(This is for Slice of Life with Two Writing Teachers but is inspired by #ds106′s Daily Create) Yesterday, over at the Daily Create (a must-follow, by the way), the prompt asked us to take a picture of nothing. So typical of the Daily Create, to ask us to be creative with the ordinary. But I […]

Yesterday’s Daily Create looked interesting: Exploration video. Maybe you’re exploring a new land, the depths of quarks, outer space, the mind, the soul, etc. Given the excessive rain, I started thinking about exploring the mind, vaguely thinking of some sort of psychedelic movie, or even La Belle et la Bête which I’ve grabbed more than […]

I was curious about this Gopher thing. I had heard of it before, but I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone actually using it, even back in the day. Here’s an image I used to use with classes when talking … Continue reading →

#text The prompt this last week in Dave Cormier’s P2PU #rhizo14 ‘course’ was to consider the question “Is books making us stupid?”. This video is my response.

Here is the thing about time zones– no matter what time you schedule something, it will be a crappy time for people elsewhere on the globe. That is a problem I cannot fix. But is a good thing to have the TDC planted in your head early, […]

You will need to click on the thumbs to see the action. A few gifs for the 1840s GIF party: call for submissions | Tate. I’ve already posted them on Tumblr, but thought I’d add them here. See the previous post for more details.

One of the first poems I have my students write is a Ra […]

One of the things we’re doing in The Internet Course is mapping out ideas and concepts from the students’ research, visualizing connections between them and how they relate to the major topics of the course. I sort of stole the mapping … Continue reading →

Thank you Jonathan Worth for directing me to this. A favourite few words, remixed in a wonderful short video. The gap between my taste and my ambitions is bound to be big initially - Ira tells us.

The best work is still like a sanded board, rounded over and smooth to the touch.

The class has come up with a lot of great concept maps so far. It is interesting to look at all the different approaches too. There’s no one right way to do it, although some end up being more useful … Continue reading →

Branches of 21st century skills illustration. Sometimes you come across work that is clearly a labour of love - combining useful ideas with a gift for art. I love this.
