Quick Video Share: Quality Multimedia Takes Years to Master
Just saw this on Crooks and Liars, and think it’s worth sharing to teachers and students alike. Ira Glass, radio host of This American Life on (the USA’s) National Public Radio, shares how expectations - our own, and others’ - shouldn’t be too high for our media creations, because “it takes years” to bridge the gap between our “tastes” and our attempts to attain them in our media productions.
To teachers, this says, “Don’t grade blogging, podcasting, and other things too harshly.” To students it says, “Whether you like it or not, it’s good to hold you to a required production schedule that forces you to regularly create - that’s the only way you’ll get better.” (Reminds me of the old saying, “Don’t wait for Inspiration. She’s a lazy b*tch that has to be chased down.”)
Here’s the clip:
