"On The Street" Interviews

During the Symposium, we had a crew go around and interview people in an "on the street" style. The results really give you a feel for what it is like to attend the Symposium. The crew made 26 of these interviews throughout the day with a hand-held recorder.

The first "on the street" interview of the day was done with our keynote speaker, Lawrence Lessig. It's attached to this note. All of the rest of the interviews are being posted now and include a lot of insightful commentary about topics like reactions to the keynote presentation, students' use of new media, social networks, open education, stickers, and the feel of the Symposium. This stuff is gold.
