On the Radio

September 7, 2006 By Will Richardson

So that was a fast 20 minutes, much faster than the NYC area traffic that slowed me down to the point that instead of going to the WNYC studios for my little radio appearance today I ended up pulling off and doing the interview from a friend’s office phone. Nonetheless, it was fun and interesting, as always, especially the callers. When the first caller started off disagreeing with my take on the MySpace issue, I thought I might be in trouble. But then a parent who started a MySpace site, a minister who uses MySpace to connect with his kids…now that was all a pleasant surprise. Maybe we’re turning a corner. Here is the link to the streamed version of the interview. The MP3 is also up.

BTW, anyone have any news on DOPA???

    In an elementary library class I introduced a blog I created for kids to talk about our book award nominees. When I initially showed it to them, they were very ho-hum, but when I equated it to something like MySpace, well they suddenly were interested and many seemed to understand. This is a Title I predominantly poor community school. So I think web 2.0 is definitley a way to breathe new life into the curriculum. I know my kids were definitely interested, though shucks gosh darn, it’s early. None have yet to post to the blog EXCEPT the authors of the books I am blogging about. But I need to remember, it’s just September…
