Well, I went ahead and did it. I purchased the domain name paradigmshiftpodcast.org to move this site to in the very near future. Paradigm Shift will be the new name of the show because I've become aware of a site that proclaims to own the name Teachnology. The one time I think I've got an original thought and ker-BLOOOEY! :-)
In fact, they even sent a cease and desist letter to Dan Mitchell of Dan Mitchell's Teachnology Blog. In response, he has neither ceased nor desisted. Good for him. He used the name first, I believe.
However, for me and where I'm at, I believe I need to change names for two reasons. Most important, I think it's crucial to set a good example for my students and fellow teachers in terms of copyright law. Secondly, I want to host a show that is original in content but also in how it's identified. Clearly, Dan Mitchell used the name long before I did, so in deference and respect to him as well as the copyrighted site, we'll switch it up.
To make the switch as seamless as possible for our listeners, we'll do a couple shows under both names as we get everything moved over to our server space at PodLot.com . It's important to note that you won't need to change the feed you've entered into your media aggregator to continue to listen to the podcast.
It's past time to get another show out! I plan on getting it out on Friday. We're going to talk about some of the great ideas, thoughts, and examples for using podcasting instructionally that educators have posted at the On The Cutting Edge-ucation site.
So, please join us as we begin our own Paradigm Shift...
