Episode 23 Podcast Notes

Shout-Outs

• Muchas gracias to our friend, Marco for our new intro bumper–what do you think??
• Phyllis in Virgina for another contribution to the mic fund!
• Craig for recommending us and being another ADE class of 07 and correcting our pronunciation of Sacajawea (we think we still need an audio recording rom him!)
• Cybercompliments–thank you, Silvia and Frank!
• Thanks to Eric, who was gracious enough to let us interview him via Skype. This was the first time we recorded via Skype, and although we thought we had it, the final recording needs some work. So, stay tuned for episode 24 to hear his interview.

Let’s make it a Good Friday for the blogging world : Thoughts From A Technospud

What a positive way to make a stand against cyberbullying and let those who inspire you know that you appreciate their efforts! I’ve posted some of mine and challenge you to do as well! Blogging is so much more than an arena for bullies–that small percentage takes away from all the awesome learning and collaboration that really does take place. We could never “cybercompliment” every person we’ve learned from–but we’d like to say thank you and “you ROCK!
