Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
It was a pleasure in my first week here to meet UBC History professor Tina Loo, who Brian and tipped me off to as far as doing inventive work by incorporating the Wikipedia Education Program (WEP) into her HIST 396 class on North American Environmental History. Part of my mission here is to learn more […]
FeedWordPress is the magic elixer, the glue that binds ds106 and its satellite sites together- we are currently syndicating in over 500 blogs to the main ds106 site. By the use of extra tags we add to each feed (e.g. one to designate open online participants, one to designate the different groups that use the […]

pre-post script: On re-reading this is chaotic and not even close to a full wrap experience of an intense event, and I feel like I left more out than I described. Sigh, blogging about blogging or blogging about not blogging well…
It’s hard to blog the experience of last week’s Faculty Academy at the University of Mary Washington because there is so much to try and encapsulate, and I’m left with “it was teh awesome”. Some here is the random brain dump. Or maybe it will be all photos.
My first experience at faculty Academy was as a speaker in 2007 and 5 years later I find myself on the other side as one of the team at UMW putting on the conference. Then, like now, it is a conference that does not overwhelm you as a conference, there is a lot of space to talk, and there is this kind of family gathering vibe to it.

I’m thinking of Jerry’s note this morning (happy to see him signed up for Camp Magic Macguffin) “@lukew: “an artist understands that self-renewal is the only way to avoid burning out.””looking at #ds106 as a self-renewal project. — Jerry Slezak (@jslezak) May 22, 2012 With the startup of our online class, I worry about letting […]

Lost in the shuffle of activity last week was a May 18 milestone; that day marked 20 years of my edtech career, the day I started my job as “programmer analyst/instructional systems” at the Maricopa Community Colleges. Wow was I green, but also a sponge. After my immersion of system culture at an Ocotillo retreat […]
