Presentation Brainstorming
I’ll be running workshops on PowerPoint design and blogging (& podcasting netcasting) at this weekend’s Powering Up With Technology Conference, and I am looking forward to it, but I just got notice asking for presenters at this year’s MICCA Convention and I don’t want to do the same thing as last year. So how about …
Academic Aesthetic Netcast 115
This netcast is coming to you a day early. I usually record these things on Monday afternoons, but tomorrow afternoon I’ll be presenting a workshop on blogging so I don’t know if I’ll have both the time and the energy to record this then. I am hoping to get the audio from tomorrow’s workshop up …
Creative Commons Video
The good folk at Creative Commons have “revverized” their promotional videos. That means if you click on the ad that shows up at the end, you help them make some cash. Not bad, huh? [edit] The nifty flash player was too wide for the current formatting of my site, so I replaced it with a …

Thought of the Day
One should not confuse talking to students with communicating with them. I just walked out of a 1st grade classroom where I didn’t say a word for the first half hour, but the kids still followed directions and made some great looking projects. I’ll post a picture or two later.
Educators using Flickr
Blogs are an easy way to reach a broader audience, originally uploaded by Misterteacher. Quentin D’Souza over at teachinghacks.com spent some time back in September creating a list of Flickr accounts owned by educators. It’s in no way a complete list, but it’s sorted by age group (The age of the students, not the teachers!) …
Google Education: Too New for School?
In spite of the fact that he seems to be under the weather, Bud has some interesting things to say about Google Education (and to a lesser extent, Discovery Educator Network). He hit several different angles, but the one that struck me the most is as follows: Seriously, though. There’s always someone trying to make …
Academic Aesthetic Netcast 113
In honor of Halloween, Here’s a not-so-serious list of the top 10 scary things in education: Top 10 scary things about education. 10. Due to the emphasis on standardized tests, local universities will look at SAT scores more than class grades. As soon as your entire curriculum is revamped so that your students have a …
