 That sounds like a good idea but I wonder if there is a catch to 
 it. We already have enough filters and cesnors on the Internet. 

Peter I'm not sure what type of catch there could be - Filters will be
freely available to all Australian families. Push pornography is a major
issue for minors in Australia (push being pornography that is not accessed
directly; rather the child visits a non-porn web that causes porn popups
and/or installs a BHO that accesses porn sites without user intervention).
Filters are one method of negating these threats, although I acknowledge not
the only method.

Cheers,

[DDN] podcasts from the anytime, anywhere learning summit

2006-06-23 Thread Andy Carvin

Hi everyone,

I've recorded a series of podcasts at the anytime, anywhere learning 
foundation summit (aalf.org) here in Boston. Each podcast is about 45 
minutes long, between 15 and 20 megabytes.


Ben Shneiderman:
http://www.andycarvin.com/archives/2006/06/ben_shneiderman_on_m.html

Ben is the author of Da Vinci's Laptop, and is a computer 
scientist/edtech researcher at the University of Maryland. He talks 
about the need to make students ecstatic about learning, using 
authentic, interactive learning experiences that positively affect the 
community. He also talks about his work with Hive Group 
(http://www.hivegroup.com/), developing web-based visualization tools 
for exploring complex data sets.


Mike Furdyk:
http://www.andycarvin.com/archives/2006/06/mike_furdyk_takes_it.html

Mike is one of the founders of TakingITGlobal.org, the global youth 
activism network. He talks about his life growing up with technology 
from the time he was a toddler, and how it led to him creating an online 
community where young people can come together to affect positive social 
change.


Tim Magner:
http://www.andycarvin.com/archives/2006/06/tim_magner_laptops_a.html

Tim is the director of the Office of Education Technology at the US 
Department of Education. In his presentation, he offers a broad overview 
of emerging technologies, from mobile devices to nanotechnology, and 
examines the role these tools should play in education and educational 
management.


Hope you enjoy the podcasts.

thanks,
andy
