    Weir

    by
    May 17, 2021. This is the weir on the Nation Rivcer at Casselman. I took a 2km hobble there and back this afternoon to try to work my aching muscles back into shape. Today started out with back-to-back meetings first thing, then I got some project writ...

    Lilacs

    by
    May 16, 2021. The lilacs in the front yard are almost in full bloom. This might have been my 50mm lens's last photo, as it appears to have been a victim of yesterday's crash - the glass just popped out; I pushed it back in to take the photo, but it's n...

    Playing with time and crossing boundaries: multichronicity #activelearning

    by
    An analysis of the tweetchats revealed that neither synchronicity nor asynchronicity are able to capture the essence of what goes on in such a conversational space. Neither get close to capturing the value of the learning experience. Multichronicity provides a way of looking at the design of experiential learning in settings that accommodate learning ecologies: the academic designer must consider the quality of time spent in and navigating through a learning experience.

    Farm Equipment

    by
    May 16, 2021. It was a beautiful warm sunny Saturday, perfect for a bike ride. I thought I might visit family; there was no answer when I called so I figured I'd swing around Russell and see if they were in on the way back. I never made it past Russell...

    Apple Bouquet

    by
    May 14, 2021. I liked the way this small cluster of apple blossoms were set against the trunk of the tree. This was taken on a short walk during a Costco trip. I had a couple of meetings today and did some project writing, along with the usual newslett...

    Apple Blossoms

    by
    May 13, 2021. I was sure a couple years ago that the crabapple tree was not long for this world, but it has rebounded and this year has given us a spectacular blossom. I finished up the autopost feature today (which was more complex than I would have l...

    Little Castor River

    by
    May 12, 2021. I was able to get away for a brisk bike ride at the end of the day. This is the Little Castor River where it crosses a back road near Casselman. Today was Andrea's vaccine day, so now we're both partially protected (second jabs for both o...

    Pink Trillium

    by
    May 11, 2021. I saw a number of pink trilliums in Forest Park today on a bike ride after work (which for the record was cold and wet). Got some paperwork done this morning and wrote a blog post this afternoon; a good day overall. The 30 km bike ride in...

    Violets

    by
    May 10, 2021. These tiny flowers (see blades of grass for comparison) grow all over our front lawn and back. Far better than plain grass! Today started with a presentation to EDEN, and in the afternoon I wrote a section for a report on AI for learning ...

    The Trail Looks a Little Wet

    by
    May 9, 2021. We went for a hike in Pinhey Forest South today and found parts of the trail a little, um, wet. We had to trek through the brush to detour around this flooded bit. Still, it was a nice day, only a little rain and we found a lot of variety ...

    Hidden Gem

    by
    May 8, 2021. Riding in the rain on gravel today I discovered this hidden gem behind a cedar hedge half way between Tayside and Moose Creek. It's on a little back road called Norman Drive, and there are several other beauties along this rode. Overall, w...

    The Cap

    by
    May 7, 2021. This is my well-worn Blue Jays cap sitting on the shelf behind my chair at the kitchen table. As you can see, the cats use that shelf a lot. Kind of a busy day today, all indoors, as I did a meeting and got actual working versions of gRSSh...

    Apple Blossoms

    by
    May 6, 2021. These believe it or not were in the parking lot at a Tim Hortons. Nice day, a little cool, but good enough for a short walk. Did a disastrous video in the morning, then spent the afternoon figuring out what went wrong in the morning. Yes, ...

    DS106 Advice

    by
    The biggest advice I can give for this class is time management. The class is super fun especially the assignments, however if you don’t manage your time correctly, you won’t be able to enjoy the process behind creating those assignments. Also, enjoy the assignments, even if you have an hour […]

    Crabapple Blossoms

    by
    May 5, 2021. The crabapple tree in the back yard has appeared to have regained its health and looks like it will give us a full tree of blossoms this year. If the photo appears a bit dark it's because it was taken outdoors on another cold, wet and grey...
