So, there I was, entertaining a delightful little 5th grader with my shiny new MacbookPro. Or better said, she was demonstrating the wonders of Garage Band for me...an app that I must admit has gone completely ignored for the entire 4 months that I have owned this box.
In any event, there we were...watching her deftly drag and drop various musical instrument bits into a template...when she said "This will be a cool song to add to my podcast". Huh? A podcast? Well, yeah, as part of her normal curriculum this young lady (and her classmates) has an assignment in which she is to record a podcast, edit with music bookends, and post it to their intranet. By the way, this is in a public school in a not especially affluent or trendy town. How cool is that?
Now I have to ask myself, if 5th graders are cranking out and posting podcasts, why am I lagging so far behind in getting an occasional marketing technology expert's interview posted? Maybe Lilah can get on that task for me, eh?
