This will be too much to cram into a single blog post (which means I will do it anyhow) after 2 intense days at Davidson College for an Indie Ed-Tech & Personal API event organized by Kristen Eshelman and Adam Croom. When I got the email I was doubtful I would go, some because it […]
I should not be amazed anymore where a single link click will lead me. But I remain, happily amazed. While it may only be marginally related to my new Creative Commons Certification project, some thinking about how reputation works in online spaces seems relevant. If (big impossible if IMHO) reputation can be measured, it can […]
I gotta say I love getting some good feedback on yesterday’s post about my new gig via comments and tweets. The well wishes were, well, great, but what I really valued immensely were the suggestions people made in my response to me discussion on collaboration systems. Internet, “you complete me” (and “you had me in […]
It was like a brand new day. Officially, the first day of work on my new project with Creative Commons, which is to help them design a curriculum (of sorts) and a system to provide certifications in the understanding and application of CC. It will be openly licensed (of course), and have an ability to […]
I’ve known for a while of the features of IFTTT (If This Than That) and maybe had one or two recipes set up in an account I forgot making there, but never really got in to make one for myself. Being late for this party is no big deal- but it’s quite an elegant concept, […]
Never underestimate the potential outcomes and echoes of a shot from the hip, mostly uninformed blog post. A few clicks back I blogged some thoughts, questions, and over generalizations on Seeking Evidence of Badge Evidence. To be honest, I looked only at a scant handful of badges, and was a tad dis-appointed in those that, […]
Last month I managed to clean off two partly read books, now I am moving on to a book I really have enjoyed, but has been sitting, partly read, on my coffee table, Jill Lepore’s Secret History of Wonder Woman I got the book last June, when I was getting ready for a project visit […]
When I hear folks in my stream sharing stuff for Open Education Week, my inner cynic wonders what they do the rest of the year. Or speculate a world where we do not have to draw attention in this way to Openness. I get it. The whole idea is to raise awareness, and most of […]
I think it was Mariana Funes that share what I think is one of the best GIF’s I’ve seen pic.twitter.com/S9wtnaYs8M — Amy Hoy (@amyhoy) March 10, 2016 There is so much to like about this play on the final shoot out scene from The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly– the unexpected insert of the […]
I’ve been playing a tiny tiny miniscule game with tweets of no context with the tag #count6 4,15,46,57,70,85 #count6 — Alan Levine (@cogdog) February 28, 2016 Yes, it is fun to see who pays attention (nods to @DrScherf and @twoodwar) but actually I just wanted to have some time stamps for the things I was […]
