OH. MY. GOD.

That was amazing, A. I’m humbled to get a directed blog post and also incredibly excited to start doing all of this work. It’s def. an ‘on the shoulders of giants’ moment but I am hoping that UMDS will be able to bring some new, strange, compelling content to the party.

Or at least some more puppets ;)

Seriously, Alan, thanks a lot alot. You are totally the man. Drinks on me when we finally meet up (whenever that is).

Gratefully,
Professor B.

You win at life!

If not for this single post, then for all of the work you’ve done trying to get people to uncover the storytellers and life-long learners buried deep within them. Your amazingly reflective life and writing practice is what made me start following the blog back when I started blogging in ’05, and has what made me so giddy to finally be a part of one of your amazing experiences (ds106) over the course of the last year and a half!

Keep the hits coming, Alan!

This is a phenomenal post, and touches on some extremely pertinent points about how new media, especially classes like ds106, provide spaces for students to really shine by giving us more control over our educational experiences.

Also, STOP MAKING ME WANT TO TEACH THIS. I have been saying I will never be a teacher since I was in grade school. Now I’m all, “But that’s so true! And so cool! And it’s everything I wanted to be doing as a kid and it’s so EMPOWERING and…”

Seriously. Cease with the awesome. It is RUINING my plans to go into chartered accountancy.
