flickr foto The Dim Screen of Deathavailable on flickr This is as bright as my MacBookPro gets– this has happened 3 different times, once while I was watching the screen. And not, the F1/F2 keys do not help. The only way I have found to resurrect it is to shut it down for a few […]

Long before “Web 2.0”, “social software”, the big web buzzword was “portals”— A portal, or enterprise information portal (EIP), is a Web site that integrates an organization’s knowledge base and all related applications into a single user-customizable environment.

A new book on synchronous learning strategies has just come out– Learning in Real Time by Jonathan Finkelstein, and there is a new web site companion for the book. Disclaimer: I got to read a preview of the book last Spring, and was asked to write a few remarks for the back cover… I write […]
