From way out here to there, here is my first every participating in a 9x9x25 blogging “thing” via the one being run at Ontario Extend led by Terry Greene. I may easily use up my 25 sentences introducing it 😉 As explained in one of the posts about this effort to network/connect educators: We want […]
It was sure nice to see the way one of the SPLOTs hatched in 2014 is being used at Coventry University: The Compendium Of Bothersome Beasties: A SPLOT for student self reflection and formative feedback [18-162] Samantha Clarke, Lauren Heywood et al. #altc https://t.co/pixXVEoKqs — ALT – alt.ac.uk (@A_L_T) October 2, 2018 When I can […]
As I gaze out the window at snow falling on October 2, it may help to situate the reader who missed the story that this year I migrated from Arizona to the prairies of Saskatchewan, the call to move being one of love. And you may glean from flickr/Instagram photos that Cori and I share […]
One of the biggest hurdles in giving and getting attribution for shared photos is that the information that might provide this information is either not included in the photo metadata, or if it is, it’s not really used. The technology is there to do this. It’s just messy. But via ResearchBuzz this is starting to […]
I’m wrapping up my work with Colin Madland at Trinity Western University creating a collection of clonable WordPress sites with custom child themes intended for the electronic portfolios TWU is proving for 500+ new students.

Speaking of HTML5 Up Themes I’ve folded into WordPress ones, I have to say my favorite might be WP Big Picture. Check out the demo site. It has the lush design of the original HTML5up theme, but what you get in the WordPress version is adding new sections merely by creating new posts, easily changing […]
It won’t put much of a dent in the problematic aspects of the internet, but at least a reminder that it can still be that Wunderkammer, a cabinet of curiosities. Often without much thinking, in our web doings, we click the + button or more likely, command-T to open a new tab to do something. […]
Among the list of “wow it was 25 years ago” was this Fast Company article that came across my twitter stream, “Myst” at 25: How it changed gaming, created addicts, and made enemies. In Myst, you explore an ornately detailed island that leads to other vaguely Victorian sci-fi worlds (called ages) created by a character […]
Here is another new experimenting in porting a Creative Commons licensed HTML5 Up template into a WordPress theme, say hello to WP-Lens. This joins my three previous HTML5 Up to WordPress themes, I was thinking recently of what other templates might be useful inside a WordPress site. The static html site Lens really puts images […]
