Mastercards with flickr uses the gazillion images found in flickr to create the familiar game of image matching. The site creator gives the nod to the version from Games For the Brain (a nice collection of stuff), but isn’t this really the old game of “Concentration”?

I am sitting here in Cincinnati, Kentucky (Yes, Ohio, the airport has left the state) waiting to go home after the 4 day intense almost boot camp experience of the EDUCAUSE Instructional Technology Leadership Program 2005. And the experience was more intense for the participants than us “faculty” presenters. The vagaries of air flight have […]
I love it- four spam roaches exterminated with one deft motion: Also quickly added the wplicense plug-in, an easy way to puff up your WP blog with a Creative Commons license, and it comes with a free whiff of AJAX!
Audree, the brilliant programmer behind the system used at Chandler-Gilbert Community College as well as the version we share with the rest of Maricopa is rolling out some exciting new features for this software. How about a wiki inside an ePort? Audree has rolled into the eport system a version of UseMod wiki. She just […]
