Podcast Script Assignment

Our assignment was to write a short podcast script for an interview with Dr. Wagner. The script should pose questions and supposed answers based on her presentation and slides. I'm not clear on this because when I left class I thought it was something we were supposed to bring to class but then Ethan's email said to put it on our blogs. So... While I am feeling a certain lameness, here it is... One minute or less, right?

ALEX:
Dr. Wagner, you said that instructional designers should design using today’s technologies, rather than design using those of tomorrow. Could you please elaborate on this?

DR. WAGNER:
Yes. You want to design with the available tools because it can be sustained. It’s affordable (from the school or company’s perspective) has enough users. It's also predictable, and therefore more easily accepted. We need to focus on sustainable innovation.

If you look at the Gartner Hype Cycle and the Innovation Adoption Curve, you’ll see that they intersect in the Trough of Dissolutionment area. After that, adoption rises to become mainstream and Hype Cycle moves into the Slope of Enlightment toward the Plateau of Productivity.
