Squared’s takeaways include the reverse publishing bit, the lack of a revenue solution, and a celebration of the lack of .ppt in play.
Thanks to everyone who took a few minutes to talk with me yesterday. The whole putting-faces-with-names bit is really underrated. In no order (I’ll give chronological half a chance), with no hope of remembering everyone, here are a few notes to folks I met in person for the first time at the summit:
More blog posts about the summit here. Posts on the summit blog by CUNY students here.
[UPDATE: I didn’t mention Jan Schaeffer or Chuck Olsen, both of whom I’ve met briefly once before, and Squared slipped my mind for no good reason. (What happens at the lunch table stays at the lunch table?) I’ll see who else I can remember. Andy Carvin and I met in an amusing Tweet–to–handshake scenario.]
Jay Rosen was just on stage talking about NewAssignment.net (see his lessons learned post at PressThink), and one thing that comes up is training on both the Pro and the Amateur side to smooth the process of writing/editing stories and gathering/parsing data.
So how can J-School students who need to learn these new skills (this would be the Interactivity part of the trinity) pick them up in school?
A few ideas:
Does anyone have examples of student media taking these steps? (I know you do…)
And maybe more important, is this something you teach in a class, or are your students pretty much left to figure this out on their own?
Questions I have coming out of the first session:
A quick informal poll: Who handles your community site, and is it an every-single-day job or just an occasional role?
Finally in a room full of people I’ve been reading and tweeting and e-mailing and writing about and linking to and interviewing and misquoting and learning from for the last couple years.
Glad to be here.
I’ll probably be tweeting @gort581 more than liveblogging, so track me down there, or y’know, here, in person.
