Introducing The Pod Book Club

The other day as I was faffing about in cyberspace looking for some stuff on tech integration frameworks, I came across a podcast by Dr Ruben Puentedura (@rubenrp) and tweeted about it. That was seen by
Darren Kuropatwa (@dkuropatwa) in Canada, an awesomely smart Canadian educator who has a very funny accent and keeps caribou in his backyard, and he recommended another series of podcasts by Dr Ruben about Gaming. This is an interest of mine so I went and found them straight away. Darren then tweeted:

and I said

screen-shot-2011-10-26-at-104735-amWe decided on a hashtag and so now I present to you the #podbkclub. You are more than welcome to join us. Here is what it is:

We are going to ‘book club’ podcast series. We’re starting with Ruben Puentedura’s ‘Game and Learn’ series which has 14 episodes. We’ll listen to one per week and then on Friday/Saturday (cause when it’s Friday in Canada it’s Saturday here when any reasonable hour is concerned) we will post a reflection in whatever form we like wherever we like on the web and tag it with the #podbkclub hashtag. So reflections could be:

  • a written blog post or series of tweets
  • an audio blog post
  • an image
  • a video
  • a drawing
  • a combination of any or all of the above using any tool you like – the only limit is your imagination.

Only rule is that it had to be easy to find, which is where the #podbkclub tag comes in. Whatever you post wherever you post it, please tag it with ‘podbkclub’ then tweet it including the #podbkclub hashtag. Make sense? Easy!

We will try to set up a #podbkclub chat on Twitter. See how we go – stay tuned for info on that!

This Fri/Sat (Oct 28/29) is when we kick off with our first reflective post on Episode 1 of the series. Look out for us and come join in!
