[bjc] Morning
We began with excellent session, led by Brendan Greeley, on podcasting. Very informative and good at the conceptual level as well. It seemed to be well received by the media folks. (Q: Why was this session about podcasting accepted so well while text blogging stuff yesterday met hostility?) Next, Ethan Zuckerman is leading a session about tools. Jimmy Wales of Wikipedia starts off by talking about why it has a neutral point of view (NPOV) policy. Without it, he says, he'd lose tons of contributors. I ask Jimmy: You have an operational view of neutrality: It's neutral when we stop... From Joho the Blog on January 22, 2005 at 11:48 p.m..

[bjc] My dinner talk
I gave the after dinner speech to the conference. The incredible SJ has posted a rough, unedited transcript. (I haven't read it yet.)

Date Set for Grokster
Oral arguments will be held March 29. Who's planning to come out for it? I'm scheming travel arrangements, though I would imagine it will be even trickier to get into this than to Eldred - only 25 people from the general public were allowed in then.  Who's going to camp out?

Model of Learning
In the process of working through out technology plan at our school, I've been thinking a lot about how to frame the directions that the Read/Write Web is taking learning. The other day, in fact, a colleague and I did a presentation for our Ed Tech Committee outlining the pedagogies and "toolpaths" that we see coming down the road. Stephen Powell posted this model of learning on his site last week and it captures a lot of my own thinking as well: From weblogged News on January 22, 2005 at 11:47 p.m..

Tinky Winky's Spawn
SpongeBob and his children's television ilk have recently joined homosexuals, Bill Clinton, and Janet Jackson's boob in the not-so-exclusive club of enemies of the American Family Association (AMA), CNN and Agape Press report. A music video to be sent to 61,000 U.S. schools in March features SpongeBob, Barney, Winnie the Pooh, Bob the Builder, and other TV cartoon characters singing along to a remake of "We Are Family" with modified lyrics preaching tolerance. However, there is a catch: "In an attempt to speak directly to the nation's children about "tolerance and diversity. From kuro5hin.org on January 22, 2005 at 11:45 p.m..
