Almost a year ago Mia Zamora and I got very excited about the idea for a class we would co-teach in the spring. The rest was is Alchemy. Last week I headed back to Irvine, California for the 2017 DML Conference where I will get to share that alchemy (sadly Mia is not able to […]
Almost a year ago Mia Zamora and I got very excited about the idea for a class we would co-teach in the spring. The rest was is Alchemy. I’m headed back to Irvine, California for the 2017 DML Conference where I will get to share that alchemy (sadly Mia is not able to attend in […]
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 […]
After not traveling at all from mid June to late September, I went on a spree, traveling from October 6 to November 8 and then tacking on another 5 days of hosting visitors from the UK. This included stops in Fairbanks Alaska, Eldersburg MD, Fredericksburg VA, Richmond VA, San Juan, Puerto Rico, London, and 10 […]
I am humbly honored to have been part of a stellar invited panel for Monday’s Minding The Future event at the University of Mary Washington (I don’t mind it at all BTW). Along with Audrey Watters, Kin Lane (first time meeting, he is a genius), David Wiley, and Gardner Campbell (subbing eminently for Jon Udell, we missed ya Jon), I prepped a 10 minute “FredTalk”

If asked whether they would like to be remembered, almost no one would answer “No”..But multiple choice questions can be trickier than they seem. The education future some are painting for us is a path focused on a destination, reached via an unmemorable journey.
Rather than the normal, plop the slides into Slideshare (well after having to convert Keynote to PDF), I am just embedding them below with the rough notes. I don’t use a script, so the notes are the gist. Or the grist
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. […]
My pal Todd Conaway invited me to be a speaker at his school, Yavapai College, in Prescott, where they are running a three day faculty institute (Todd claims when he started, this event ran fo 6 days, that is hard core!). Yavapai is a multi campus system that serves the county of the same name. […]
I was asked a few weeks ago by Julie Lindsay and Vicki Davis to create a keynote video for their current round of Flat Classroom projects. While I’ve done plenty the last few years on storytelling, I was interested I trying something new. Being immersed on ds106 and the starting point of having our students […]
