I came across a cool vodcast that led me to this site: http://www.mindbites.com/

Here's the argument for using it as a teacher (really cool!):

It might not fit every discipline and content but it turns education on its head a bit. Kids do like to veg out after school...why not watch a lecture then instead of a TV show? The video is about 21 mins. and worth every one.

This could be cool resource - check it out. http://www.mindbites.com/
I picked up The Portable MLIS from Bird earlier this week with the intent to dig into it today. As I study the cover I notice it was edited by Ken Haycock - small world. It just so happens that last month I exchanged emails with him as I collected data for Dr. Small. Now that's cool!
