No video this time, just wonderful low quality audio! Wait … what? Show notes: The wiki is getting more spam than legitimate edits. I’m dealing with the spam now, and I’ll get to the real edits soon. No, really. I’m beginning to like Ning more and more, mostly because it doesn’t crash Firefox as often as it used to do. The next Teachers 2.0 Groupcast will be recorded on the 13th. Come join in the fun! Planning on upgrading the version of Drupal that’s managing…Continue Reading “Academic Aesthetic 145”
Sorry for the delay, now on with the show! Show notes: Another nice audio comment by Chris Craft. Where’s your audio (or video) comment? (And yes, I haven’t edited the wiki recently for the same reason I haven’t been podcasting.) To make a podcast I need time, energy, and inspiration. Usually I lack inspiration, but this time I needed time and energy. Inventory is done! Hooray! Are there times when we replace analog technology with a digital equivalent that isn’t as good? Is digital always…Continue Reading “Academic Aesthetic 144”
No time for banter, here’s the show and the show notes: I start out with a “phone call” from Chris Craft. It seems he has a complaint or two. (You can send me your own comments, too!) My wife bought me a soldering iron. It’s cool, but scary. (I could get burned.) Bre Pettis has a cool tutorial that’ll help me out. I hope to one day be good enough to make a solar powered robot. A lot of teachers want to start using blogs,…Continue Reading “Academic Aesthetic 143”
I couldn’t stay for the whole thing, but I thought you’d might like to hear a recent online conversation in which I was the token rude American amongst a crowd of British educators. OK, so I hope I wasn’t that rude. You know me and self-depreciating humor… In any case, you can find the show notes to the skypecast here.
This should have gone up yesterday, but instead I went to see a movie with the wife. For some reason theaters frown at customers using laptops during the movie, even though they only tell you to turn off your cell phones and pagers. They said nothing about laptops! They should be allowed, right? Um, they didn’t think so. Ahem … well, in any case, on with the show. There is always someone who will resist new technology. If there isn’t enough buy-in, even the best…Continue Reading “Academic Aesthetic 142”
Episode 82: What’s Hot in Maryland & Social Network Product [ 18:07 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (1019)Do you listen to the Connect Learning podcast? You should. He started long before I ever did. Chris Craft called me a Warlick groupie. I’m not – I’d never be able to afford the travel expenses.
This video brought to you by a tag from Durff’s Blog. Better late than never! My 10 tips to be successful: Give thanks. Network. Unwind. Do at least ONE productive thing every day. Make something. Do something you haven’t done before. Be honest, but not THAT honest. Never say no to free stuff. Have a “Plan B.” Plans C and D wouldn’t hurt, either. “Don’t TELL me what you’re going to do, SHOW me!” Other items of note: I’ve created a wiki to showcase lessons…Continue Reading “Academic Aesthetic 141”
Behold, my 140th podcast! View it! Cherish it! Pause it at random moments and laugh at the funny faces I make! … no, wait. Scratch that last one … In any case, most of this video was taken during day 2 of MICCA. Show notes: She didn’t leave her name, but I think it’s a plug from Gwyneth Jones! Another plug from Will Richardson! WILL RICHARDSON!! Getting in early. Why? Picking a session. Sometimes the lesser known presenters are just as good but with more…Continue Reading “Academic Aesthetic 140”
My first of two days at MICCA, so of course I’m playing with my video camera again. I presented today, but only a small section of this episode addresses my session. Show Notes: Free Online Resources wiki MICCA website For more from the conference, see my other blog posts.
