About the Class

OK, he isn't known as "The Magnificent" but he is pretty cool, once you get to know him ;-)
George (Court Jester Emeritus at WiZiQ) will be conducting an open interview to help all of us understand Ben a little better. He is a teacher of teachers and brings an import point-of-view to our online community. We will be asking general questions about his life experiences and life outside of WiZiQ and some questions about his hopes with the WiZiQ platform and community. Please have some of your own questions ready to paste into the chat box during the interview.
We will also ask him about this Moodle thing he is offering to all. Here is his very short prospectus for the upcoming Moodle Thingy:

Profile Summary

We do not need "them", we only need each other.

This group of pilgrims called "The Edupunk" are seeking a new paradigm for online learning. We hold to several core principals:
1. All can teach, all should teach
2. Mistakes and willing to risk mistakes are much prefered over the false goal of perfection.
3. Fun activities and gaming are not only more engaging, they are the key to a sustainable model for learning... anything.
4. Live interaction and group activities create the basis for deep and experiential learning.
5. Accountability and competition is the basis of our community. We build and only associate with leaders who can recognize that they and every member have knowledge to share.
