Speaking of….
Sometimes we bloggers here at Flypaper have something to say and we literally want to say it, not write it. So today we introduce "Speaking of…," our new, occasional vlog (video blog) series in which we spend a minute or two opining on recent education news and issues. In this first video, Mike Petrilli talks about Education Secretary Arne Duncan’s school turnaround plan. What do you think of "Speaking of…"? Let us know by leaving a comment below.

It seems like a waste of video and audio technology to just have Mike vocalize what was already written on Flypaper. I actually liked reading it more than seeing it and hearing it. On the other hand, this “21st century” version should go over well with the younger generation who don’t, or can’t, read.

You know what?
I like it!
Didn’t think I would, but I do!

I dunno if it’s VIMEO or AOL but I couldn’t get it to load and run so I was unable to watch it. I wonder how many others are encountering the same problem.

Worked for me on the west coast… Firefox 3.0.x browser. AOL? AOL?? Can someone please move Checker to another provider?
Now, if only the browser had some ability to calm Mike down just a tiny bit.
He was quite good, actually. As long as it doesn’ happen too often…

Thanks for your comments, everyone!
Ze’ev, we’ll pass your suggestion along to Checker.
