Girls and Computers Live Now!

Posted by arvind s grover Thu, 26 Apr 2007 23:40:29 GMT

Right now, right this second as I post this, I am Skype-connected to Concord Academy in Concord Massachusets where they are hosting a Girls and Computers meeting with about 20-30 educators. At the same time, my other laptop is taking the audio of the call and pushing it out live to EdTechTalk.com where people are listening live.

I also just called in to a teacher in Pittsburgh and connected her to the Concord meeting. She is talking about the computer programming world Alice which she has found appeals to a lot of the young women at the Winchester Thurston School.

Some great resources being talked about in terms of attracting girls and young women to computers, technology and programming. Podcast will hopefully be up soon at EdTechTalk/21cl.

Live from PodcampNYC

Posted by arvind s grover Sat, 07 Apr 2007 18:41:18 GMT

I am liveblogging from PodcampNYC. Jeff Lebow and Jennifer Madrell are here running the Worldbridges Broadcasting Studio (pictures on Flickr later tonight). It is great to meet them in person! I am also Twittering, so you can track me there. Oh my, so many ways to be involved. Tune in to Worldbridges to listen to the stream (Jeff just interviewed the Podcast Pickle! Wait till you see those pics). If you don’t have access to a computer but want to join in, call in to 1-712-451-6100, pin code 999374#.

Podcamp by the way is an unconference. No big name speakers, if you want to run a workshop, you just run one. Amazing!
