http://withgoodreasonradio.org Virginia's Only Statewide Public Radio Program Sat, 25 Sep 2010 05:01:45 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 “With Good Reason” brings you on to campus for intimate conversations with university faculty about their research in any of the disciplines. No topic is off limits for host Sarah McConnell as she explores everything from civil rights icon James Farmer’s training in debate, to the traditions of the samurai warrior, to the cultural history of Hawaiian shirts. Featured guests have included Julian Bond discussing race in America, Bruce Grayson sharing his study of near death experiences, Mike Seeger exploring American folk music, Bryan Caplan on the “myth of the rational voter,” Nikki Giovanni reading from her poetry, and Lawrence Weinstein describing–through a process called “guesstimation”–how big your feet would have to be in order to walk on water.

But Suzanne De Janasz (University of Mary Washington) says in this techno-dependent age we can use online tools to establish relationships with mentors as we build our careers.  Also: In the not too distant future cell phones will no longer be banned in schools — instead, they will be learning tools. Matt Dunleavy (Radford University) is testing new cell phone software called “augmented reality”.  He talks about the educational potential of new software that combines with GPS in cell phones to allow students to work on complex scientific problems in real places like parks and playgrounds.
