Videoblogging and education go together like peanut butter and jelly. And all of sudden, there are a lot of sandwiches being made. Here’s some links to some recent activity on this front:
Vlogging For K-12 Teachers Group. Membership is open to anyone interested in vlogging and education.
Gena Davis helped get a wiki for the group. Feel free to contribute links to related resources there.
Ryanne Hodson is teaching videoblogging to public school kids in Manhattan in an afterschool program at School of the Future. Here is the vlog of one of her students “Pac Man Van” Gonzalez. Here is one of Ryanne’s assignments. Of course, with vlogging the personal can get mixed up with the public and the professional. Ryanne has a great post featuring her class, a conversation with me about teaching, and a whole bunch of other interesting stuff.
For fans of infographics (I know you’re out there), here is a diagram I made about vlogging in education.
Jan McLaughlin put up an amazing post from teacher Carl Weaver’s GED class, and with interview footage with Weaver. Carl’s students are young people who, for whatever reason, did not succeed in the traditional education system. This piece is a fascinating look at this slice of reality.
Here’s Carl Weaver’s own piece about the frustrations of his workplace.
Bre Pettis is incorporating vlogging into his art and language arts teaching at room 132.com. Groundbreaking stuff here.
Danny Maas is vlogging away at TILT (Teachers Improving Learning With Technology).
On the university level, Jen Simmons is teaching a multimedia course in which all the students create videoblogs at Temple University in Philadelphia.
Eyebeam Atelier is doing an afterschool class for high school students using vlogging to explore media ecology and ideas of Utopia.
Of course we also have NODE 101, and freevlog.org which are powerful educational resources.
And there is doubtless much more happening that I haven’t heard of. Let us know in the comments if you know of other interesting vlogging-in-education news, and I’ll update this story accordingly.
Until then, I hope these tidbits keep your stomach from grumbling.

I’m teaching a two-part vlog workshop at IFP here in the Twin Cities. And another one in December at the Walker Art Center, for teen girls I believe. yay teaching!
