- Jim Groom and ds106 Radio There are as many stories of openness about ds106 (http://ds106.us), the open course on digital storytelling, as there are stars in the sky. But Jim Grom shares what may be the most unexpected outcome of a class- a web-based free form radio station that emerged from the community, and is now, as he says, "a […]

- Have a Blast on Your Birthday WikiMedia Commons photo posted by Donald Swanson I caught the NPR story on the radio this morning that today was the 30th year since the major volcanic eruption at Mount St. Helens (what do you buy a volcano on its birthday, and technically, no not really its birthday).

- Ocotillo Retreat Today Today is my big catered affair. The 2004 Ocotillo Retreatis the 17th one for the Maricopa Community College’s “Ocotillo” program— something started to provide a faculty-led focus on issues of instructional technology.
