Video Pod Chronicles Nice video from Len Edgerly
The actor Richard Dreyfuss yesterday made stirring comments about how Apple's ability to make learning fun points to a crucial task for this country - how to continue the struggle against ignorance as a republic founded on democratic principles. The venue was a reception at Macworld Expo in San Francisco showing of a brand new John Lennon Educational Tour Bus, where six students from the School of the Arts in San Francisco spent a day making a movie with Dreyfus.
“School play” Nice post from Jesse from digitalnatives
"As I mentioned in my last blog post, one of the most interesting things about the Totally Wired forum was hearing Katie Salen talk about games in education.
In her introduction (PDF) to a new volume entitled “Ecology of Games,” Salen quotes Nobel laureate Herbert Simon: “the meaning of ‘knowing’ has shifted from being able to remember and repeat information to being able to find and use it.” Salen believes that games are a perfect way to teach these “new media literacy skills.”
The use of games in school is controversial, and it’s easy to see why.
On one hand, learning through play is so fundamentally natural that it transcends species."
WEB VIDEO summit Dec. 10-11 2007 Creating & Distributing web videos over the net
Web Videos has changed the rules. Come learn them.
RE-THINK. RE-INVENT. REACH the WORLD
With the technology speedbumps behind us, we're starring at open road ahead for Web video. What we do with this opportunity is up to us. Web Video Summit features insights and real-world success stories from 15 award-winning video creators, all sharing what they believe could inspire your work in turn. Whether Sun Microsystems' multimedia lead or reporters back from Baghdad, they've mastered tools and solved problems you may face. We won't just be talking about what you need to do, we'll be showing you, with constant video examples and most importantly, we'll be asking you what you think as we go.
Re-think the way you approach Web video projects. Your strategies need to be adjusted...
Re-invent yourself. The skills that have served you so well for past video projects don't always translate to the most effective Web video. Techniques need to be modified, and at times a completely different approach is needed...
Reach your audience by mastering the best tools and finding the right partners. Our panelists include the folks behind the best editing software, the leading content distribution networks, and experts on creating your web presence. Talent agents and lawyers suggest how to protect yourself among the sharks. Thursday's Video Search Engines keynote will teach you to help the audience find you, with the AOL VP, the Google lead, and two of the most innovative independents.

Nicolai Ouroussoff reviews the New Museum at its new home on the Bowery.
NY Times article November 30, 2007
New York is in the cultural doldrums. The city is bursting with gorgeous art exhibitions, but where is the raw energy? Where is the new blood, intent on upending the establishment? Today, once-rebellious talents often seem to be wandering lost in the constellation of celebrity, where they soon settle into complacency.
Designed by the Japanese firm Sanaa, the New Museum of Contemporary Art, on the Bowery at Prince Street on the Lower East Side, is the kind of building that renews your faith in New York as a place where culture is lived, not just bought and sold.
