Another success story from Shortchange Gene. iPlodded and iPlodded till the Podcast could resist no longer. Not sure which bate worked. Well actually gave up on baiting for a Podcast and downloaded iTunes. After waiting a long time for it to load I found it was not a bad site to use. Or it was beginners luck.
Navigating down the page I came on Garrison Keillor's Lake Woebegone dialogues. I love them because he makes the town and its residents so real. Do you know why Lake Woebegone does not appear on any map? It is because the town lies exactly on the center of the state line and the line obliterates the town mark. I learned that from listening to another of Garrison's dialogues.
There is so much available in the cyber world. Will we someday not go to a physical school building? Rather we will go to the computer to link up with the class. Each student being accounted for when they link to the class. As with this class your progress can be monitored by whether and when you send in your assignments. Subject material will be handled in the same manner as this class. When group teaching becomes needed the class will conference together with the teacher. Seem far out.? So were Dick Tracy watches and sleek cars when I was a child.
Shortchange Gene has spoken......

Thanks for the tip about Garrison. I LOVE him and frequently miss the broadcast. I'm a big fan of Dusty and Lefty, since I grew up on a ranch in the West. One of the highlights of last summer's library conference was getting to see Garrison speak. What a cleaver guy!
