My creative work only gets fully moving when I have settled on a metaphor, a shtick, if you will. For the DML Workshop I did in October with Kim Jaxon, we were agreed on building on the Western theme the workshop had the previous year with Justin Reich. I had pitched Justin the notion of […]
I’m vying in a contest on my own blog for least intelligible post title. The competition is thin. I introduced this word (and the same photo) (because at least people should enjoy the photo) in a talk this week on my approach of “doing it web style”. The audience had not heard the term dogfooding […]
It’s been while since I did a keynote talk… and even longer since I got my gimmick working to automatically tweet from my Apple Keynote slide deck (first done in 2011). I’d pretty much shied away from slide decks, instead doing more talks lately direct from the web using my own SPLOTpoint or doing things […]
Sorry I have not blogged for a decade… Sigh, such excuses. I set up https://cogdogroo.wordpress.com/ in 2007 for a speaking/presenting tour of Australia I did in October 2007– well it was every capital city in two weeks, a bit mad cap. But I did manage 75 posts starting back with planning in February. So it’s […]

I’m still got in my brain the hoofbeat sounds of Western 106… Those sounds are louder as I prepare for the DML 2017 pre-conference workshop I’m doing with Kim Jaxon, long trail titled “Staking Your Claim: How the Open Web is Won for Teaching & Learning”: How do educators support students as they navigate an […]
I’m seconded now in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for the ASCUE annual conference. This is their 50th annual event, that is no typo, fifty as in Five Oh, as confirmed by people today I met who have been coming for 15, 20, and one gentleman, all 50. The invite to keynote this conference came quite […]
List crossing. Attending (and presented) yesterday at the Modern Language Association Conference here in Vancouver. I mingled with more rhetoricians then I usually do. I got to meet Sean Michael Morris and Jesse Strommel of Hybrid Pedagogy fame. My session yesterday was part of a panel on Visionary Pedagogies for the Twenty-First Century: Teaching the […]
I knew I would have use for this photo I took Tuesday on the road to [closed, thank you very much Congress] Denali National Park I have been so excited for this trip made possible by an invitation from Chris Lott, the “big show” being a keynote yesterday for the University of Alaska Fairbanks TechFest […]
