[xmca] Michael Cole on mediation, CHAT, & the blind man and the stick

[Jenna McWilliams <jenmcwil@umail.iu.edu>]

Hello,
Today, Mike Cole was generous enough to talk with a group of Learning  
Sciences graduate students at Indiana University about mediation,  
learning, and the reasons for working with learning theories.

I recorded the conversation, which was conducted via Skype, and have  
posted it to the Vimeo page for the Learning Sciences Graduate Student  
Association (http://vimeo.com/lsgsa). The picture is not great, but  
the conversation more than compensates.

Link to a short clip of Mike Cole talking about the blind man and the  
stick here: http://vimeo.com/15651704

You can maybe imagine what a thrill it was for us to have the chance  
to talk to Mike. At the end of the conversation, he encouraged us all  
to join XMCA and post questions to the experts on the list. So: when  
the whippersnappers invade, you'll know who's to blame.

Thanks, Mike!
