Shark jumping is so old. Everyone has done it. Try leaping over the Greek computer bearing donkeys cc licensed ( BY NC SA ) flickr photo shared by Dave Sag I was trying to think of a ridiculous animal to be jumped, like an 8 headed iguana, and just flickr searching on “hydra” I landed […]

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”
I kept the description vague not to to tip the hat for how I would discuss my topic
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 […]
It’s been a while since I touched my StoryBox (c.f. unfinished projects, 1963-2013). I had bought a new router that the PirateBox inside uses, thinking I might use it last Spring, but never got around to it. In the meantime, in getting to talk frequently to Nancy White as we work on the Project Community […]
We know comments on YouTube are bad. Really bad. And what are the great minds and engineers at Google doing? Bubkhas. Therefore, a small distributed group of technical savvy pissed off Mom’s have developed a new internet protocol invoked by calling #MoPoCoPa. With reverse geolocation DNA gene tracking database realtime quadro facto lookup, an offending […]
I grossly, grandly, and greatly underestimated the development of a WordPress theme for a customizable version of the ds106 assignment bank — I want it to be very flexible, and am finding the creation of the admin screens for configuring it to be more complex than I expected. Jim and I had planned a session […]
I’m overloaded! I can’t keep up in ds106! That does not matter because so many other people are cranking out the design work. But for a recent blog post I got it my head to make a redo of the classic 1970′s image for “Keep on Truckin’” Which turned out rather nicely with maybe 30 […]
It was truly rewarding last week to travel to Los Angeles and represent with Martha Burtis, the legion of ds106 at the Digital Media and Learning Research Hub Reclaim Open Learning Symposium. We were being recognized as one of five top examples of “organizations that are transforming higher education toward connected and creative learning, open […]
Another Mozilla Webmaker make created with Thimble, actually this was just a test version I was trying out to see what kind of advanced interactions Thimble could do since they added Javascript functionality. The idea is to have larger photo with complexity within, and use a virtual “camera” viewfinder to make a series of snapshots […]
