Comment on Ed Tech Crew 115 – Spying Laptop by Josh Janssen

Great episode guys,

On the topic of video editing software, I think the main concern with the removal of timeline based editing and the introduction of storyboard style editing for consumer products like iMovie and Moviemaker is that students are learning editing techniques that are not common to industry software like Final Cut Pro and AVID. Schools should encourage students to edit with Timeline, layer based editing, like Final Cut Pro or Premiere Pro.

Comment on Ed Tech Crew 109 – 1:1 netbooks in Loddon Mallee by admin

Fair comment, Darren. But you can certainly tell the difference between classrooms that have it and those that don’t! The word ‘engagement’ may be over used but if you haven’t got students on task and interested it’s very hard to achieve the learning outcomes. I think the point we were trying to make is that ICT increases that engagement and therefore is more likely to increase the learning. Jamie, who was on the podcast has some hard data as evidence from absence records, connectedness surveys, and literacy and numeracy assessment results. This just isn’t anecdotal observation. Thanks for the feedback.

Great show guys, lots of useful tips on 1:1 there.
However, I do think the term ‘Engagement’ is becoming a little over used.

Makes me think of the movie, The Castle, and the expression, “How’s the serenity? So much serenity!” but rather, in the classroom of today, How’s the Engagment? So much Engagment!

Comment on Ed Tech Crew 105 – The big bad episode and bring back JUNG! by admin

Hi Darren,
Apple do make great stuff but most of the schools I work with couldn’t afford to do an apple laptop program either. Netbooks have meant a greater, affordable chance of putting computers in the hands of the learners.
Cheers
Darrel

Was this podcast brought to us by our ‘friends’ at Apple computer? Seems the ADE program is paying off big time for Apple. Great to here Apple fan boys like Glen, just wish we could afford them at our school.

Congratulations on the interview with Tom March guys. He’s an incredibly innovative thinker. Your interview provided an opportunity for him to unpack some of the thinking in his article. I’m sure he appreciated your exploratory questioning. I certainly did.

Hi,
Oh boy did I babble on and on! Oops! (By the way, the 2nd conference I went to this past summer was Alan November’s BLC Conference.)

On behalf of my students, thanks for airing the congratulations wishes from “Bob”, “Billy Billy”, “Jerry” and “Paul”! Your show has made a huge impact of them and my other students because you were their first brush with what it means to be global.

From all the way across the globe, the EdTechCrew has been so supportive and encouraging to my students. When my 10-13 year old students hear you mention them, or our math video project, or yes, even their teacher (me), they get so excited! It charges them with purpose and makes them want to produce even more student-created tutorials. I can truly write that the experiences and opportunities your podcast has given them has positively-changed them forever. Thanks! -Eric

Wonder if the book your English teacher used was The Mysteries of Harris Burdick by Chris Van Allsburg?

Comment on Ed Tech Crew 98 – An Interview with Adrian Bruce by Marita Thomson

What an inspiration Adrian is to us all! I have listened to the interview 3 times this week and used SCAMPER with a class yesterday. It dovetailed with an idea I was working on but had not been happy with. I knew of Adrian’s great work but can see it now in a broader context and perspective. His model of personal professional learning is a terrific one to work towards. Thanks Tony & Darrel (and Adrian!)

Comment on Ed Tech Crew 85 – Laptops for Learning, Wiimote IWB’s in a session with Ben Jones by tony

Hi Darren,

Some good points – your idea of a head to head dicsussion on the IWB’s sounds good. There is a good debate in that one – possibly something to do online.

Cheers

Tony

Comment on Ed Tech Crew 85 – Laptops for Learning, Wiimote IWB’s in a session with Ben Jones by Darren

Darren — Wed, 13 May 2009 05:59:42 +0000

Great show guys, always great to have young guys like Ben, lecturing us old guys on classroom technology. Would like to have heard Chris Betcha in a face off with Ben Jones on IWB’s. I think Ben forgot to mention the $1000 projector in his $55 IWB too.
Would like to have heard more about the netbook roll out from Ben, I think he brushed over a few major issues with the program, but time will tell. Let’s hope the laptop program doesn’t come to a deap stop in four years time. cheers Darren
