Academic Aesthetic 168: Quarter End Reflections [ 12:26 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (1205)Today I teach my last classes of the Quarter, so as I reflect on the first 9 weeks I’ve asked my students to do the same. Next quarter will be different. Why? Because it has to be. Oh, and the programming language I couldn’t remember? Scratch.
It’s about time I started publishing these again. Show Notes: Today is Day 3 with no intranet in my computer lab. More like this and I’ll start showing withdrawal symptoms.

Due to popular demand (2 people asked), here’s part 2 of my 4 part series on PLNs. As before, I’ve cross-posted it to two locations: Discovery Educator Network’s Maryland Blog Teachers 2.0 Audio and text only this time, sorry – I’ve been swamped.

Academic Aesthetic 164: DEN NI 08 In today’s show I interview a bunch of people here at the Discovery Educator Network National Institute for 2008. (I decided to not put the full name in the title.) See how many faces you can recognize. Also, my voice is giving out and I feel sick. Yay for [...]
The following was written back in June, but I’ve been sitting on it until now because I wanted to be able to take a step back and look at my writing first before posting.

Wow, 160 … that’s almost a milestone, isn’t it? I suppose I should take the time to try out something new then, huh?
