We’ve got some regular visitors to some of our Ocotillo wikis, too bad they are not contributing to our collaborative space, unless you think that inserting about 150 URLs for Asian web sites has something to do with Learning Objects. They hit the same pages, and in fact are wiki URLs mentioned here, so I […]
The demo blog I set up for the Low Threshold Applications site as the pro-bestiality cluns, the online gambling groups, and the freaky flesh photographers and their assorted scary friends have been paying daily visits. I have a new scheme which has plugged them up pretty good, so I am hoping to get a good […]
This is the last session of the day. I think they want to go home. Let’s give a hand to our guest photographer, Jason, who’s image choice reflected how the group felt at the end of the conference. This group too ahs been rather receptive to some of the wacky ideas presented. Okay, that is […]
I am writing live from Black Canyon Conference Center in Phoenix doing session on so-called “new technologies” for people who work in workforce development centers and job training place. The “presentation” was whipped up this morning (it shows) as a wiki (a) because it is fast; and (b) I can demo a wiki. See “Rip. […]

Writer Mike Reiss is coming to give a lecture on “Simpsons Mania: Behind the Scenes with America’s Favorite Family”: Culled from more than two decades of creating the funniest and most outrageous shows on television, Reiss’ presentation is a unique glimpse inside the cutting edge of entertainment, […]
Some readers may have followed our mention new efforts this year with our ‘Ocotillo’ faculty-driven technology initiatives, now in its 18th year of existence. This year, we ripped the page right out of the Small Pieces Loosely Joined concept and built a system to support our four action groups that will lead activities and projects […]
Not to clog this blog with too much non educational technology stories (but I am my own editor and publisher…), I am just back to work today after what was supposed to be a tranquil backpack into the Grand Canyon with my stepson that turned out to be a near death experience. I kid you […]
In preparation for some workshops during my November 2004 visit to some colleges in the Auckland, New Zealand area, I am launching an “inverted” version of the main CDB as the “CogDog(kiwi)Blog” (perhaps here after acronymed as CDkB?): http://ablog.unitecnology.ac.nz/blog/ Being on the opposite side of the globe, the new blog has the trendy blac kbackground, […]
