If anyone is more into sarcasm than myself, they are hanging out at the Uncyclopedia “the content-free encyclopedia that anyone can edit”. A total loving mimicry of the WikiPedia, at the Uncyclopedia at least there need be no debates about authoritative resources since it proudly claims to be full of lies. Just look at the […]
In Executing Learning Objects, Resurrecting Sharing and Reuse, Scott Leslie takes some well thought shots at the sacred cow term of “learning objects” (and his animation of the “execution” could use more blood, guts, and squeals). As part of a workshop for the BC Educational Technology Users Group, Scott has nicely posted his materials in […]

This is the kind of spontaneous publicity I need! Casino, Pills, and Porn links in my blog! That really makes somebody! Things are going to start […]
