One way to become “crazy good at the internet” is to hang out with folks who live and breathe the web and all things digital. For the past few years, I have been fortunate enough to hang out with and share many conversations with one of my favorite “geeks,” Patrick Berry. Patrick, a Library Technology Lead at Chico State, is a master at explaining complex techno-babel to educators who are interested in the use of digital tools and platforms. Recently, Patrick and I realized that our conversations–about iPads, MOOCS, gaming, libraries, Learning Management Systems, and other things that are “plugged-in”–might benefit other educators who are interested in the intersection between education and the digital world. With this in mind, we took a logical next step: we created a weekly podcast, “Back to School,” where we share our questions and curiositites related to teaching, learning, and being a “plugged-in” educator.
