David Dickens has a conversation with Dave Cormier, the 2012 CALI Conference for Law School Computing Thursday plenary speaker. Download here

Dave’s day job is the Manager of Web Communications and Innovations at the University of Prince Edward Island.  He is also well know as prime mover in the EdTechTalk community (http://www.edtechtalk.com/) and has been involved in such for quite a few years.  I find it hard to describe Dave in just a few sentences, though I have read, listened and watched his work for many years.  He is an explorer and fellow traveler in the ed tech space. He has a prolific presence and freely shares his ideas and insights in writings, videos and MOOCs.  Dave blogs at http://davecormier.com/.
