Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
I’ve been grateful for the deluxe accommodations that has been provided for my fourth month visit at Thompson Rivers University. I’m on the fancy floor of suites, above 10 floors of student residences. The floor I am on (I think) they run out of their Hospitality program, so there are students in that program working […]
I keep a TV on mainly as having some background sound so it’s not so empty in this apartment. I was not even watching what I left on, my the tone… the frequency of the actress was so brash, yet alluring. And thus I fell into a Mae West rabbit hole. How little of this […]
DS106 radio is coming up on its 4th birthday in February. I’m skipping all of the what it is stuff, besides to say that it is free form internet radio. We give away all you need to do a live broadcast. But it needs a fully loaded set of audio to play ongoing. The programmed […]
A few weeks ago, as a favor for a friend buying a computer, I did something unusual. I went inside a mall. My formative late teen age years were spent at Security Square Mall in Baltimore (named for its proximity to the headquarters of the Social Security Administration). My last job before leaving Arizona was […]
A meandering romp through the relationships of us and our tools to what it means to develop/use technologies that are what Audrey Watters write as “habitable, sustainable, and healthy”. So oft uttered in the edtech field, having done my share of uttering in the early years– “Technology is Just a Tool.” It’s. Almost. As. Frequent. […]
An endless theme in the CogDogBlog House, promoting the radical, all so time consuming habit (invisible sarcasm tags here) of giving other people attribution for what they share. Eight years ago I hoped I had coined linktribution. Never caught on. But since I’m on a flickr roll as it seems from the confusion of licensing […]
Assume a deleted sentence above references not being employed in a certain legal position. You know the line. What mean ye license? late Middle English: via Old French from Latin licentia ‘freedom, licentiousness’ (in medieval Latin ‘authority, permission’), from licere ‘be lawful or permitted’. Is it freedom or is it lawful? This is where we […]
I’ve done my research. It’s a trope- Everything’s Better With Cows. Watch the elegantly (student) produced animation story below. Retweet it. Facebook it. StumbleUponIt. It’s great. Yes, I landed there via a Guy Kawasaki tweet to his link farm. https://twitter.com/GuyKawasaki/status/538020816420888576 And that’s where most people aim. The Big Final Shiny Thing. I appreciate these kinds […]
Having accomplished the tsunami wave riding disruption of higher education, Coursera is not resting on their laurels or profit line. No, the crushing of the archaic system is more than imminent, it’s cruising at 35,000 feet. In December 2015 the Learning Really Begins. At 30,000 feet, online higher education isn’t the most effective thing on […]
Two weeks ago I was in Vancouver for the ETUG Fall 2014 Workshop, what a great gathering and with their un-conference format, a refreshing experience from the typical conference grueling treadmill present-o-rama format. I was not sure I would stand up an pitch a session, but I was sort of prepared, I had brought the […]
