Weblogg-ed TV Episode 1: Dr. Warren Buckleitner

By


I wanted to play more with UStream.tv and so today I invited my good friend Warren Buckleitner to the first real “show” at Weblogg-ed TV. Warren is the editor of Children’s Technology Review, is a writer about children’s technology for the New York Times, and runs the Dust or Magic? conference each year (which this year, btw, will feature presentations by Mitch Resnick and Marc Prensky.) As luck would have it, Warren spent this morning in New York City and came back with a bag full of schwag to show and many ideas about the explosion of social software and technology for younger kids. I think we had a pretty good 45-minute long talk that you can view right here if you like.

The best part? We had 22 people in the room at one point, and there was some great back channel conversation and questioning going on as we blathered away. It was really, really fun. We’re going to do another show on Saturday, this time talking to kids about how they use software. You can get the details by watching the video. ;0)

Thanks to those that watched. I would love to hear your comments. Too. Much. Fun.

    I was directed to the show by Kristin Hokanson via skype. The network comes through again.

    Great tool, great talk, I look forward to seeing this grow. With this, Yugma, and Skype casts I see great things for PD and the “un”conference.

    Don’t get me wrong I like travel, but I would rather watch this than 90% of the garbage on actual TV. Then again…I’m a geek.

    I’ve been following your blog for a few weeks now, Will, after being referred to you by a friend. Great stuff. The ustream show with Buckleitner was good fun and a great example of what can be done with this technology (thanks for giving us something teeth-sinkable that we could all relate to).

    The quality was ok. It was best when the two of you would stay still (hand gestures or any quick movements caused hesitations and hiccups). But even with those, no information was lost. And it was a simple matter to scoot it back and watch a segment again.

    Will, Are you able to get an RSS feed for your episodes? I’d love to have them appearing in my iTunes. (I don’t know much about video formats, so I realize that might not be an option.)

    Will,
    Awesome. I was listening to you live from Chicago tonight. I heard you mention that you were going to be live again on Saturday with some students. This sounds like the start of some very good conversations.
