Hi Glenn,
That quote was from a Scott McLeod’s post.
This was my comment:
- – - – -
When I first made the movie it was actually a slide show addressed to a class of student teachers. I added a few slides and made it into the movie for a BLC08 presentation. In that presentation I spent almost an hour breaking down the rants, and the “I cant’s”. I then gave a glimpse of the future I see in education and explained the importance of having students (and teachers) experience a network… and THEN I showed the video.

I’m not sure of the reaction this will get from newbies as a stand-alone video? I can see the fear of ‘too much’ sneaking in, and I can see the ‘competition’ having negative connotations. Can it also excite people, I would like to think so!

However, I have to wonder: Does this video just ‘preach to the converted’?

In the end, the video is a story of a personal journey, and one where I started to see truly meaningful differentiated, and empowered learning in my class… that excited me as both a teacher and a learner.

As for not Plurking, I tried it briefly, but it requires too much time. And as for this video… it took hours and hours to convert from ppt to video, something others would have found simple! Maybe I’m not as far as I originally thought;-)
So you see, it isn’t a pendulum, it is a continuum and WE are moving in the right direction, at the right speed for us… no comparison needed.

Dave – It was great talking to you a few weeks back. Thanks again for calling. I may be up your way in the next month or so.

This video’s great. Someone else mentioned that after watching this video people would say “I don’t want to be that connected”. As I was thinking this over and thinking to myself “yeah, that’s where I’m at. I don’t even plurk” I realized that I spent 45 minutes trying to get a Linux OS working on my cell phone. Although my pendulum has swung, maybe it’s not as far as I originally thought.
