Comments on: Basketball without Borders Slam Dunk: Networked Learning Class Update and Video http://beyond-school.org/2008/03/25/basketball-without-borders-slam-dunk-networked-learning-class-update-and-video/ . . . and beyond "schooliness" - notes of an uncensored teacher Thu, 28 Aug 2008 23:36:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Asian Basketball Blogging Project Reflection | Beyond School http://beyond-school.org/2008/03/25/basketball-without-borders-slam-dunk-networked-learning-class-update-and-video/#comment-4275 Asian Basketball Blogging Project Reflection | Beyond School Fri, 20 Jun 2008 16:30:49 +0000 http://beyond-school.org/2008/03/25/basketball-without-borders-slam-dunk-networked-learning-class-update-and-video/#comment-4275 [...] Younsuk, a sophomore, has been featured a lot on these pages over the last six months. He teamed with senior Jaeho to launch the Basketball without Borders project, which evolved into a beautifully networked series of podcasted Skype interviews with Asian college and professional basketball stars in the US and elsewhere. This project was the dark horse of the whole class, and it exploded in about month three to win the race by several lengths.  These guys astonished me with their ability to use their own personal and family networks to arrange interviews with players in Japan, Korea, and the US.  Nothing comes close, in my teaching experience, to seeing them enter the classroom so many times to say, “Mr. Burell, we have a Skype interview scheduled with [this or that player] for this class. Can we go to a quiet room?”  And then to see, at the end of the class, these successful audio producers come back in with grins wrapped so infectiously around their heads. (I videotaped them for Youtube in one such moment on this post.) [...] [...] Younsuk, a sophomore, has been featured a lot on these pages over the last six months.

Nice to see students so excited about their work. On a persona bias I am saddened that the enthusiasm is not about ice hockey. How popular is hockey in Korea? <em>Charlie A.

I appreciate their frustration and accomplishments. I also wanted to know if the student on the right in the video is actually wearing a CLEVELAND Cavaliers hoody. LeBron is king!
