I am an assistant professor in the Radio-TV-Film department at UT-Austin and also do development and research for community-based groups who are working with media education, youth media, media arts, archives, and social networking projects. I write and speak to groups around the world about the need for new media education policies and programs.
Thanks for the invite. I'm a strong supporter of media in education, have produced numerous educational videos and have a daughter who used to make videos as an alternative to writing papers. I look forward to hearing more from you.
I made my first educational films in 1964 (B/W) and have been a keen promoter of all things graphical even before that!
I am presently exploring simple video-graphics for children but not getting far with voice-over PowerPoint animations! - Do you know any OSS that can do the job?
Thanks for the invitation.
I have worked with one education tv-project in Sweden. The young students (11 year) asked their grandfathers/grandmothers about a moment in their youth, and they make a comics about this moment. It was a combination of history and comics. We also made some interviews with swedish cartoonists and comic history.
I also made a course book and a manual for the teachers.
A lot of schools used this methods in their schools.
It was funny and possible to use in different countries.
At our K-8 school we are contemplating introducing social networking to our students. Currently they spent so much time on their profiles in their FirstClass email and Moodle (Open Source course management software) that I think they would learn so many more skills putting time into their existence in a social network.
I just discovered Pageflakes (pageflakes.com and flakes are widgets like those added in iGoogle accounts) but really like the student pageflake accounts and default widgets (student.pageflakes.com). Are there other social networking opportunities that we should look at? Parents fear MySpace and Facebook right now and I think we can promote student pageflakes as teaching the skills and how to be safe AND LEARN in social networks. I know I am learning much in the Classroom 2.0 network.
Thanks for the invitation. You've probably seen that my interest is mostly in literacy and related things. I'm more engaged in trying to persuade my colleagues in a post 16 college to use Web 2.0. I blog and read blogs, I shout the praises of pageflakes, and use odd bits and peices with my students.
Coincidently my partner teaches TV at the Unversity of Salford - she's a camera specialist, but does not use web learning.

I am testing some new web 2.0 apps for education now and I am translating some most interesting to Czech language or writing about for Czech webzines.
