Clay BurellBeyond "Schooly" Global Collaboration to "Quick-In, Quick-Out" Networked Learning

Here in Korea on a Friday night, close to midnight, I hop onto Twitter, see Chris Craft is there in South Carolina, USA, and tweet him an invitation to talk on Skype. He kindly obliges (and it's just a free international computer phone call now, so that ain't hard).

I record it, edit it, and an hour later, self-publish it for anybody in the world who is interested in lessons learned from two humble pioneers of global classroom collaboration.

Our topic? We take up the question of how to refine our approach to global collaborative projects so that they are less prone to fail, or to wear out all parties involved (teachers and students) when they succeed.

I'm most excited by the last 5 minutes or so. Chris and I fell into a spontaneous "pedagogical jam session" in which we riffed on the idea that the best projects are - not projects at all*. Instead, they are authentic uses - and modelings - of Personal Learning Networks (PLN's) via Twitter, Skype, Facebook, etc: "quick in and quick out."
