The self-proclaimed “grandmother” of electronic portfolios, Helen Barrett has likely the most comprehensive set of resources on her main web site plus her E-Portfolios for Learning blog. Not so evident on the front page of site is a fantastic resource where she has taken the same portfolio content and used it in 22 different eportfolio […]
Some recent online discussions on motivation and eportfolios reminded me of an experience back in October at the EDUCAUSE conference…. well actually it had nothing to do with the conference. Towards the conference, I needed to get out to the airport (which seems to be located somewhere in Nebraska) since my wife was flying in […]
Last evening I had a digital photo portrait taken by a local photographer but I doubt it will be flattering enough to land on my flickr collection… I never saw the photographer, but I have been aware of where they set up their studios. Yes, I managed to have a snapshot taken of not only […]
Yawn… I almost forgot, Today through Friday is the Open Source Summit right in my own backyard in Scottsdale, and what a list of heavy hitters are on the docket. It kind of feels like peeking through the fence at an exclusive country club, marveling at all the shiny, pretty people. The Open Source Summit […]
Another open system bites the dust. Well, maybe I am caving in a bit to the wiki url spammers but as it is the sites we set up are completely useless wikis as they pile up with pages of links to URLs with names so horrific I get a slimy feeling just reading them. Thanks […]
It’s been a while since I browsed some of the new electronic portfolios that have been growing this semester on our Maricopa eP site. But I am liking what is starting to pop up… Dale Doubleday, our Ocotillo ePortfolio Action Group co-chair, has had her ART289 (Computer Illustration) students post to their ePs examples of […]
Over the waters at Auricle, Derek again provocatively asks who will drive the next wave of learning technology trends: In my recent Auricle article A filling station model of e-learning? I suggested that integrated mobile multimedia players and communication devices could be the ‘googly’ which catches advocates of centralized e-learning solutions unawares. So are the […]
Ouch, my blogging fingers are rusty. Among tweaking and updating many of our project web sites this week, an inordinate amount of time has been spent: * cleaning up the droppings we find on our wikis (Thanks for all the potted meat food product shipped directly from Southeast Asia- love those links). * sorting through […]
Surely of interest to no one, but I’ve been fortunate to enjoy a rather lazy extended piece of time, 6 days wrapped around Thanksgiving at our Arizona mountain hideaway in Strawberry (yes readers, Arizona is not a swath of Arabian windswept desert, but have places with trees and weather). I had sworn our elevation was […]
Scott Leslie recently wrote about using Rollup to put together a super feed of his favorite educablogger’s furl and deli.icio,us feeds: lots of folks have separate Furl and del.icio.us sites/feeds. I’ve been subscribing to one or two of them in the past, but wanted to get all the ed tech bloggers’ bookmark feeds in one […]
