This is a quiet Spring Break week at Maricopa (faculty are off the whole week, staff work MOnday to Wednesday), and I am heaving a rock into the waters, sending some ripples out. Change is all around out there (including Arizona getting in some places, 4 feet of snow in one weekend) and I am […]
I like using internet tools. I hate taking care of servers. Today has been a bad jinxed day. Is that more Alberta voodoo? For one thing, I loathe turning off web sites that are still accessible or even actually used. I have some web pages that first popped up more than 12 years ago. But […]
Dress it up with ad talk like “Dominate Any Market”, but to me Super Blog Submitter Pro is nothing short of spammers delight. Is this a virtuous, noble, make your Mom proud, business or what: The VooDooBlogger software is amazing in every respect! … Imagine creating entire blog farms in a matter of hours instead […]
Here in Phoenix, we don’t have that old saying about “raining and pouring”, especially since it is now 143 days since any water fell from the sky. But the podcasting flow is pretty good, with my quick and dirty recording with an iRiver, simple Audacity editing (fade in, fade out, bump levels, and take out […]
I am working on getting over my podcast malady. For the past few years, two of our faculty that teach a semester-long class in digital storytelling have provided the same experience in compressed form for faculty as a 40 hour “Bringing Digital Storytelling to the Classroom LearnShop”. I started hovering in the August 2004 session […]

As previously noted, last Friday we assembled a panel of 7 Maricopa students who shared with out Ocotillo Online Learning Group their experiences in our online courses. This is a rather small sample of the stories that are “out there.” Just the diversity within this group (self selected volunteers who would be willing to stand […]
flickr foto Shuffle Come Homeavailable on my flickr For weeks I was sure I had lost my iPod Shuffle… and today I found it stuck in the pocket of a pair of pants I had not worn in weeks. Charge up, little iPod, we got some running to do! Lost, now found. I was conviinced […]
Friday was our monthly meeting of the Ocotillo Online Learning Group (OLG) and we had a lot of anticipation, since this was our second annual meeting where we arranged a panel discussion with Maricopa students so they could tell us of their online learning experiences. Last year, it was lively, and packed the room with […]
Since not long after the day in October 1993 when a colleague handed my a floppy disk (remember those?) labeled “Mosaic”, our office has had a continuously running web server. We have gone through several iterations of trying to build collections of web resources for educators, and in going through some old files, I got […]
