About Me
I admit to being a bit of a technology and information science geek. This is what can happen when you spend 5 years in film school....you find work in academic IT. I was a district technology manager in a suburban NJ K-12 school district, where in my spare time I taught TV production to HS students (in a working TV studio). I have spent the last 15 years in higher education. Having worked at all levels of education with an undergradute degree in film and communicatiions -and a technological curiosity- finally lead me to pursuiung a master's in library and information science through the UIUC Grad School of LIS and their distance learning option, LEEP. This experience changed my expectations about the possibilities for and relationship between content, technology and teaching. Just think about how collaborative learning, electronic publications, digital libraries, distance education, digital rights, and the ability for wireless access of information will change the ways in which future generations will get and use information. How will this transform society, business, and education? Can social, business and such networks lead us to discover new ways to manage knowledge?

    Thanks for joining Video in the Classroom group. I went to film school too but left NYU after freshmen year. Now I make films with first graders.

    Arnie: My school's website is: http://kanu.kalo.org
    Our school is part of www.mondialogo.org
    We are partnered with a school from Saudi Arabia. We are going to use ideas here on Classroom 2.0 to develop a collaborative video project that combines Hawaiian and Arabian dance and song to express each other's cultures ideas about sustainability.

    Arnie: Manoa is a beautiful spot. I taught at a private girls Catholic girls school (St. Francis) for two years before moving to the Big Island. Oh by the way, don't call it the Big Island. That's culturally inappropriate. The Big Island is Hawaii island. Manoa is located on Oahu. Looking forward to bouncing more ideas off of you regarding how we can pull our video project off.
