Dreaming of Digital Film Making Pedagogy

We are starting our new semester Berkeley High. (I almost wrote Alter High-as in Robert Alter mmm....) I am really happy. For the final last semester a group of students made a short film on The Book of Revelations; it was amazing! Filled with some tie-dyed tripped-out visions. Man, I was inside of John's head!  These are my kind of students, and the reason why I am a teacher.

Have a Great Weekend!



Hello folks, I am really looking forward to this blog becoming an active diary filled with the ups and downs of how I can use technology in my classroom. I am going to involve my students in this quest. I think they may end up being my tutors and collaborators. I am bringing the video camera to school, and maybe will document their ideas and voices.

Hello Digital Stargate!

I have just started a class at U.C Berkeley called Tech Education. I am a bit overwhelmed, and am also thrilled. I hope to share my "journey" with you. Stay tooned folks!
