Spinning some Gifs
Jim Groom and Scottlo pointed out Oxford Dictionaries USA Word of the Year 2012: ‘to GIF’. This got me watching a few old clips and movies looking for something to gif.

Say it like Tequila
I see another round of DS106 has started, I have too many balls in the air at the moment to do more than watch it flow through my reader. Then I saw Week 2: Bootcamping It: This week, we’re also going to ask you to do your very first digital storytelling assignment from the ds106 ... -
Creation and Connectedness
How can we create (anything) if we are not connected?

It isn’t an outright question but rather one of an assumed response; you can’t. We need to be connected.. -

Understand that I write this from the perspective of an adult student, in my mid-30′s, in the midst of a successful, demanding career, with a family and home to manage…all while balancing a school agenda, pursing ... -
