Getting Started at Fredericsburg Academy

I have just started putting together the new DVD on Will Richardson's book, "Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts and Other Powerful Webtools for Classrooms." We shot at Fredericksburg Academy in Fredericksburg, VA and it was a life changing experience for me. I am beginning to plan a video podcast for my own business now after seeing the inspiring work that was being done at FA. Years ago, I served on the technology committee of our local public schools and our work consisted of getting new 486 (pre-pentium processor) computers in our computer lab which seemed important but I was not sure what it would do except keep kids current with computer technology.

Will's consulting around Web 2.0 reveals how the new technologies associated with the web can revolutionize learning. Stay tuned as this amazing project begins to come together!

  2. Eric,

    Thanks for the props! We were so thrilled to have you here and to be a part of the experience. We have wonderful students and amazing teachers and it is great to get to share that through your work. We can't wait to see how the video turns out and make sure you make me look skinnier in it!
