Another issue. Jenna McWilliams has suggested that *very* short videos on specific problems or ideas or issues, I mean 1 to 5 minutes, make very useful objects for class or group discussion, and perhaps we ought to concentrate more energies on collecting material like this.
So! Anyone who would like to record a short interview or talk, upper limit 5 minutes, is welcome to contact me via Skype, with their webcam at the ready, and we can get busy. Not just me, others can do it too. Jenna? Almost every post on xmca offers an opportunity for such items. The big advantage of the 2 minute video over the 200 word essay is that a video can be shared in a real and immediate way, in a way that written text cannot. That's over and above all the secondary channels of communication that video talks offer.
Any takers? Andy Peter Smagorinsky wrote:
http://vimeo.com/groups/39473/videos/14850621Hi, Andy Blunden has made available a video of a talk given by Gita Vygotsky (LSV's daughter) at UGA about a decade ago; the video came from a VHS tape provided by Marty Carr and JoBeth Allen, was converted to digital form by OIT, transferred via ftp through a website, and converted to a viewable format by Andy. This is part of a growing collection of interviews, etc. about Vygotskian research that Andy and others are making available on the web, including both archival material such as this talk and newly conducted interviews with current researchers from diverse continents. Andy can do the interviews from Australia via skype and record and edit them for public viewing. What a world!
