Teachers and Video blogging, Part 1
Syndication for Higher Ed caught up with Jonny Goldstein at the recent Vloggercon 2006 in San Francisco, where he was presenting about his experience teaching kids to video blog in New York City public schools. (Check out their site BX21.org.) I asked him how teachers should approach video blogging as a classroom tool, and he made some excellent suggestions about how to get kids to use video blogs to help support learning in a variety of subjects. I think he’s right on target.
I should note that in this segment, Jonny refers to the work of Jen Simmons (Temple University) and Bre Pettis, both co-panelists in Jonny’s Vloggercon session on vlogging in education.
Stay tuned for part two of this interview, where Jonny talks about the technical and logistical side of video blogging.
Thanks for interviewing for SHE, Jonny!

It was a pleasure talking to you,Dan. There’s no doubt videoblogging has tons of potential in the educational sphere. Here’s the audio interview file of Podcast for Teachers I refer to in the interview:

It’s around 20 minutes of one of my students Kavon, his mentor Gina Telaroli, and myself fielding questions from technology education veteran Mark Gura. Recommended for educators looking into incorporating this medium into their work.
Also, here’s a link to the video of our educators panel at Vloggercon:

I’m glad you are spending time researching and thinking about this burgeoning medium and how it can connect to education. Keep up the good work.
Jonny Goldstein
