The following are excerpts from lab notes taken by psychologist Dr. I. M. Nuts and sociologist Dr. R. U. There. Their study was on the effect of microblogs on human personalities.

How 2.0: Building a PLN, Part 2/4
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.
A day in the life…
The following account is fictional, so far as anybody knows. It is, however. inspired by an interpretation of a story that might be closer to the truth than an outright lie. 6:00 AM, Saturday Went to bed early last night so I’d have all day to research my report on learning disabilities (probably focusing on …
How 2(.0): Personal Learning Networks, 1/4
It occurs to me that I posted this here and here, but totally neglected to put it on my own site. Oh well. If you haven’t seen my latest creation yet, here it is. I’m hoping to record part 2 (or more, time permitting) this weekend.
Not in fact a tribal serenade…
… but still darned fun. We got to play with “Boomwhackers” at the recent DEN NI thanks to Paula White and I recorded a couple short clips with my own new toy. I think the video could have been better, but the audio’s half decent. boomwhacker1 boomwhacker2

Academic Aesthetic 165: Twitter vs Plurk
Warning: If you’re sick of hearing about micro-blogs like Twitter, Pownce, Jaiku, and Plurk, today’s podcast might not be for you. Those of you who’ve been listening for a while (at least since show 128) may recall how enthusiastic I was over a website called Twitter. I found micro-blogging to be incredibly addictive in spite …
Academic Aesthetic 164: DEN NI 08
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 …
Hangin’ out at Discovery.
Yes, THAT Discovery. They’re doing an ed-tech conference all this week and I’m along for the ride. You can be too, if you want. Most of the content I’m collecting can be found either on my Flickr acount or my Plurk acount. You don’t need to sign up for those to follow along, but they’re …
