\"leading<\/a>by derek bruff, cft director<\/p>\n

i\u2019m very happy to announce the launch of leading lines<\/a>, a podcast on educational technology produced here at 瑞士vs喀麦隆走地.\u00a0 our first episode features an interview with george siemens, executive director of the learning innovation and networked knowledge (link) research lab at the university of texas at arlington, who provides a \u201cbig picture\u201d look at edtech, as well some very practical thoughts on social knowledge production and learning analytics.\u00a0 to listen to the podcast, you can visit the leading lines website<\/a>, search for \u201cleading lines\u201d in itunes, or subscribe via rss<\/a>.\u00a0 you can also follow us on twitter, @leadinglinespod<\/a>.<\/p>\n

in the podcast, we explore creative, intentional, and effective uses of technology to enhance student learning, uses that point the way to the future of educational technology in college and university settings.\u00a0 through interviews with educators, researchers, technologists, and others, we hope to amplify ideas and voices that are (or should be!) shaping how we think about digital learning and digital pedagogy.<\/p>\n

in my work at the 2022年世界杯中国小组赛积分, i regularly get the chance to talk with educators at vanderbilt and elsewhere using technology in innovative ways to foster student learning.\u00a0 for several years, i\u2019ve had the thought of producing a podcast where i interview some of these educators, sharing their perspectives and ideas with a wider audience.\u00a0 i never seemed to find the time to follow up on this thought, however.<\/p>\n

last fall, i was working with colleagues at the cft, the vanderbilt institute for digital learning, and the vanderbilt library on a joint presentation about edtech resources for vanderbilt faculty.\u00a0 during one of our meetings, associate provost for digital learning john sloop mentioned that he was interested in producing an edtech podcast, and i couldn\u2019t help sharing my own ideas for such a podcast.\u00a0 almost immediately, the group started brainstorming for a joint production, a podcast that would leverage our various units\u2019 resources, perspectives, and connections.<\/p>\n

this spring, the group got to work, meeting regularly to determine the mission and format of the podcast (those were particularly lively meetings!), identify interview subjects both at vanderbilt and beyond, and figure out the technical ingredients necessary to create a podcast in 2016.\u00a0 where i had been daunted by the idea of producing an edtech podcast by myself, once it became a team effort, the ball got rolling and, frankly, i started having a lot of fun.<\/p>\n

speaking of the team, here are my podcasting colleagues at vanderbilt:<\/p>\n
