I’m not sure how many people discuss the pros and cons of allowing public blog commenting on students blogs at their seder table, but that’s what’s on my mind! The Kathy Sierra situation and Stop Cyberbullying day has left a taste in my mouth worse than matzah with a heaping helping of horseradish. So in this podcast, I share my thoughts about why comments on students blogs should be left wide open most of the time, even though I fully realize that it might open them up to public slamming. I’m really not a bad guy for the most part, so you’ll just have to listen and then tell me if I’m absolutely nuts.
Enjoy the show!

Ladies and Gentleman, this is the third podcast in as many days. Being published a day behind, but that’s no big deal. And I do believe that I’ve now published as many podcasts this week as the last 12 months combined. Yikes!
Topic: Filters… *grunt* What are they good for? Absolutely nothing! Heh, even while typing I have a bad singing voice. Regardless, I was thinking yesterday about what service filters really serve our schools. Do they really accomplish what we think they do? And of course, the million dollar question, will I put filters on Aiden’s computer when he begins surfing the internet at the ripe ol’ age of 18 months?
Sorry about the clipping and the background noise. It was raining out, which doesn’t sound as cool as I thought it would.
Enjoy the show!

Two for two! This podcast was recorded yesterday, but I didn’t get a chance to upload it till now. Audio kinda stinks, but sometimes you just have to make do with the tools you have. The fact that I could still create a podcast despite the fact that I had no equipment just makes me so happy I could do the snoopy dance.
The primary question of the show is, where’s the really good free stuff that is built with education in mind? Where’s the EduDelicious? The EduBloglines? The EduFlickr? And I’m not talking about some hack of it that has an ‘edu’ added to the front of it, I’m talking something really designed with classrooms in mind? Teachers, students, parents, and so on? I find it incredible that the stuff still doesn’t exist. I also discuss a couple out […]
