In this week’s 4MR podcast I talk about MediaShift’s Beyond J-School series so far, including the stories on teaching social media, the 5Across roundtable and Jen Lee Reeves’ take on getting j-students over their fear of technology. I talked with Reeves more about how she is asking her students this semester to pay $36 each for Lynda.com courses on learning the basics of Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash. Reeves talked candidly about her students and their fears of failing with technology.
