Teaching For The Future
I went to Podcamp 3 in Boston this past weekend, a venue for learning and sharing about social media. There were lots of podcasters, social media experts, marketing & advertising professionals there — and at least one teacher!
Dave LaMorte is a teacher in Cambridge, MA (where FloSpace is based!) and he authors a blog called TeachingForTheFuture.com. The blog focuses “on the convergence of education, culture, and technology.” Looking through his blog, recent postings have discussed using YouTube in the classroom, motivating reluctant readers, as well as overcoming the cultural gaps between adults (parents, educators) and youths. Many of the blog’s postings are audio podcasts, which is cool to hear. Educators will also appreciate his carefully researched listing of citations related to each podcast.
