So many of today’s youth are tech savvy media producers. They are creating 21st century culture. In Education, we believe we are making progress as we slowly work to incorporate on and offline technological tools for production, collaboration, and communication into the classroom. But, are we missing a critical opportunity? We talk with educators Neil Andersen and Michelle Solomon from the Association for Media Literacy on integrating media literacy into the classroom.

Jane and our guests continued this conversation when they presented at the AML Conference on April 21, 2012. If you would like to see additional conversation about this topic check out #aml21c on twitter.

We enjoyed having a guest for our last podcast that we decided to do it again this week. We met Philip when he commented about our podcast on Twitter and on this blog. We wanted to know more so we invited him to participate this week.

Phil is visiting us from Montreal’s Concordia University. He is Technology and Art teacher who is working on his Masters in Art Education with the Faculty of Fine Arts.

This week our podcast starts with a discussion about the Montreal Gazette’s article, “Computers in schools: money well-spent, Concordia University says“. We also talk about using technology in the classroom and the importance of PD for teachers. It was a fun discussion where we talk about art, technology, Arduino, science, media and music.

Hope you enjoy this episode and you can find the show notes in Google Docs.

Our video podcast can also be viewed on YouTube if you cannot view the Blip.tv video above.

We recorded a podcast last week and hoped to do a little editing over the weekend before posting. We realized that the conversation went a little long and we experienced a number of technical difficulties. We will be re-recording early this week and will be posting it very soon.

On a side note, Jane and I went to EdCampWR over the weekend and we are working through some of the great ideas that were shared with us. We will be using some of those ideas in future podcasts.
