The business dudes keep wringing that twitter cannot succeed while not growing its number of users, so strike up the Google is Buying rumor. Meanwhile Rod Serling smiles in the corner, smoke curling up from his cigarette. I just spotted a growth spurt. Did anyone say twitter needs more human users? Some mornings when I […]
Someone never told the folks who participated in the 2013 Educational Technology and Media MOOC that it was over. They are still at it. FYI: @courosa @cogdog just to let you know #Etmooc in 30 in case you know anyone wanting to join in ? ALL welcome — Susan Spellman Cann (@SSpellmanCann) May 28, 2015 […]
Somewhere in the fuzzy pile of recent link clicks in twitter, I came across The Web, A Giant Machine to Think With where Robert Friedman (aka omnigorant) describes how “goofing around on an AOL chatroom” as a kid (“being naughty”) was actually a trigger in his life to becoming someone creating and teaching with the […]
I did not ask for little stickers on my fruit. I do not want to eat little stickers on my fruit. I spend time peeling off little stickers on my fruit. I toss in my trash those little stickers on my fruit. Those little stickers on my fruit do not grow there. Someone working minimum […]
That photo looks a little like me, but that is my grandfather, who passed away 59 years ago today. I can picture that framed image as it was in the wood paneled basement of the house I grew up in Baltimore. It sat in a space on a wall of bookshelves, sitting above the old […]
In my workshops and materials on finding images licensed for reuse, I do explain how google image search can be used to filter out results that are licensed for reuse. I use this quite often myself, in fact I recommend making a browser search shortcut to make this easy to do. But be wary of […]
There are photos that yell at you from the roadside, we just do not hear them, tuned in to the radio or just too much to our own piddly lives. This one yelled out to me from US 395 in Eastern California; I was in the middle (almost literally by mileage) of the return trip […]
This happened at the happy hour Tuesday after being at the Maricopa Teaching With Technology Conference. Across a noisy table, Bill Farrar posed an inquisitive question my way. When I worked at Maricopa, Bill was a psychology teacher at Mesa Community College, now he is at Estrella Mountain and the interim Director of their Center […]
That’s not only a confusing title it’s seemingly something unlikely had you asked me a year ago — “Will you in the future play guitar with a cello teacher you meet for the first time at a 200 year old mission in Tucson?” And today’s meeting with Laura Ritchie ought to have been an entry […]
It’s a bit of a mind bend to calculate that it has been more than 9 years since I left my first “real” job — 14 years as an instructional technologist at the Maricopa Community Colleges. The real bend back to reality was the warm greetings I got today returning there for the 2015 Teaching […]
