DJTechTools - Online DJ School

[tekki]

Well, let us know if you'd like to have it done in Europe too. We might talk global bootcamp on this one.

I do have some experience in training, even though this was for administrating our websites.

I am very open to the online school concept. Especially if it is community run/organized and the profits go towards some rad cause like buying controllers/equipment for kids in need.

The main problem, as one person accurately pointed out, is time and structure. We dont have anyone in the office with experience in running/developing a school curriculum and no one certainly has time to actually run one.

If someone were to come along that has:

the experience
the vision
the desire
the balls, grit,grim and grimmace to undertake learning the little pukes well then great!

this post is rad.

Why not do an online free school? I mean like we use an online massive chat client (Skype for example), and once a week we have someone who is well versed in a certain area or specializes in a certain area of DJ'ing "teach" a course online via that.

Each week can be a different section, or topic. We can find a decent time (create a poll) and that way we can interact, ask questions, learn, and have a good time all at the same time!

Any other thoughts? I would love to learn from ANY of you guys!

Why not try this once? It should be groups of 3-4 people and the time should be around 1 hour per lesson.
Everyone is behind his decks.
One of them teaches and all are allowed to give input
Who's in for it? Skype seems a good way to accomplish this.

The teacher however should really know what he's talking about though. I'm taking DJing classes myself now and the teacher is incredible knowledgable. Its a lot of fun to learn from him and each other of the other 3 participants.

Honestly, I was thinking more like 10 people or so per teacher, just because its free. Whatever works though! Ohh, and we could have like classes get more advanced every two weeks. So we progress, and have like 1 class a week, so if you cannot make one class you can make the other!

I'm getting super excited !

Having ten people being teached would be pretty one-sided. Still both concepts may work fine. Look at this!

[tekki]

Hahahahaha, that's ace bro'!

You'd have prefered the name "Dutch Progressive Mafia" ?

A text balloon with:"I make you an offer you can't refuse" would fit my picture.

Nah...the picture tells another story. I'm explaining the super-complicated Midi-Fighter-device. You need to cool yourself off with a hit of vodka out of a plastic-bottle. Panda is just...eh..starring like a psychopath, but considering attentively.

I'm thinking... nah, not losing my focus from the alcohol.... yet....
