Muchas gracias to the people who commented or messaged me about the 15 minute EDUPUNK retrodocumentary I produced for a presentation this week at the University of Guadalajara. As it turns out, we played only the first few minutes (up to the Quincy re-dub) as (a) it was too long and (b) most of the […]
I never expected to be blogging about EDUPUNK, much less presenting on it. But the folks running the CIINOVApp conference here in Guadalajara asked me and colleagues Tannis Morgan and Brian Lamb to bring it back (we are here by invitation from the University of Guadalajara a week before our UDG Agora Project events). It […]
Warning: This blog post inspired by of all things a ‘favorite’ of a photo, and is being written without too much direction where it will go. This is just one photo of mine. Someone recently favorited it in flickr (apparently Yahoo has not gotten the Twitter notice that Likes are the thing). For whatever inexplicable […]
But it is a blog. Or is it? What am I talking ’bout, Willis? No, the title was a talk I gave today at the Justice Institute of British Columbia, at the invitation of UDG Agora Project manager and colleague, Tannis Morgan. She asked me to come to JIBC and preach the gospel of WordPress […]
From the start of SPLOTs we recognized an inherent problem with not asking for people who use them to create accounts / share info– there would be no way for them to modify what they wrote or shared once it was put in. The same thing happened with the UDG Agora version of the DS106 […]
Between our presentation at Open Education 2015 and the discussions this week at TRU, it’s been rewarding to see and hear interest into what was characterized (I have my own proof) on October 28, 2014 as: I might have snickered a little the first time Brian suggested SPLOT as a name for a group of […]
To start with a complete random, isn’t-the-internet-weird-and-wonderful story… I sought an image for this post by searching google images (settings for licensed for re-use) for dumb machine — and a few scrolls down from images of old computers, images of asylums and pinball machines… one of my own photos jumped out. Why is my old […]
My how I have fallen down on my presentation archiving. I joined Tom Woodward and Amy Rector Verrelli on the last day of Open Education 2015 to present The Great VCU Bike Race Book: Connected Learning meets the UCI Road World Championships. Imagine your university was going to close for a week in the 1st […]
The second of three sessions my name was listed on at Open Ed 2015 was Splots and Darkweb Plots. It might not take a lot of guessing to know that this was co-presented with Brian Lamb. Furthermore, in the spirit of remix, the platform of the presentation was the same platform as just described in […]
Our Open Education 2015 presentation yesterday on the UDG Agora project was scheduled in the big vast main ballroom. The big house. Along with Tannis Morgan, Brian Lamb, and Terri Bateman, we tried to cram a lot of stuff into a 30 minute box. My “weird idea that my colleagues should laugh it off dismissively” […]
