    • It Takes More Magic Than a Saw to Support WordPress Media Embeds There’s some textbook theory of design as a thing where some entity identifies a need, some objectives, stuff is scoped, and handed in a neat handy packet to a developer. I had that happen. Sort of. Once. That’s not even a fun process; the ideas I like most and work from are unanticipated, and often […]

    • My Un-Representative That image above has more red than blue, but is far from mostly red, or all red. But for the “change” we are all getting in 2017, it might as well be all red. And while Arizona is a “red” state, looking at the tallies from the 2016 Presidential election, the Republican candidate “took” the […]
    • Brad Gets The Treatment Oh Brad. I think the policy here at CogDogBlog could not be more clear on the front door. But still, you persist in your inane request. So here is your treatment for your email bearing the subject line “Accepting Guest Posts on cogdogblog.com?” On Tue, Mar 7, 2017 at 8:15 AM, Brad S. <brad@crappyurl.poop> wrote: […]

    • On Fakebook: Down, Not Out, Not Rolled Over In my own interest of sanity and focus, I’m letting loose for now my recent rage spate on Catfishing and fake accounts in FaceFakebook. I hit a similar spike a few months ago with the Timothy Boostrom phase. It’s not a giving up or giving in, but more just putting it in pause until the […]

    • Down in the Mine Looking For Vectors cc licensed ( BY NC ) flickr photo shared by Jack Zalium I’m slinging the axe, and going deep into the mine, building a new syndication site for my colleagues at Virginia Commonwealth University. It’s a bit under wraps, or so I guess, so I can be deliberately vague. But the idea is to document […]
    • Inside and Outside the ds106 Assignment Bank Theme cc licensed ( BY NC ND ) flickr photo shared by Scott Maxworthy It’s almost ready to share. I’ve been working on and off since August (a project I thought I could do in a month) on turning the ds106 Assignment Bank into a customizable WordPress theme that could be used for any kind of […]

    • on acknowledgement Disappointed with people I consider online peers who are up in arms about #OpenBadges & #ConnectedLearning. As if ideas are ‘owned’. Gah. — Doug Belshaw (@dajbelshaw) March 6, 2012 I am fairly sure I can draw the dots as to what Doug is Gah-ing about. Badge bashing is flashing about, but it was hardly “up […]

    • Dominoe’s Day on Flickr Thanks to Martin Weller, I was tipped off to today’s flickr blog theme as being D is for Dalmatian. Of course, given my favorite of favorite lost/found/lost/found dogs, I had to take a peek. Interestingly, I spotted 53212 photos found by searching on “dalmatian” sorted by interestingness (well I did not actually count, I used […]
    • Making Bread is Like Making Bread cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog There is something… metaphorical…. about making bread. We are rich in quotations about it A quotation at the right moment is like bread to the famished –The Talmud quotes Think about it. You can just go out and buy mass produce, processed stuff– cc licensed […]
    • The Two Last Men With some irony, during one of my longer flights recently, I watched two different old classics about men being the last living things. I’d previously seen the more modern version I am Legend with Will Smith, but had read that it pales next to the original it was based on, Vincent Price’s Last Man on […]

    • Reborn: Five Card Flickr Stories It’s been on my to do list since August, but I finally got the last mile of code done to restore my Five Card Flickr stories site to life. If you had not played with this before, the initial description tells it all: I’ve been ultra interested in the idea of telling stories in pictures. […]

    • Student Voices Podcast Available As previously noted, last Friday we assembled a panel of 7 Maricopa students who shared with out Ocotillo Online Learning Group their experiences in our online courses. This is a rather small sample of the stories that are “out there.” Just the diversity within this group (self selected volunteers who would be willing to stand […]
    • Shuffle Come Home flickr foto Shuffle Come Homeavailable on my flickr For weeks I was sure I had lost my iPod Shuffle… and today I found it stuck in the pocket of a pair of pants I had not worn in weeks. Charge up, little iPod, we got some running to do! Lost, now found. I was conviinced […]

    • Another Great Student Panel We’re getting some great responses and interest in a second student panel we assembled in the last two weeks. Back in February 25, 2005, we had a 5 member panel for our ePortfolio Dialogue Day. For that one we even managed to capture and post the audio from the 55 minnute session. The following Friday […]
    • Ocotillo Presentation Under The Belt Today was our presentation on our “Ocotillo” project titled Maricopa’s Ocotillo Evolves Again: 18 Years of Faculty Led Instructional Technology Initiatives: Since 1987, Ocotillo has been a faculty led initiative to promote the effective use of instructional technology. Like its desert plant metaphor, Ocotillo has evolved again into four new action groups, leading a range […]
    • Session Review: Computer Hacking as an Educational Tool Whew! I found a stellar presentation session today…. all hope is not lost . Margaret Hvatum and Gayla Stewart from St Louis Community College presented “Computer Hacking as an Educational Tool” (no web links ;-): For education to happen, students must be interested and engaged in the subject material. Computer hacking interests students and motvates […]
    • I’m Bored As Hell And I’m Not Gonna ……. zzzzz It’s time to do away with the silly conference bags and the wasted trees contained within. The whole concept is so, 1980-ish. I may get some organizational dings for this, but I am compelled to complain once more about the staleness of the educational conference format. Somebody please stick a fork in it. This League […]

    • Sit. Down. Roll over. RollUp RSS Feeds Trying to teach and old RSS feed some new tricks? At first RollUp seemed like a nifty idea- build a customized collection of RSS feeds into one site, theoretically coalescing a pile of feeds into one sensible pile. And that becomes a web page you can customize some layout- colors, fonts. And then that single […]
