“Fishing with Tom”
In our first episode we were ever so lucky to catch up with Dixie’s most impressive edtech survivalist Tom “Catfish” Woodward. We tunneled all the way down to the swamps of Slocum, Alabama to find him, and we were duly rewarded with some invaluable gems about trotlining RSS to feed the entire family fresh knowledge on a daily basis. Bon appetit!
Credits: Special thanks to Catfish for giving so freely of his limited time and unlimited genius. And once again thanks go to Serena Epstein for applying her special touch.
What happens when the river runs dry? Watcha gonna do then, Mr. Trout Man??
Watcha gonna do??
BTW, amazing work. Simply amazing.
Imagine if we actually planned something out- or maybe not. I say next time more kids and more random comments. It was a nice way to meet my new neighbors.
Now what’s the next video?
Twitter as the MRE of online content?
Blog as Swiss army/survival knife?
Maybe a homemade generator that equates power to intellectual curiosity- how to keep it running, what’s the fuel?
There’s got to be a way to make brewing moonshine into something- maybe that’s the end to a whole process resulting in refined learning.
Most fun I’ve had in a while.
Thanks,
Tom
You were brilliant, working with you is something I truly miss. And I’d film every last one of your ideas if it meant we could work together regularly. It’s not only fun as hell, but it keeps me intellectually stimulated about all these ideas. So, let’s do another one, and let’s do it quick. Hey, maybe we can even plan another programmistan-like presentation. Whatever it takes!
Which way’s the Piggly Wiggly?
Let’s see if we can figure something out for this week or at the latest this weekend. I’ve got to knock out a lesson by Monday and have a fairly major project due this coming Friday. Maybe we can figure out a way to do it via ichat- make it interview style — something like “from a bunker deep in some deep, deep woods where IT fears to tread.” Reminds me of that line from “Rocky Top”
Which makes me wonder if we don’t need a soundtrack. There are a lot of good country songs that would fit.
