You don’t have to be a “post some silly movie or photo or rant” every day blogger to be effective. When my RSS Reader lights up with a new post from Gardner Campbell, I drop what I am doing to go read. If you are an educator interested in blogging, wiki, web tools for learning, [...]

Woah! I found out today my old Shockwave projects can breathe again!
I cut my multimedia teeth in the 1990s on Macromedia Director. I was happy in the early part of that decade pounding around HyperCard and then came along a project (something to do with Study Skills) that required a lot of animation and there [...]

For no other reason that it was fun to play with, using the cutting web 2.X tools of BombayTV, we have the latest in the tales of edupunk.

Hah! I bet I fooled you into thinking this was another rant against evil PowerPoint, eh? Nope, I actually just used it. Here is another series of loosely connected events I try to frame as a “story”.
I had seen, perhaps tweeted. that Slideshare (’the YouTube of PowerPoints) was running a World’s Best Presentation contest. As [...]

The rush of new technologies is not quite so different from this image, appropriately titled Armageddon.
