David, I have made more videos of myself, but I stopped editing and uploading them because they were distracting me from my goal. The purpose of the video was to create a more friendly online environment; a catalogue of answers to student questions. I am in the process of developing online education that revolves around student interest. I am using varied forms of media to present skills to students that they will then apply. I am currently working with the state of Kentucky to develop the course. I am currently using the course with students and they seem to like it, when the product is completed Erika Larson and I will present it to the group and get ideas about how/where to push it further. So, the short and skinny is no, I am not producing more online videos at the moment. -----Original Message----- From: technology-bounces at nifl.gov [mailto:technology-bounces at nifl.gov] On Behalf Of David J.

Things I liked about it include the overall message that young adults live digitally -- and if we want to engage them we need to use the technology they are using to do it, and the collection of compelling facts. Things I didn't care for include the guilt tripping and distracting music. I understand that the Philadelphia YouthBuild Charter School has done a lot with integrating technology with urban youth (who left regular public schools before graduating). Also, the MATCH Charter School in Boston is built on integrating technology. These are both publicly- funded schools. Barry, have you made any more videos yourself? If so, please send us the URLs.
