(This is a text summary of the He Said She Said podcast from March 17, 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, Rob and Susan talk still further about introducing creativity in the classroom. As context, Rob references recent blog posts by Miguel Guhlin and Will Richardson that deal with the new generation of technology tools we have and ask what the role of these tools is in our efforts to revolutionize education. Susan begins the conversation by pointing out that the tools don’t represent new concepts as much as they do new forms of delivery. The interactivity and community-based teaching approach has always been out there but these tools make that approach accessible to teachers and institutions on a broader scale. Rob and Susan then talk about the interesting phenomenon of synchronous tools sometimes having less of an impact in education than asynchronous tools. They agree that the best solutions seem to be “slightly synchronous” and that allow lots of multitasking.
