Back in June, I got to meet Karl Fisch and hear what he’s up to. I mentioned that folks might want to pay attention. I knew good stuff was coming.
I told you so. (Sorry — couldn’t resist. Not like anyone doubted me. I just like being right.)
If you haven’t yet seen "Did You Know?," it’s time. I was totally and completely blown away. I’m probably going to show it to my journalism students tomorrow.
And that’s just his "back to school" icebreaker. Man, I wish I lived/worked a little bit further south.
What’s next, Karl?

I wished you lived and worked a little bit further south as well. Hey, we have an IB high school in our district that I bet your wife would love to teach at, and if I couldn’t talk you into teaching at Arapahoe we also have an alternative high school. Then again, I would love to be living in Fort Collins (we lived there for a year when we first moved to Colorado, but then got hired down here).
What’s next? Gee, I don’t know, staff development every 2 to 3 weeks for 49 teachers? Trying to figure out how to find time to read and comment on all their personal blogs – plus keep up with their class blogs? Trying to work the kinks out of our new wireless network? Finding out why some of our students’ folders on the server disappeared over the summer? And, oh yeah, my principal thinks he wants me to show that presentation in the gym at Back To School Night next Wednesday – to 1200 or so of my closest friends. I think what’s next might be a nervous breakdown . . .
Let me know what your journalism students think of it. The darn presentation has taken on a life of its own. And I have noticed that you like to be right – good thing you usually are.
I have heard all of the stats that Karl quotes but not in such a compelling/moving way. Well done Karl and thank you Bud for point it out.
