\"Wanted!
Wanted! Fred D'Ignazio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of my earliest heroes in educational computing was Fred D’Ignazio. I began reading Fred’s columns in Compute Magazine<\/a> (index here<\/a>) and other publications back in the early 1980s.<\/p>\n

Fred D’Ignazio is the Father of Educational Multimedia. In addition to his countless books, articles and flamboyant conference presentations, Fred pioneered multimedia authoring by students before HyperCard, CD-ROMs, MP3, iMovie, digital cameras, the World Wide Web, blogs, wikis, podcasts and School 2.0. Fred D’Ignazio was teaching teachers and children to mash-up media while Lawrence Lessig was still in law school and he did so with scavenged equipment and Radio Shack parts.<\/p>\n

When you hear other speakers say that teachers are paper-trained, you might wave this fifteen year-old article<\/a> in front of them. Fred D’Ignazio coined that term too!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

During the 1990s, Fred and I got the opportunity to work together on a number of occasions, including a multi-day institute I organized in Australia. Fred was a fixture on the educational computing conference circuit through the early 21st Century and then disappeared. His website is no longer available and his legacy evaporates a bit more with each passing day.<\/p>\n

In an age when you can Google anything and anyone, I’ve lost track of my friend Fred. I hope he is well.<\/p>\n

If you have any information about Fred, please let me know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
