Some ideas just rattle around the grey matter until something triggers a reminder. Bud Hunt wrote yesterday with a fine metaphor On Constraints, Road Maps, and Driving Directions as he thinks about how to balance the structure vs looseness in curriculum design: One way that’s productive in thinking about constraints that are helpful and still […]
Yesterday I climbed high up a snowy mountain to seek out Ol Hatchet Jack (sadly lacking a Wikpedia entry), the frozen mountain man. Jack has not been heard from on over a year, but he’s still there. His rifle is gone, some other mountain man must have nabbed it, but he did have a new […]
I do not always look at my full twitter stream, but am both glad and saddened to read this message today: Still reeling from the news that my friend and colleague @jaycross has passed on. A big influence on me and the field of elearning. Vale. — Clark Quinn (@Quinnovator) November 7, 2015 The photo […]
Okay, I will let this go soon. But I wanted to get the word of Facebook’s shameful practices of allowing fake profiles to be created for scamming purpose and their opaqueness of reporting processes. SO I re-wrote my previous catfishing posts into a new article onto the Big Stage of Medium.com: Timothy Boostrom is Not […]
EDUCAUSE. The Big One. I’ve not been to the Big EDUCAUSE since 2004, in Denver. Back then I had more hair, less weight, a clunkier laptop, a blog only 1 year old. They were heady times. My visual memories are the massive main auditorium, having to wade through the vendor hall to get coffee, and […]
Put a big ole squishy love twitter hearting favorite here! The talk I did last month in Puerto Rico, for which I have already published the notes and stuff, is now published. Yes, I am now one of those people. Associated with the enterprise that is a Massive, Money-Soaked Orgy of Self-Congratulatory Futurism. But that’s […]
Via my last post of Facebook Catfishing a commenter led me to this facebook profile of “Timothy Boostrom” who is not using my photo on his profile, but liberally sprinkled them (me) in his own photos: Many of the photos have captions and comments purporting to be in Scotland on July 7, 2015: When in […]
Life presents memory triggers usually, mostly, without any expectation. Tonight is our first winter storm in northern Arizona, with sub freezing temperatures expected, maybe even snow. On my morning rounds in the yard, I was stunned to see new roses and buds on the bush. I know they won’t make the night, so I thought […]
I heed your call, Mike Caulfield, to be part of the Federated Library Project. Partly because of respect for Mike (and that I bailed on doing a FedWiki thing i August), partly because Alyson is boarding for 100 posts, partly because this might call for some neat WordPress tinkering. Many people scratch their heads at […]
This morning was a treat and a half. Five times over. Via a Google Hangout with students in The Hague (Netherlands) connecting three of us in the US, one in Canada, one in Mexico, was the premiere of the videos representing the students work as part of Project Community, a design course at the Hague […]
