Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
Here is an example of how we are tying events, projects into the Maricopa Learning eXchange (MLX), and using syndication technology to provide a service.
Today is yet another of our Dialogue Days, one day topical faculty development activities– Civic Responsibility: From Awareness to Commitment:
A number of our Maricopa colleges have their own faculty support centers for faculty development and technology infusion… we try and build some collaboration amongst them. Three of them now have been or are starting to, use weblogs to publish resources and events of interest tot heir faculty, actually all hosted in this very MovableType […]
Not relevant to anything but what’s happening around the office…
When I started at Maricopa, I found the building had a locker room available, and for about 3 or 4 years, I was an everyday bicycle commuter- you can tell be the later 90s vintage of my “Wacked Out Bike To Work Page”. Part was economic driven as my wife and I had one vehicle between us, but I also enjoyed the scenery, found the exercise essential to managing my diabetes, but best of all, it was good thinking time.
Fats forward to now, we have 2 cars, more things to do, and I bike maybe 2 days a week, but have had some 2 month stretches of no biking. But a few weeks ago, Todd, who runs our Wellness Program, asked if they could use a photo of me in bike gear to promote a Bike To Work campaign / alternative transportation mode. Little did I know they would plaster posters al over our district…
An online workshop of interest (tip of the blog hat to my colleague Jim Tipton) “RSS115: The Beginners Guide to Weblogs and RSS” led by Library Stuff guy Steven Cohen: If you have ever thought about creating your own weblog or utilizing an aggregator to read news but have been a bit skeptical then this […]
SBL seeks S/DWC for.. nah, it is not one of those! I have just installed iChat/AV v2.1 which is now compatible with AOL Instant Messenger 5.5 for Windows and would like to try it for sure (see specs on AIM Video IM FAQ). If anyone out there is using AIM 5.5 with a video camera, […]
Maybe minutes after mentioning I was in San Francisco for a Pachyderm meeting, I was contacted via em-mail and then iChat by Pat Delaney who offered to meet up and show me the sites off the tourist beaten track. This was great,a s was hearing some of Pat’s work at Gallileo High School, the Bay AreA Writing Project, and his recent stories of being “Shanghai-ed”.
Just returned from an eventful Pachyderm Project meeting in San Francisco. Much time was spent refining an unbelievable thorough requirements document (100+ pages) based on the last few months of creating user scenarios, culling those into requirements, sorting, prioritizing, and refining them towards the specs the programming team will use to produce the first Pachy 2.0 by October 2004 (we’re counting on seeing it!)
Bigger than that, those present got, for the first time, to create content with a copy of the Pachyderm 1.0 same as created by the SFMOMA team except this was running on a server D’Arcy has been nurturing up in Calgary, as documented in the first pachy product, perhaps what will be remembered in future years as the classic “spaghetti face” screen…
The Teaching in the Community Colleges Online Conference is 2/3 over, with one more day of events tomorrow. I’ve had less then available time to participate for reasons to be blogged below, but leave it to say, I am representing Arizona at a virtual conference hosted in Hawaii while I am at a meeting in […]
Holy Calendars, Batman! April 19 marks one year to the birth of CDB, starting from first post, “I Blog Therefore I Am…” In one year, there have been 347 posts, 341 comments (probably 1000 more spam-ments caught my the MT Blacklist plugin), and likely 678 typos. Do the math. It has been interesting to see […]
