cogdog on On Thursday I managed to do a presentation for the 2021 PressEd Conference (WordPress in Education) at the same time I was co-hosting a BCcampus H5P Kitchen webinar. The former was easy because of the refreshingly unique mode of this conference as all “presentations” are done as a series of tweets in a 15 minute […]
cogdog on There was a sequel to sharing the H5P/PB Kitchen as a keynote February 19 for the Arizona OER Conference. A week later, I brought to the same conference…
cogdog on Psss, there are ways to do online conferences that do not require The Zoom. It sounds unlikely, but I have been part of two Twitter based WordPress in education conferences cooked up by Pat Lockley, PressEd versions I’ve been a part of in 2018, in 2019, and in 2020. So when Pat messaged about looking […]
cogdog on Over the last 8 months I’ve been tinkering on a WordPress site made for my wife Cori’s high school program. It’s a place for students most at risk of not graduating across three local schools to write, reflect, connect. It’s a web site but there’s much more to it. If you think Central Canada is […]
cogdog on Here’s a thirteen year arc or maybe a circle or maybe life is just a long looping GIF. One of the old slides says “Start with the #*@% Demo!” so here goes my video prepared as an “alt-format” presentation at the just wrapped OER20 conference. Do You Have to Be Here to Care/Share?Serendipitous connections including […]
cogdog on In this unprecedented overuse of the phrase “unprecedented times” what is more appropriate, and a flavor change of all day Zoom sessions, than a conference run completely over Twitter? It sounds unlikely possible, but here again for it’s 3rd year (aka No Need to Pivot Online), I continue to be impressed/amazed/relieved at the 2020 PressEDConference. […]
cogdog on After engaging with a group of high energy faculty/staff at Kenyon College last week, the answer for the Campbell Consortium may just be… “maybe”. The question was set up as Seeking Answers: Can a Narrative Tie a Course Together? Whether there is such an organization as the Campbell Consortium is beside the point… or is […]
cogdog on (Wow, is there ever a backlog of overdue blog posts. I’m giving myself demerits for tardiness). Maybe my favorite media thing to teach is audio editing, because it’s typically fat from most people’s experiences. With an offer from Cori to do a session at the Arts Gala event for the Prairies South School Division, I […]
cogdog on With the exception of online events, my conference presenting days are behind, me. So it was rewarding to get an invitation to do a session at the University of Regina for ECS 100 (Education Core Studies- “Knowledge, Schooling and Society”). Part of me being there last night may have been my close relationship with one […]
cogdog on Last March I was fortunate to have participated in the uniquely formatted PressEd Conference. Unique it was because there was no air travel, no hotels, no rows of chairs under fluorescent lighting, no parachute presenting keynotes, no conference chicken, no droning powerpoint. That’s because the WordPress and Education, Pedagogy and Research conference was all done […]
