How can you be #4life without over 600 blog posts about ds106?
When John Pederson (or “Balki Bartokomous”?) launches a softie like this https://twitter.com/ijohnpederson/status/646833331045163008 how can I resist the urge to remix? Not only are the reaction shots brilliant., but the whistler’s facial contortions are priceless. This was about 25 minutes of iMovie twiddling, it’s so easy a cat could do it I downloaded the Amazing Whistling […]
I do not even want to look to find out the last time I officially completed a ds106 assignment (probably last time I taught, Spring 2014). But I was so inspired by Bill Genereux’s new one, A Scene We Didn’t Get To See: Create a short video that shows a scene from your favorite TV […]
Twas not my plan to make a mocked up book cover, even before breakfast. But so it goes, when the urge worms its way into my cranium. I cannot let go til I try it out. I woke up to back scroll twitter, finding the eminently sarcastic, funny, insightful, and a large number of standard […]
I got a message request from Mariana Funes Want to do new bumper for 106 spell starting Sept 6 can you record “Under the #106spell on a sunny Sunday on #ds106radio” for us when you have a moment? with a link to the song by The Kinks. She is referring to the DS106 Good Spell, […]
Internet, you so fickle. Without much thought, you ca share something frivolous and people are all over it. You’re on fire. You get an idea in your head you think will get spread, and it falls like a lead rock on Jupiter. I’ve only marginally followed the story, but seeing Brett Gaylor’s tweet Robot hitch […]
Well, you might only be able to go back to 2007. And Google Streetview often does not provide too many exit doors. But this seemed like a cool discovery, simply at random. Last weekend I was driving north from home on highway 87, and coming down the hill from the top of the Rim was […]
File this one in the Unexpected Wonderful Internet Things That Started With an Almost Random Click department. I do like to know when someone comments on my flickr photos. In a previous version of the mobile app, what it showed for notifications matched the settings you make on the web for your flickr activity. You […]
Whilst passing through various discussions, tweet streams, blog posts about education, I end up feeling like Michelle Flaherty because I am always reaching for my experience and examples from ds106 (I won’t embed the video 😉 While not much actively involved lately, since 2011, I have been an open participant, a face to face course […]
My “involvement” in #rhizo15 is pretty much listening to the tea leaves in twitter, today’s bits had a fair bit of rumbling about “Content is People!” When I read Simon’s post I really had expectations of a DEVO song. But in reading/watching Dave’s question about the Myth of Content, the “people are content” thing is […]
List crossing. Attending (and presented) yesterday at the Modern Language Association Conference here in Vancouver. I mingled with more rhetoricians then I usually do. I got to meet Sean Michael Morris and Jesse Strommel of Hybrid Pedagogy fame. My session yesterday was part of a panel on Visionary Pedagogies for the Twenty-First Century: Teaching the […]
