On Friday, I am headed down to Scottsdale Community College’s Techtools day. I presented there a few years ago, and this year, they are bringing in the big gun, Bryan Alexander, as keynote. I opted to toss in a session, and hence this thing: The premise (or promise or lack there of of both is: […]
I’m tickled, not ecstatic rolling on the floor, about the response among the ds106 participants in creating examples of mini stories using the tools from 50+ Web 2.0 Ways to Tell a Story. I’ve always wanted to have more examples to include, and ds106 provides, abides, subsidizes…What is really cool is that they seem to […]

Please. Pretty please. This is a second calling for people who, while wishing for the Big Changes in Education, are doing it at their own level, […]

Continuing on the chicken theme? Only the little kind. It’s been almost a month since the sky fell on delicious.com. In news that spread at retweet speed, a leaked screenshot from a Yahoo inside briefing had listed the social bookmarking site delicious as being in the chopping block. Or is it chopped?
