I’m a huge fan of Charlottetownasaurus. You didn’t tell the fine folks they can subscribe in the iToons and that it has had air time on ds106radio back in the day.
I specifically remember talking with you and Kyle Mackie (probably over twitter) about wanting to hear less Dave and more Oscar. No offense, of course, but seriously it is a joy to listen to him talk.
Now, months later, watching the video, I think you do an excellent job of talking with him.
What really strikes me is the number of FACTS! This is both a criticism and a compliment. You don’t believe in facts!! But actually, how incredibly clever because it’s one of the best examples to put under your microscope to study about rhizomatic learning.
In fairness, it should be argued that you actually foster a great deal of rhizomatic learning by allowing Oscar to move from one topic to the next on his own terms. When he shifted from the toys to the book, you didn’t shut him down and tell him it wasn’t on the lesson plan or the podcast storyboard. You allowed him to share his interest and show his learning in ways he wanted. To me, that is rhizomatic.
During the COOLCast today, I asked Erik Duval about how much he felt teaching his students differed from teaching his own children. He said not much, except of course, he loves his children more.
I kind of wish every person taught their subjects as if they were teaching their own children. It would probably make a lot more sense that way.
