For some reason this morning, NetNewsWire Lite (my desktop OS X RSS reader) was slow in updating the feeds, so I started poking around the interface. In the bottom left I noticed a small double arrow control labeled “default”, and I thought… “what does this do?”: Why it’s a menu! What does it do?: It’s […]
The newest mind-blowing add on for del.icio.us users must be Revealacious billed as “revealing the way you use del.icio.us”: Revealicious is a set of graphic visualisations for your del.icio.us account that allow you to browse, search and select tags, as well as viewing posts matching them. * SpaceNav (demo), which allows you to explore the […]
Regular CDB readers (or new ones) know I can hardly type one paragraph without creating at least 6 typos. I am sorry, I opted out of keyboarding class in high school (spending my adult years typing was not in my road map). I cannot type and thus my spelling goes out the window. Sure recent […]

In Rob’s eLearning Processes Using Small Technologies Loosely Joined, he makes the case for consideration of free, open source tools for creating learning contgent, […]
A colleague mentioned the other day that they saw this blog on the front of the web site for the Center for Teaching & Learning at Mesa Community College, the biggest of the 10 Maricopa colleges. So surely I had to drop the work I was doing and check it out (egos need feeding, right?): […]
