Driving Questions podcasts

 My favorite road rant is "Get off the damn phone and drive." So when some guy contacts me to do a phone interview while he is driving to work, I had my concerns.

But I wound up visiting with Kevin Honeycutt, a staff development specialist for ESSDACK in Hutchinson, Kansas for a bit one morning last week. After he promised to pull off to the side of the road for the inteview. The result is two podcasts for his "Driving Questions" series. He was a very nice fellow to visit with about things like technology ethics, the future of libraries, and such.

And Kevin's ESSDACK Central website looks like a rich resource I intend to explore more fully.

Upcoming webinar

Hi folks,

Policies 2.0: Rules for the Social Web
In the radically-changing world of social networking, where an embarrassing photo can travel the globe in seconds, online predators are the topic of nightly news programs, students cite wikis as authoritative sources, and young adults travel as avatars to virtual worlds where anything can happen (and does), what policies do schools need to set and how do they set them? Is today's AUP sufficient for Web 2.0? How do we not just protect children today, but teach them to protect themselves well into the future?
