LdL has recently attracted attention again. Yesterday, Christian Spannagel gave an internet-mediated talk on wikis, weblogs and Twitter at the GAL conference (German association of applied linguists). LdL was a central element in his talk. Here is the recording: http://tinyurl.com/gal09recording
Already some weeks ago, Jean-Pol Martin was visited by a journalist from the renowned magazine GEO Wissen. (Two weeks ago, a few of us LdLians were photographed for this article which is to come out in the November issue).
Last Saturday, Jean-Pol Martin and I were invited to give the two keynote speeches on LdL at a conference that Christian Spannagel and his team had organized. Materials, reports and videos (including my own speech) are available on Christian Spannagel’s LdL site.
In addition, Lutz Berger has published a teaser for my speech on YouTube:
Last week, Christian Spannagel, Professor for Teaching Computer Science at the College of Education (Pädagogische Hochschule) in Ludwigsburg, and some of his students as well as Lutz Berger, an expert in shooting “edutaining” documentaries, visited Jean-Pol Martin’s class in Eichstätt. I also showed up and it is always enjoying to see how well Martin manages to communicate with his teenagers in such a casual and yet supportive and empathetic style.
Christian Spannagel has already written of the impressions of his visit on his blog. Lutz Berger will produce a video of that visit.
