I’ve already blogged a summary of our NMC Second Life presentation over at the Campus Observer, so in this lazy state, I am reblogging myself (hey, that ping kind of tickles!).
The picture below is what we did to give the Second Life participants a snapshot of what the Real Life participants in Atlanta were doing [...]

Our second half of an NMC double-header presentation at the ELI 2007 Annual Conference in Atlanta was the official release of the 2007 NMC Horizon Report. This is the 4th year of NMC’s report on emerging technologies for teaching, learning, and creative expression, and my biased opinion (2 years on the advisory board and now [...]

Alexander’s laws of Hotels is upheld- the bigger, the more expensive the hotel, the more troublesome and weak is the internet connectivity. Ditto for the CNN Omni.

Today there was a glut of comments in my Google Reader subscription for What Can You Do With flickr? part of the session I did in October for the K12 Online Conference, so being always in need of some ego brushes, it was pretty cool to get a long string of them — did someone [...]

Hang on to your full content news feeds, this post might be a long one. I hope to try and document the under the hood as well as some of the exterior chrome work on a new site NMC just unveiled this week. This is as much for my records as anything.
But first, start with [...]

My infatuation with Microsoft Windows is documented, and may not have changed much, but I can say I am liking very much so far the flexibility, and slick connectedness of Parallels Desktop for Mac running on my MacBookPro.
This morning I gave Bootcamp the boot. Goodbye. Go back to basic training, as the new solider has [...]
