At least in spoken form we no longer have to explain who “Earl” is. But still, the fundamental element of the web (which to be understood we used to have to name as “The World Wide Web”) on what is now the more common platform of access, is becoming harder to even find. It’s worth […]
That was me a few days ago being tossed from my workshop demo at DML. Wednesday was the 2017 DML pre-conference workshop Staking Your Claim: How the Open Web is Won for Teaching & Learning I did with Kim Jaxon, who had zero hesitation with my goofy western metaphors. This was a second round from […]
Almost a year ago Mia Zamora and I got very excited about the idea for a class we would co-teach in the spring. The rest was is Alchemy. I’m headed back to Irvine, California for the 2017 DML Conference where I will get to share that alchemy (sadly Mia is not able to attend in […]
Are SPLOTs becoming a thing? Spotted this tweet this morning… I'm thinking to use TRU Writer SPLOT by @cogdog for #openmed learning logs. Thx @jimgroom @villaronrubia for the healthy food for thoughts! — Cristina Stefanelli (@cri_ste) September 30, 2017 I’m thinking about this kind of request as I get stuff ready for the Staking Your […]
I prefer not knowing exactly how flickr picks photos to be in it’s explore featured area. It just sort of happens. I know when either there is a weird spike in activity or you get the norice that your photo has been added to the In Explore group. I’ve had a few get in there, […]

If I have learned anything in my unplanned career in online stuff it’s the value of putting ideas, questions out there, […]
Sue me, I’m an idealist. Okay, I will add one more to that note on the fridge: “Say thanks.” I still maintain that way too much emphasis on the realm of advocating openness, open licenses, is based on the creators side. That putting a license on your work “protects” it from uses you prefer not […]
Well, maybe not literally. Although I did once launch a headless ds106 that spawned a (Photohopped) decapitation theme. This semester I am teaching, from my home in Arizona, a seminar for five Writing Studies students at Kean University doing their MA Thesis. They’ve already experienced this mode, as it was how I co-taught the Networked […]
It’s really not that difficult. If you can rationalize being part of an enterprise that profits from the sale of hate ads… provides a space for external entities to promulgate recruitment programs aimed at undermining our culture… can take millions of dollars aimed at influencing a political election… can compel media producers to create click […]
In some ways, I do miss 2009. Working last month with David Porter, I was reminded of a thing I was playing with back then… David remembers it may be better than me! That’s when I was fooling around with this browser thing called Cool Iris 3D Wall for the first round of what then […]
