Terry Freedman's Educational Technology Podcast

Contributors to Coming of Age explain what they would like the reader to gain from reading their chapter(s)

I was recently at the NECC Conference in Atlanta, GA, and had the privilege of meeting some of the contributors to Coming of Age 2.0, who kindly agreed to say a few words about what they hoped the reader will gain from reading their chapter. Hey, who am I kidding? They are all so passionate about what they do that leapt at the chance to do this! Darren wasn't at the conference, but we caught up on Skype a few hours after I'd arrived home.

There are some great nuggets of wisdom in these snippets of conversation. I have listened to this now several times, and each time I hear something I never heard before! Wow!
