About the Show
Monday, February 21st, 2005
Welcome!

Welcome to NCQ Talk where a Nerd, a Canadian and a Quaker talk about the intersection of technology and learning. We’re very excited that you’ve taken the time to find us.

If you’re here on launch day (February 22, 2005) or anytime shortly thereafter, it probably means you were given a special invitation and belong to a world of people who teach with technology. You might be part of one of Susan’s classes. Or you might be someone we know who embraces new methods for your own professional development. That’s what this is … professional development in portable pieces that you can take on the road. We’re not “fast food” for educators; we want to make you think while we feed your mind with a few nutritious ideas. Think of us as whole grain.

NCQ Talk came about through a typical kitchen-table discussion among three friends. We used to talk like this all the time at work, but life split us up. Now when we get together, we generally share the latest tools and trends and try to figure out what that will mean for our lives as educators…or nerds. Most importantly to you as a listener, we’re the kind of people who take the tools and try them out. What you’re hearing is genuine praxis.

You’ll hear us focus on one main idea in each show. Most of the shows are 12-15 minutes long and can be downloaded and listened to on your computer, an mp3 player or an iPod. Burn us to a CD and take us in the car! But don’t let it stop there. We really want you to come back to this site and interact with us after you listen. The dialogue we create will continue to sustain and enrich us all.
