Just a quick post here to reference what I posted on the Connected Courses site as part of the “pre-course” unit September 2 to 14 I am co-doing with Jim Groom and Howard Rheingold. This is the equivalent of what we used to do in ds106 as “Boot Camp” (probably a metaphor not useful worldwide) […]

As a photographer and lover of old devices, I do not think I could have found a better container for my new PirateBox. I found this old Brownie Camera at Granny’s Antiques in Payson; I was looking for a small interesting container for this small router and power supply (it was almost in a wooden […]
Through more twitter conversations with Maha Bali, my memory cells rekindled an early web project I did while working at the Maricopa Center for Learning & Instruction (Maricopa Community Colleges).

I posted an extensive write up for The Harvard School of Graduate […]

It makes Alice’s trip look like a cheesy 1980s VHS movie. This morning I cleaned a lot of duds, dead critters, and dust bunnies from my […]
They are out there…
At the crack of 6:30am Friday I was doing a remote presentation for the Ontario Universities’ Council on e-Learning (OUCEL), via request from colleagues there.
