At a recent Boston Media Makers meeting, Andy Carvin let it spill that he was going to be authoring a blog for PBS about learning, technology, and culture called “Learning Now.” He wanted to call it “Appetite for Construction” but I guess that was a little too edgy for PBS. The site should go live in mid-April. Andy will explore how the educational establishment grapples with new social media phenomena like Wikipedia, videobloggging, and MySpace. As someone who works with technology in public schools, I think a blog like this, with the kind of national exposure PBS will bring, is long overdue. It is time for people to start talking about the good, the bad, and the ugly of the way that the education world integrates, or gets swamped by, the new technology currents swirling around it. So, whatever your “Appetite for Construction,” I hope you are ready for “Learning Now.”
