I so loved the OER20 Conference #ThisIsMe activity- they encouraged participants in this online conference (I write this as if there are any other kinds now) to tweet and photo of their participation location. You get great windows into participants from both the top tweets (hi Martin) and the latest tweets. It’s a very small […]
It’s one of those things to keep your attention on long drives. From hundreds of miles away are billboards enticing you to check out The Thing in southern Arizona. From a piece in Vice: The Thing is advertised on billboards stretching hundreds of miles, from Arizona to Texas, but it’s impossible to understand The Thing […]
This blog may not be big enough to fully describe last week’s experience being part of the UDG Mural project in Guadalajara, you really had to be there. Beyond working with the best team, supported by a fantastic group of planners, backed by a big leagued sized educational institution you never hear about, and invited […]
I’m still got in my brain the hoofbeat sounds of Western 106… Those sounds are louder as I prepare for the DML 2017 pre-conference workshop I’m doing with Kim Jaxon, long trail titled “Staking Your Claim: How the Open Web is Won for Teaching & Learning”: How do educators support students as they navigate an […]
Good swag? In the bag? I’m just back from Toronto where I was part of an eCampus Ontario team doing workshops for a new project aimed at capacity building among institutions in Northern Ontario (I still insist geographically it’s central, but I will stop) (soon). Ontario Extend is on the burner for it’s own post […]
Without a doubt, the Mozilla Festival held last week in London was the most atypical conference I have ever attended. It was sensory overload, frenetic, lot of caffeine and rah rah, and more. See if you can find me, Waldo… cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by Mozilla in Europe But mostly, it […]
I recently felt like this wistful gal during a recent online seminar- isolated, lonely, and wishing to go outside and play. With nose-diving budgets and more work moving online, it’s time to raise the bar on how we run online events. Like a horrendously designed PowerPoint, no one sets out with a plan of creating […]
Engage Me or Enrage Me: Education Today’s Digital Native LearnersMarc PrenskyGames2Train [ed: I heard Prensky’s message several years ago– the message is good, but not all that different. He has a strong message, does it with passion, shows on the screen a lot of “bumper sticker” statements. We’re almost 45 minutes in, maybe 50 slides, […]
Sunny San Diego, fresh ocean breeze, how much better can it get? I slipped into town this afternoon for the EDUCAUSE ELI Annual conference, picked up the bag, and performed a past ritual. But bags aside, it’s off to a galactic start. I met up Brian Lamb this afternonn and we mulled over our session […]
The word has sneaked out a bit earlier than Brian and I had planned on the flickr-housed presentation we are doing Monday at the EDUCAUSE ELI meeting in San Diego. Beyond the Blog: ready For Prime Time was pitched at a look at where weblogs have gone since (slightly?) passing the novelty “aren’t the just […]
