Comments on: If I Had More Time… http://cogdogblog.com/2006/02/27/if-i-had-more-time/ Alan Levine's space for barking about and playing with technology Mon, 13 Feb 2012 07:01:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Alan http://cogdogblog.com/2006/02/27/if-i-had-more-time/comment-page-1/#comment-3576 Alan Wed, 08 Mar 2006 12:25:08 +0000 http://cogdogblog.com/2006/02/27/if-i-had-more-time/#comment-3576 Hi Robyn, I wish I could say for certain, but if I had that answer, I'd be bumping people like Mark Presnsky off of the international lecture circuit, and driving a 911 Porsche convertible ;-) My guess is that you are motivated, your grandkids are in-culturated, but your students may be a product of the environment that the practices our schools/society to now have rewarded. It's all about motivation; not the technology, why should they chat? What will they get out of it? What is the "hhok"? Is there a personal tie in? professional? Or maybe you should just swap and teach the grandkids ;-) Oh, they likely do not need to be "taught" but "coached"? Hi Robyn,

Luckily I have grandchildren who have hauled me kicking and screaming into the texting and podcasting age. I'm getting proficient in both but my students aren't. What's the problem?

Actually, if the shout-out refers to a recording I made that greeted you, have I somehow shouted-out to myself through a third party? Is that even <em>legal</em> in Arizona? Seriously, this is a typically thoughtful and observant post that helps me think through my own plant-the-disruptive-seed strategy. It occurs to me that the first thing someone interested in podcasts should do is listen to some podcasts. Obvious, yes, but that's my specialty. Maybe the middle ground is just finding and subscribing to some favorites that are not necessarily "school" podcasts, then thinking about the possibilities for teaching and learning. And I certainly agree with you about not letting teachers off the hook as creators--or students either. I think the creative process helps us all re-imagine what we're doing in the classroom.

I subscribe to it via the Podcatcher on a stick ( http://www.rotzoll.de/podblogger/mp3stick/ ) which sits on my Creative Nano, and all the attachments come down OK. I'm not sure about iPods, but the Creative players are just treated like a USB memory stick. Thanks for the, always illuminating, postings. Mark Hi Alan,
