IN accordance to Scottlo’s usual open self flagellation over audio tools, I have to worn you portions of this are indecipherable dues to the android recorder app I used which seemed in some places to increase the levels so much to completely distort my words. Slice 005 On my first day, I left the house of my host, Frankie Forsyth, and followed a road up the hill providing the view above. It led me to an old quarry with a curious junk car and an arrangement of stones into a large cross. I am still coughing rather badly, a barking reflecting dog. I pause to ask where is the big giant answer from the sky? Do the clouds spell really “ds106″? Of course they do. In other [...]

Slices of Life 004: I Give You These 12… um… 8 Apostles!
cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog This SLices of Life comes to from the beach, in view of one of the key places I wanted to see in person, the Twelve Apostles along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. Just like Mel Brooks and his Fifteen… Ten Commandments satire, sometimes you lose a few in the wash. Clearly this was demonstrated how ephemeral Apostles made of limestone can be, as Carl Berger shared his 2002 photo of the same spot (and I am not making any inference linking Moses and Carl ;-) There was another 10+ minute section for this slice, but once again, the levels on the Android Voice Recorder app went bonkers and the levels are way high. I think I found the right menu option to prevent this– the one that says “Your new iPhone 4S will be delivered before you get home [...]

cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog Here is my Slice fo Life recording from my trip into the future, as our ds106 colleauges west of the international date line refer to it. On Friday, November 25, yes Black Friday, I drove from Strawberry to Phoenix, got a ride to the airport, flew to San Francisco to Sydney to Melbourne… here is the future. Slices of Life 003 The drive down from the Arizona high country did not disappoint, with the winter phenomena of seeing clouds that hover over the high mountains, even down to the road. I had always passed this one spot south of Rye, near Deer Creek, a lovely little horse ranch that reminds me of Bonanza. Today was the day to stop and take that photo. cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog There is some relevance on this trip [...]
(see the full barking...)Slice 001: Under the Big Sky
Okay Scottlo, I am on track to follow your lead of Always Be Reflecting. Scottlo, aka Scott Lockman, is one of my friends i have never met, an educator in Japan who connected via the narrowest of chances to ds106radio. For the past few weeks, he has been engaging in a practice of audio reflections (see Slices of Life 01 – Introducing the Project). As described, it came out of his interesting in Action Research, and in his audio discourses- with himself on the streets of Tokyo– he uses it as a platform to sort out his challenges in teaching and more– But in thinking this through, a bigger question has emerged. And it is a question I’ve not given enough time to thinking about. I’m not very clear on how to word the question yet. It goes something like: what does it mean to be a teacher? or what [...]
