I’ve more or less resigned myself that I have little interest in doing intensive (or any) blog note-taking at conferences. It’s easy to get caught up in the idea of recording it for yourself and others, but it ends up feeling a bit like being one of the transcribing monks (the one with bad fingers). […]
TACO HOUSE! Originally uploaded by larowebr. Brian and I had a filled room for our session on Beyond Blogs. It was a blast and we were honored to have a great audience, many of them bloggers we’ve only had virtual connections to… but since I am trying to listen t other sesstions, the post game […]
Engage Me or Enrage Me: Education Today’s Digital Native LearnersMarc PrenskyGames2Train [ed: I heard Prensky’s message several years ago– the message is good, but not all that different. He has a strong message, does it with passion, shows on the screen a lot of “bumper sticker” statements. We’re almost 45 minutes in, maybe 50 slides, […]
Sunny San Diego, fresh ocean breeze, how much better can it get? I slipped into town this afternoon for the EDUCAUSE ELI Annual conference, picked up the bag, and performed a past ritual. But bags aside, it’s off to a galactic start. I met up Brian Lamb this afternonn and we mulled over our session […]
The word has sneaked out a bit earlier than Brian and I had planned on the flickr-housed presentation we are doing Monday at the EDUCAUSE ELI meeting in San Diego. Beyond the Blog: ready For Prime Time was pitched at a look at where weblogs have gone since (slightly?) passing the novelty “aren’t the just […]
It’s been a while since I’ve had to waste time dealing with comment spammers, thanks to Dr Dave and Spam Karma 2 plugin for WordPress. However, on oneof my other WP blogs today, the number of spam roaches squeaking under SK2 has been disturnbing. Some tricks ntoed are: (1) They are embedding only one URL, […]
It’s my aim for our MCLI events to have as much content as possible be a part of our web sites, as well asfor those looking back at it, for those who were not in attendance. Even with speed-haste audio/video editing (not aided by a delay in getting source video), it took a while to […]
Okay, D’Arcy, what have you inflicted on me? I was getting a lot done this week, and with compassion and empathy read of his hard drive and server failures. Now I am having that day, almost the same. Our office G4 Apple server has been flaking out, getting hung, all week long. Staff report files […]
Is it just me or is it lately that del.icio.us is getting wonky? My links pictured below are…. not so…. tasty. Hasn’t the infusion of Yahoo bucks had an effect? Maybe it has gotten too popular. Maybe it is the time of day, phases of the moon.The free love the net gives can get testy […]
For the last few months (going back to August 2005), I’ve taken a self-induced hiatus for educational conference travel, but that is now changing quickly with three planned trips on the books in about a month’s span. Plans are now posted up on my IndyJunior map (and good to see Bryan Boyer’s source web site […]
