Introducing my New PBS Blog, learning.now
I'm very excited to announce the launch of a new blog, learning.now. This blog, which I'll be writing and editing for PBS Online, will focus on the intersection of Internet culture and education. One of the primary goals is to help guide educators through the ins and outs of what's often referred to as "Web 2.0," including blogging, podcasting, vlogging, RSS, social software and community networks. I'm planning to explore some of the creative ways students and teachers are using interactive technologies to improve learning, as well as dissect the controversies that often occur when classroom culture and online culture collide.
The website officially kicks off Tuesday, but I wanted to give readers a sneak preview of the site. And please feel free to offer any suggestions on the types of subjects you'd like me to tackle on the blog. I'm hoping this will be an engaging discussion in which I can learn from all of you and share some of the exciting work that's going on in classrooms today.
For those of you visiting my blog because of learning.now, welcome to Andy Carvin's Waste of Bandwidth. This has been my personal homepage for the last 11 years, and I use it to discover a whole range of issues, not to mention share stories about life in general. I hope you enjoy the new blog, as well as my old one. :-) -andy
