Producers of Edcast:
[...] Edcast Episode 1: Understanding Digital Kids Part 1 Simon had the great idea of approaching Ian Jukes to see if he could record his recent presentation in Napier. Ian kindly gave us permission to do so. This episode is about 1 hour 28 minutes long. [...]

I love it that you are launching this yourselves and not waiting for a “recognised member of the digerti” to authorise the initiative. Go well.
I think this is wonderful! I’m sitting here getting ready for graduation and looking in awe at the questions you are asking.
And I agree with Artichoke, whoever the “digerati” are — anyone who wishes may decide to embark on the future. We sit on the cusp of amazing change that at any moment may come from anywhere. This is not a place of static contributions but a very dynamic exciting place where leaders may emerge like a firestorm at any moment. It will only accelerate!
Kudos to you!
