    • Aiming for the Joslin 50 Medal With a bit of uncertainty on the exact date, I am fairly sure tomorrow marks a milestone making me eligible to apply for a bronze medal from the Joslin Diabetes Center. That means making it to 50 years living with Type 1 Diabetes (at least doubling the scare tactic Dr Silver at Camp Glyndon tried […]

    • On the Road / Off the Road creative commons licensed ( BY-SA ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog From this perspective, actually laying down on Nevada highway 266, there is but one direction to go. I am the only person on the flickr using bellyontheroad as a tag; there is some sort of message there I won’t dwell too much upon. This […]
    • Clichés are Written 60,000 Times Faster Than Finding Sources creative commons licensed ( BY-NC-ND ) flickr photo shared by caddymob It’s time to start issuing citations for pooping on the internet. The sheer irony of what came in via a trackback (still value among the flotilla of spam) to my still un-solved pursuit to find the source, the actual credible source, for the oft […]

    • YouTube in An Alternate Universe of Niceness I’ve excited that we brought back the within the web storytelling assignment to ds106– the one where we ask students to use a browser tool to “re-edit” the content of an existing web site to give it a whole new meaning. IN many ways this subverts the web in a playful way that says, I […]
    • Daily Create for Kids? One of my favorite pieces of the ds106 fleet of awesome is The Daily Create – something we built together last year to provide a platform for regular creative challenges. While we use it within the ds106 courses taught at UMW, it is a low overhead way for people to participate in our (non-bovine) online […]
    • Five Card Stories with 8th Graders I was superexcited when Heather Durnin invited me to visit her grade 8 students in Wingham, Ontario, but the bonus was being able to connect her class with Clarence Fisher’s one up in Snowy River, Manitoba. This came togather over a few emails in the last 5 days, and we settled on a demo and […]

    • The Jim Groom Post Keynote Recap cc licensed ( BY NC SD ) flickr photo shared by giulia.forsythe As one of the converted, its hard not to be electrified after Jim’s keynote at Open Ed 2011– I can only guess what the energy was like in Park City. I was fortunate to be listening in with Gardner Campbell from his office […]
    • Are You [ds106] Experienced? This is a follow up on Gardner Campbell’s message last night when we did a ds106 radio show, echoed today by Jim Groom at his evangelistic Open Ed keynote. Gardner said something about “We dont need Open Education Resources, what we need are Open Education Experiences!” My thought now, given Jim’s passion (and all of […]

    • M*A*S*Hing the House Built on Multiple Choice Straw I wish I could remember that light bulb turning on moment when I realized succeeding in the school game had little to do with studying, knowledge, or intelligence– but learning how to score on multiple choice exams. My skills carried me through many standardized tests and college exams where I can really say I got […]

    • Rock the Academy The Video Inspired by the brilliant twitter love video by Martin I have been thinking of trying my hand at the craft, so here is a promo video for the upcoming NMC Online Symposium on Rock the Academy: Radical Teaching, Unbounded Learning. So I stretch the stereo type of “traditional” academy, but it’s all in fun. And […]

    • Back in Action (the photos are 404 for now) Just returned home from 5 days of being a sightseeing fool up and down the Rocky Mountains following last week’s EDUCAUSE conference in Denver. I’ve got a big of pile photos to flickr up, but it will be delayed following a harrowing experience having accidently leaving my digital camera at a restaurant in Colorado Springs, […]
