cogdog on I’m seconded now in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for the ASCUE annual conference. This is their 50th annual event, that is no typo, fifty as in Five Oh, as confirmed by people today I met who have been coming for 15, 20, and one gentleman, all 50. The invite to keynote this conference came quite […]
cogdog on I’m just emerging out of the internet hole. Stand back, this is Yet Another Post Laden With Nostalgia and a rally for self documentation. Feel free to go back to stroking through social media. It started with a silly tweet. Meaningless. Just word play. It's a fact that there are no facts. — Alan Levine […]
cogdog on I never expected to be blogging about EDUPUNK, much less presenting on it. But the folks running the CIINOVApp conference here in Guadalajara asked me and colleagues Tannis Morgan and Brian Lamb to bring it back (we are here by invitation from the University of Guadalajara a week before our UDG Agora Project events). It […]
cogdog on But it is a blog. Or is it? What am I talking ’bout, Willis? No, the title was a talk I gave today at the Justice Institute of British Columbia, at the invitation of UDG Agora Project manager and colleague, Tannis Morgan. She asked me to come to JIBC and preach the gospel of WordPress […]
cogdog on At 8:00 AM EST today I was keynoting the K12 Online Conference while at a beach hotel in Western Puerto Rico. Well not exactly. At 8:00 AM I already on the road, driving back to San Juan for my flight to Chicago. But I was keynoting. This is because this online conference, the presentations are […]
cogdog on Yes, as my friend Barbara Ganley teased me last week, today i did a fancy pants ****x (TEDx) talk here in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This was made possible by the incredibly generous/gracious Antonio Vantaggiato who invite me to speak at TEDx USagrado Corazón. The theme was “Think + Act”. More may be written about […]
cogdog on “BS? How Can you say that? You’ve been promoting digital storytelling for 10 years!” Today’s keynote was a play on perception, I never explicitly defined what BS stood for, did I? Sometime in April, after the return from 5 months in British Columbia, I was catching up with Barbara Ganley vis Skype and said something […]
cogdog on As I said in the opening, the idea for this session proposed for the DML Conference was totally my idea, so if it flopped, I am happy to take the blame and if it went well, I give credit to the co-presenters. Fortunately it was the latter, Laura Gibbs, Ben Werdmüller, Erin Richey, Jonathan Worth, […]
cogdog on Time travel is rather exciting, but it does where you out. Or maybe that was staying up until 3:30 am getting ready for a talk? I shall garner negative sympathy for doing a keynote in Hawaii, but when the invitation comes… take it. I’m totally honored to be in the poster with other luminaries for […]
cogdog on This was the academic theme for today’s presentation at OER14 in Newcastle, UK by Rochelle Lockridge, Mariana Funes, and moi, “A DS106 thing happened on the way to the 3M Tech Forum“: DS106 (http://ds106.us/) is a computer science course in Digital Storytelling at the University of Mary Washington (UMW), framed on principles of the web […]
