Clay BurellNetworked Learning Podcast with International Educators

Here’s another Skype conference call, “quick-in, quick-out,” with people who simply answered a Twitter invitation from me here in Seoul, Korea, to discuss ways to make my Personal Learning Network / Communication Arts English Seminar better. Most of the conversation is with Corrie Bergeron of Cleveland, Ohio - “educator, husband, father, musician, aviation nut” - and a very smart man, with whom I’ve never spoken before submitting a one-line tweet to my Twitter network. He’s interested in this class, and took 40 minutes to discuss it with me instantly.

Other people in my Twitter network came in later: George Mayo of Maryland, USA; Jabiz Raisdana, an international school teacher in Doha, Qatar; and Madeline Brownstone, a teacher and New York City National Writing Project advisor. I’ve talked to George a couple of times, but this was the first voice-to-voice with Jabiz and Madeline.

Let me spell a couple things out: Twitter, Skype, and this blog have very quickly combined into an instant-meeting medium for me to learn from people around the world who are interested in helping me succeed at what I’m trying to do in my own project-based learning - which just happens to be about using the new tools to allow students to learn in new ways. This podcast is at once a datum of and a discussion about Personal Learning Networks.
