Well, it has been a week or so since I got back from San Fransisco where I accepted the Totally Wired Teacher Award for 2007 from Edutopia and Yahoo for Teachers. This podcast has the introduction and my speech. I don't think that it is particularly eloquent, but I do think that it goes right along with everything that I have worked for on this podcast. Let me know what you think.

Podcast Summary

My hope is that these educational podcasts add something to the cannon of classroom research and theory being done in K-12 situations across the country. These podcasts are made either in my car or in my 7th/8th grade classroom. They are mostly discussing the different elements of creating a 21st century learners (Web 2.0 technology, Authentic practice, Flat classrooms, etc.)
