'find out your most passionate teacher, go take their class, it doesn't matter what they teach' resonated for me.

PS Hi Heidi, you lovable lurker!
Rich,
Thanks a lot for the link. Didn't know about this podcast, for some reason, and many of the interviews sound fascinating.
As for the "passionate teacher" advice, goes well with the fact that passion for teaching often ranks highest in criteria students use to evaluate teachers.

Perhaps passionate people prefer the company of passionate people. Does any of this lead to actual learning, and if it does, how would we know?
The Headfirst Java books are the best selling Java books, but do they actually contribute to improving programming or do they just make people who want to learn Java feel better about it?

Thanks Richard for the great link. Am going through the podcast as we speak. Some good stuff here.
As in all these EdTechLive podcasts. Went through several of these while attending a teaching conference, here in Montreal. Good stuff indeed!
Martin's interview really put Moodle into perspective, for me. And the Free/Libre or Open Source issues are dealt with in a thoughtful manner.
I just wish there were more talk about broader issues touching pedagogy and technology. Kind of like going beyond "educational technology" and more into the cultural, social, and psychological issues connecting tools with learning methods.
Still, a nice series of interviews. Quite inspiring.
