    Microteaching activity

    by

    This week I’ve been at the NMC conference (and Monday I was sidelined with a summer cold, no fun), so I’ve skipped out on most of this week’s fslt12 activities. I’ve been thinking about this microteaching activity, and what I can teaching in 10 minutes. The activity reminds me of …

    NMC Day 1: session overview

    by

    This blog post might be long…but what the heck, a long post every now and again is OK ;-). These are my thoughts on Sessions that I attended. Some were great…and some not so much (they had potential but did not deliver)

    NMC12: day 1 highlights part 1

    by

    This year the New Media Consortium conference was held in Boston and hosted by MIT, so it was a good opportunity to attend given that it is my own back yard. In this post, I don’t plan to recount blow by blow each session, but rather post what seemed most …

    What? DS106 started already?!

    by

    Hmmm…I was glancing over at my calendar telling me to work on DS106 the other day (an alarm that I set last spring for this summer), and I decided to head on over to DS106 and check it out…only to find out that it had started already (week 4 if …

    It’s the start of a new MOOC!

    by

    Well, actually, it’s the start of two new MOOCs!

    I know that Change11 and DS106 are still going, but change11 seems to be on life support. It seems to me anyway that the same 4-5 people are posting, and even though there are interesting people in these final weeks, most …

    Goal Setting in MOOCs

    by

    Last week I had a conversation with Lou McGill, a researcher collecting data for the Change11 MOOC. Our conversation was quite interesting and it seemed to be revolving around learner self-awareness and goal setting. I did take th change MOOC survey, but I have no idea what my responses were …

    Old Office

    by
    Nothing really dies on the internet :-)  Sometimes that is a bad thing, sometimes it’s a good thing!
    A few years back, I had wanted to join a social network (like MySpace and Facebook) but where the language was Greek.  I discovered a few like Zuni (facebook-like in that it…

    The New Office

    by
    This past week I’ve been trying like a mad man to find a photo that I took in 2005, using Photo Booth on MacOS 10.4 when it first came out.  At the time, I was employed by Media Services and worked with a great group of people.  Alas, my office…

    Elmo’s lonely

    by
    A couple of years back I was taking a lunch-time walk around the harbor walk which goes by my university campus. In the summer I walk every day (3-5 miles) at lunch time, but when the weather gets colder I tend to cut back. In any case, this was taken…

    Recaptcha madness

    by

    Happy February to all!

    I thought that this week’s DS106 assignment should be something random, so I went with the illustrated recaptcha assignment suggestion whereby you are given the task to illustrate one of those random recaptcha images.  I must have hit that button to give me another captcha many …
