

Podcast Palooza

Posted on by

I think my presentation at Apple’s Podcast Palooza on Wednesday night went pretty well. (There was no audible booing.) David Warlick was there and snapped a photo. At least half the group had listened to a podcast before. I’m not sure how that compares to similar gatherings, but I had the sense that there was pretty good awareness of the broad topic. Feel free to have a listen to the event. We recorded it and posted it on the FETC 2006 podcast page. You can also link directly to the Podcast Palooza presentation, but I would recommend subscribing to the whole collection of podcasts. We’ve been talking to some really interesting people. I spoke with ISTE CEO Don Knezek today, and tomorrow we’ll be interviewing Chris Dede from Harvard, Cheryl Lemke from the Metiri Group, and David Thornburg. Check it out.

Savvy Technologist Podcast program update

Posted on by

I’m delighted to announce that I will be producing a multi-episode podcast series on digital storytelling over the next few weeks. I’ve got some great guests lined up included Joe Lambert from the Center for Digital Storytelling, Bernajean Porter from Bernajean Porter Consulting and Digitales, and Jeanne Biddle, Technology Director from the Scott County Schools in Kentucky.

The purpose of this post is to whet your appetite and invite you to participate by submitting questions. Audio questions can be submitted by sending an audio file to savvytechnologistpodcast@gmail.com. Written questions are fine too, but not nearly as fun. If you do submit an audio question, please make sure you identify yourself by name (if you’re brave enough) and let me know where you’re “calling” from.
