Podcast

I subscribed to the Podcast, "Sowing the Seeds for a More Creative Society" by Mitchel Resnick. I liked this Podcast because it is a challenge to schools and educators to view computers as creative tools for design and expression rather than mere dispensers of information. The curriculum implications are innovative, in that he challenges educators to step outside of the box and become guides for developing the inventive side of students, knowing that invention involves higher level thinking processes which can be achieved through this unconventional approach to computer use and teaching. What I didn't like about the Podcast was that the presenter used many visuals which of course were not possible to see, but only hear about.
