cc licensed flickr photo shared by Serenae You gotta like the Jim Groom strategy- run off to the good life in Italy, and let people like Tom Woodward go craxy coming up with ideas to use in Jim’s ds106 course (Tom is on FIRE, see his latest activity ideas). My, that fence is getting painted […]
There is absolutely nothing novel or prophetic about talking about smartphones (a word I loathe to use, but heck, I can live finally with “Web 2.0”) as potentially replacing computers as a primary device.

What hath Jim Groom wrought? A few spare body parts, some electricity, whilring dials, and some hunchbacked assistant… ds106 The Mad Open Online Course is Alive! So it’s not even place, it’s three weeks out, why are all my colleagues, friends madly in their labs, and doing of all things, retro 1990s techno things like […]
