Puerto Rico Trip

By Jay Savage | March 20, 2008

I don’t usually talk about work per se here, but so much time and effort has gone into this that I want to mention it.

It’s been a busy, international week for me and my staff. As I was getting back from San Salvador, one of my technologists was heading off to Puerto Rico to accompany one of our biology classes on a field trip to study tropical ecology. Trying to wrap up the details from a continent away was a bit of a logistical challenge, especially since equipment problems and arcane airline regulations (who knew you needed media credentials to travel with more than 100 lbs. of A/V equipment?) caused some last-minute panic; I really don’t know how we functioned before Skype. In the end, though, we got everything and everyone we needed down there in working order.

The goal was to do daily video podcasts starting last Sunday, but a hectic production schedule and unreliable network have meant we didn’t get the first episode up until today. It’s up now though, and the rest should be following soon, so you can follow the adventure at home at http://itac.edublogs.org/category/podcast/tropical_ecology/.
