Caleb has been making movies for the last few years and made a big splash with his horror short “The Other Side of the Box.” I loved it and LOVE his follow up “Play Me”. Both films display true filmmaking talent and suspensful terror. Super thrilled to sit down for a little bit and chat to this up-and-coming filmmaker about where it started, how it's going and where it's headed to.Like the show?

Dan and Kirby get right down to it: their isolation, the crushing blow all their 2020 plans took, and Kirby's first solo album, 'Happy People Make Happy Things'. Kirby talks about making a record by hitting up against his own limitations, and how years of collaborating on other people's music gave him a big crowd to choose from when it came to finishing his own.

Alternate Current Radio Presents: BOILER ROOM - Uninterruptible Talk Radio Hesher, host of Boiler Room and ACR Producer is joined by MARK ANDERSON of www.thetruthhound.com to discuss a recent article published in Foreign Affairs Magazine called The New Nationalism, which appears to include a circus of linguistic acrobatics to draw their conclusions about history, nationalism and the direction of the United States in the eyes of the proponents of one world homogenous globoculture. The conversation leads into the somewhat political and cultural underbelly of South By Southwest (SXSW) conference attendees and topics for the ongoing 2019 festival of events. Potential progressive party presidential candidates, bilderberg Mayoral attendees, Global Cities initiative updates and Mark's predictions about the new media, darling presidential hopeful from a relatively obscure rust belt town in Indiana, one Pete Buttigieg.

Op de SXSWedu conferentie - onderdeel van het SouthBySouthWest festival - bespreekt een internationale gemeenschap van leraren, schoolleiders en leveranciers in de onderwijsmarkt de toekomst van onderwijs. In deze Kennisnet podcast vertellen Sanne van de Ven en Erik Woning - beide consultants innovatie bij het Lab to Learn van IT-Workz - over de hoogtepunten van hun bezoek aan SXSWedu 2016. In deze 52 minuten durende podcast spreken Sanne en Erik met kennisnetexperts Wietse van Bruggen en Michael van Wetering over de opzet van SXSWedu en enkele memorabele keynotes zoals omgaan met verschillen tussen leerlingen en het zelfstandig verkennen van toekomstscenario’s en hoe daarin je eigen kracht en talent een plek kunnen krijgen. Omgaan met verschillen en dynamiek Temple Grandin - autist en hoogleraar aan de Colorado State University - vertelt in haar opening keynote van SXSWedu over het omgaan met verschillen tussen leerlingen, puttend uit haar eigen ervaringen en moeizame start in het onderwijs. Een pleidooi voor het prikkelen van nieuwsgierigheid. Jane McGonigal - game designer en futurist bij ‘The Institute for the Future’ - legt in haar keynote toe hoe je zelf in enkele eenvoudige stappen scenario’s kunt ontwikkelen van de toekomst. Sanne legt uit dat Jane's advies daarbij is om trends te verzamelen en te combineren en daarvan scenario’s te ontwikkelen door je persoonlijke kracht en talent eraan toe te voegen. Zo geeft Jane een voorbeeld waarbij Virtual Reality gecombineerd wordt met 3D-geprint voedsel waarbij de unieke structuur van het eten en de VR ervaring een geheel andere beleving van gezond en verantwoord voedsel geeft. Ondernemerschap, maker en de startup competitie edu launch Het stimuleren van ondernemerschap in onderwijs is een belangrijk thema op de conferentie. Leerlingen met een ondernemende houding blijken de beste resultaten te boeken. Maker education krijgt ook op SXSWedu veel aandacht, met een duidelijke koppeling met 21st century skills en digitale geletterdheid. De rode draad in het programma is personalisatie en de toepassing van Design Thinking. Todd Rose - auteur van ‘The End of Average’ - benadrukt dat vooral een verandering van mindset nodig is om onderwijs meer te baseren op individuele behoeften van leerlingen. Erik vestigt tot slot de aandacht op edu launch, een competitie tussen innovatieve startups in het onderwijs die elk hun tool of app presenteren aan een professionele jury. De winnaar van 2016 is de app ‘Elsa Speak’ die niet-native sprekers helpt om hun uitspraak van bijvoorbeeld engels te verbeteren.
