Join us for a Wicked Decent Listener Call In Show... Tell us what excites you about the upcoming school year.

2009-07-23T22:15:00.005-04:00

We're scheduling another Wicked Decent Listener show via Skype on Tuesday, July 28th at 8:00PM Eastern Standard Time. If you'd like to join us, all you have to do is...

1. Add "Wicked Decent Learning" as a contact on Skype (don't have Skype, it's free and easy to install on Mac or PC).

2. Log on to Skype between 7:30 PM EST and 8:00 PM on July 28th. Make sure you have a working microphone, headphones, and that you know how to mute yourself (this will cut down on the noise interference).

Our topic will be "what excites you about your upcoming school year". If you want to chime in, we'll come up with a batting order to make it simple and orderly (imagine that, order at WDL).

The only disclaimer here is that if you are joining us we have the right to use your voice on the show (kind of a no-brainer, but important to say anyhow).

If you know you'll be joining us, send an email to wickeddecentlearning@gmail.com to let us know how many people to expect. It's not required, but it would really help.

Hope to see you then!

-Jeff WDL

I have opened up a possibility for some more listener interaction on the show. Aside from trying to figure out the random recording schedule that we here at WDL keep, you can now have your voice on the show in one of two ways.

Do you want to tell us what the show is NOT? (You know like Dan does in his humorous and witty way for each episode). Just dial 1.888.887.3127 (in the US.) channel code 28969, and password 207. Leave us a recording and if we like it, we'll use it on the next episode. (Don't forget to leave your name if you'd like that included).

Wicked Decent Winter Call in...

2008-12-14T19:17:00.005-05:00

We've been hankerin for another listener participation show ever since the last one (although we've worked out some sound problems from last time so the quality will be better).

We're scheduling another Wicked Decent Listener show via Skype on Monday, December 29th at 8:00PM Eastern Standard Time. If you'd like to join us, all you have to do is...

1. Add "Wicked Decent Learning" as a contact on Skype (don't have Skype, it's free and easy to install on Mac or PC).

2. Log on to Skype between 7:30 PM EST and 8:00 PM on December 29th. Make sure you have a working microphone and that you know how to mute yourself (this will cut down on the noise interference). We'll come up with a topic and if you want to chime in, we'll come up with a batting order to make it simple and orderly (imagine that, order at WDL).

The only disclaimer here is that if you are joining us we have the right to use your voice on the show (kind of a no brainer, but important to say anyhow).

If you know you'll be joining us, send an email to wickeddecentlearning@gmail.com to let us know how many people to expect. Also, if you have a topic of interest to share, let us know there as well.

Hope to see you then, it's a great time to trade fruitcake recipes!

And the nominees are....

2008-11-15T08:50:00.005-05:00

Recently I became more aware of the "Eddy" awards. These are awards given out for educational blogging each year and nominations are open to anyone who has their own blog. I had sort of heard of it in prior years but this year I had planned to nominate some of my favorite educational bloggers. Someone beat me to the punch. Richard Byrne of FreeTech4Teachers blog nominated Wicked Decent Learning for "Best Educational Use of Audio". Thank you Richard for your nomination. We never expected a positive superlative adjective to be thrown our way (sorry English teacher talk).

We'd like to nominate some people we think deserve some recognition in the field of educational blogging. If you'd like to nominate someone yourself, go to the nomination page here.

Best Resource Sharing Blog: FreeTech4Teachers blog by Richard Byrne (and not because he nominated us). All it takes is one look at this blog and you can instantly see the value in subscribing. Lots "use this on Monday" ideas and Richard consistently ties resources back to educational application with explanations, ideas and examples to current uses. This is the place to be..... go there..... now...... I mean it, why are you even reading further.

Best Educational Wiki: Learning in Maine Resources. This site was started by Jim Burke and has an incredible set of resources contributed by multiple people. It's up to date and he's very open to contributions. I doubt there is a topic, educational buzz word, or subject not respresented in some way. Don't just read, contribute and help grow this amazing resource.

Best Educational Use of a Social Networking Service: Ernie Easter's Maine Holocaust Ning. If you teach the Holocaust or want to see what you can do to join the "Never Again" commitment, this is the place to be. Ernie has 50+ members contributing resources, video, and reviews of content for this important cause.

Best Educational Use of Audio: Dave Solon's TwentyMinutes4Tech podcast. Dave is a PA tech education guy with a simple concept. You can influence and inspire educators about the power of technology in twenty minutes. He has landed some great interviews with not just people in the field of technology, but with people like Daniel Pink who have challenged the thinking of many teachers, schools and students. We chatted with Dave here back in Episode 24.

Thanks to these fine folks for all that they do.
