While my stint for BCcampus operating the H5P Kitchen has passed, I am still very interested in H5P as an open education platform. I did a short open discussion (aka free form) this week for Simon Fraser University, and spied a new H5P project over at MERLOT and was interested to see an H5P Studio […]
The audience who appreciates a subtle reference to recursion, a machine that makes machines, or going meta about something meta is sized down there maybe in the single digits… of one hand. Oh well, if anything I write to amuse myself. Insert laughter. So speaking of turning on a machine of productivity, Martin Weller is […]
People have pretty much lost track of the syndication bus, small things joined in any way, and talking about things like RSS is a sure fire way for some kid to make fun of grandpa on TikTok. It still runs strong in me. Heck I just tested putting a Hypothes.is RSS feed into Feed2JS. It […]
There’s no magic beyond my fervent clutch to the discarded in lieu of social media the fully functional tools of RSS and News readers. But I will perk up at a geological metaphor in a blog post. Thus it was Irwin Devries’s dusting off of the publish button on his blog with a great new […]
What could be better news that Kirby Ferguson is launching a new wave of Everything is a Remix? Even if I do feel old seeing Tik Tok (I’m not there, but I get it) (that of course cannot be true) (except for being old). What happens when something you created long ago gets peeled back […]
My search history may indicate otherwise, but I feel like on a daily basis I am poking in Google Images for results licensed Creative Commons. I use one nifty trick to hasten the search, but just made another one that might be of use. The method I have used for quite some time goes back […]
… in which I humbly pay respects to Jon Udell, as it reads in his Twitter bio, the “Patron saint of trailing-edge technologies.” And one of the endless reasons I respect Jon is his embodiment of being the antithesis to the Silicon Valley holy devotion to the cutting edge, is his devotion to the other […]
Not that this was necessary. The edtech metaphor making for Martin Weller had completely run its course (and the great John Johnston sharing a way to feed it via a Google spreadsheet), yet I am still tinkering. Today happened just because I was cleaning out old unread email, and found a link I had emailed […]
Old black and white photos- do they look old just because the lack the colors most of us see day to day? We look back at them from a world full of colors, but so did the original photographer. Can we open that world again? Among many tweets that slip by on a daily basis, […]
I’ve been tweeting since January 2007 (and am infasionable not yet a Deleter). Big deal. For all the times I have crafted a tweet thinking it would put some ripples in the pond, or make commentary, I can say the sum results of all this is crickets. No biggie. So it gives me some smile, […]
