(This is a text summary of the He Said She Said podcast from March 7, 2006. This is a weekly podcast that deals with a wide range of topics on Education and Educational Technology. The show’s host is Rob Reynolds and he is joined by Susan Smith Nash. A new He Said She Said podcast is available every week on Xplana Radio.)
In this podcast, Susan and Rob continue their discussion on putting creativity back into education. As a launching point, Rob begins with a brief discussion of recent posts from Dave Warlick and Clarence Fisher regarding mashups in education. Susan follows up with comments on spontaneity and cognitive apprenticeships, and then both begin sharing some of their own personal experiences with “un-schooling.” Rob talks about his experiences in Kindergarten while Susan describes her own journey as a young child and how that shaped the rest of her learning experiences. They end by describing a need for mashup environments in which learners create outcomes rather than “guided ” into arriving at pre-determine outcomes.
As a reminder, as part of this series of three podcasts, we’re asking listeners, readers, and friends to send us their personal “un-schooling” stories. These should be anecdotes about positive and fun learning experiences/teaching moments that were either “outside of the box” or that were particularly infused with creativity and fun. Stories can be shared either through the comments portion of this blog or via e-mail at rob dot reynolds @ xplana dot com.
