1 Year Anniversary Special

[00:00:00] Jason: Would you happen to have a pen I could borrow? Yeah.

[00:00:02] John: Felt blue, black.

[00:00:04] Jason: That is amazing. I've just this moment, I just noticed your incredible, your - you've got like a pen store.

[00:00:10] John: These are makeup brush holders.

[00:00:12] Jason: Oh really? Okay. Black, please.

[00:00:15] John: ballpoint, flare

[00:00:17] Jason: pen, Flare. Perfect.

[00:00:19] John: yeah

[00:00:19] Jason: And would you happen to have any sticky notes? That's incredible. You are really set up here. That is something else.

[00:00:24] John: I dream that someone, no one visits me. I'm set up for a full-on brainstorming session with a gigantic. Five feet by three-foot whiteboard and 500 colored sticky notes.

[00:00:34] Jason: Sticky notes galore.

[00:00:35] John: Yeah, I'm ready to change things if anybody wants to come over.

[00:00:38] John: I'm John Nash here in the same room with Jason Johnston.

[00:00:43] Jason: Hey John, hey everyone, and this is Online Learning in the Second Half, the Online Learning Podcast.

[00:00:48] John: Yeah, we're doing this podcast to let you in on a conversation we've been having for the last couple of years about online education. Look, online learning's had its chance to be great, and some of it is, but there's still a lot that quite isn't there. How are we going to get to the next stage, Jason?

[00:01:02] Jason: How about we create a podcast and talk about it?

[00:01:06] John: How about we do that? How about we create a podcast, do it for a year, and then talk about what that year was like?

[00:01:11] Jason: that sounds great! Happy anniversary, John!

[00:01:13] John: Happy anniversary, Jason.

[00:01:15] Jason: I should have brought you something.

I didn't. I'm sorry. How about we go out to lunch and we and we celebrate?

[00:01:20] John: yeah, and maybe we can get a demo of the Apple Vision.

[00:01:23] Jason: Oh, that'd be cool. Yeah. There's a little place right there where we can grab some lunch and maybe go over to the Apple store. See what's going on.

[00:01:30] John: Yeah,

[00:01:31] Jason: That would be thematic. A lot of this podcast has been a number of things. One, talking about online learning, but also talking about the new tech and how it might affect online learning in the last year.

[00:01:41] John: Yeah. We are EdTech nerds also.

[00:01:43] Jason: We are, we tend to nerd out on a few of these things.

Today on my way over here, because I had to drive to this podcast today.

I didn't do this podcast in my pajamas.

[00:01:54] John: Horrors. And you drove yourself.

You had to operate a machine to get here.

[00:01:59] Jason: But it gave me, afforded me a little bit of time in the car to listen to a podcast. I listened to our first episode. It was kind of nostalgic,

[00:02:06] John: you weren't tuning in to our first episode just out of some kind of vanity thing Oh, I love listening to me.

[00:02:12] Jason: No, it was not because I like the sound of my own voice. Although after doing a p
