Multimedia Interview Assignment




“For a bunch of hairless apes, we've actually managed to invent some pretty incredible things.” ― Ernest Cline, Ready Player One



How can technology help building a community in the libraries? Professor Dan Ireton from Hale Library in K-State tells us about the ARG project “Ready Player One” (2013)




Thanks to Dan Ireton who is not only an amazing librarian, game advocate and worthy opponent, but also a great husband. I can vouch for that.

    Else, I love the ARG project that Dan is discussing. Very engaging and likely complicated to develop, but so much fun! I appreciated the additional information you cut into the interview. There were a few I couldn't catch fast enough, but working within the 10 minutes, I can understand why they had to be such short clips. Love the solution of making the technology challenges experienced just a part of the game.

    Elsa,

    You did a wonderful job with your podcast. I had to do a phone interview, so I did not get to do the video thing and I know realize that mine is somewhat lacking compared to yours. The design was good and the cut-aways that you used to provide supplemental information was perfect to help understand what the professor was talking about. I also have to say that this ARG is a pretty cool idea. I had not heard of it prior to this. I think that it is a really novel idea. I have read the book that he is talking about and thought that the main idea of the book was a neat idea. I had no idea that KSU found a way to make that and use it to help students.

Podcasting: Pros and cons of integrating podcasting in Adult Education

"WE ARE MASTERS OF THE UNSAID WORDS, BUT SLAVES OF THOSE WE LET SLIP OUT." - WINSTON CHURCHILL  What is podcasting? Podcasting is one of the most exciting and wonderfully disruptive technologies to emerge in recent history. Anybody can get involved, express themselves, exchange ideas. Podcasting is disruptive because it breaks all the rules, and puts the power to communicate into the hands of individuals. The price of admission is some basic audio/visual recording equipment and a desire to communicate (Geoghegan and Klass, p. 2).   ESL programs can put the “third space pedagogy” into action when integrating podcasting in the curriculum.  Gutiérrez et al. (1999) defined third space pedagogy as "a classroom community of difference that uses multiple mediating tools and makes use of all the spatial, cultural and linguistic resources of its participants" (p. 287).   In an ESL classroom, where the Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing skills are integrated i...
