Not to sound like a complete nerd, but the force is with Jim Daly, literally. Daly, one of the speakers at Mediabistro Circus, is editor-in-chief of Edutopia, the core of The George Lucas Educational Foundation. Yes, that George Lucas. Cue lightsaber sound effect.
Edutopia is dedicated to promoting innovation in K-12 education. They publish a variety of media in the pursuit of this cause,
including online video, books, and a magazine.
Magazines, specifically digital ones, will be the focus of
Jim's visit to Mediabistro Circus. He'll be talking about the transition from print to digital format. Edutopia magazine, as one might guess, is offered in digital format as well as paper (coincidentally, the digital version is powered by nxtbook media, one of the sponsors for Mediabistro Circus).
Additionally, Daly will also be part of a pre-conference web
cast, "Paper to Pixels" on March 20th. We'll do our best at that time to extract any Indiana Jones spoilers he may have overheard around the water cooler in San Francisco.
