In today’s podcast, I discuss the next best thing to attending NECC – having others attend NECC. Earlier this year there was a contest where the winners would get to attend the National Educational Computing Conference for free.

In today’s podcast I discuss the pros and cons of BubbleShare.com. Yes, I’m still wrapping up my experiences from last week’s conference, but don’t worry – today I’m only going to mention it a little. It seems that every time I go to an event sponsored by the Discovery Educator Network they teach me how …

In today’s podcast, I talk about Steve Dembo’s presentation on “Office 2.0.” Last night I slept in my own bed – something I hadn’t done since a week ago, thanks to a trip to Pennsylvania to see my father-in-law and attend the Northeast Regional DEN event. Yes, I know I’ve been talking about it a …

I’d like to make a clarification on my last podcast. When I talked about Second Life not being the best place for education, I was referring specifically to the standard model that most administrators would probably try out. Mainly: “Hey, let’s make a virtual classroom and have all of the students hang out in the …

My 62nd podcast is mostly my opinion of Second Life. Second life is a fun, addictive game that can be as cheap or as expensive as you want it to be. Since users are encouraged to create modifications/additions/etc. there is a growing movement striving to see how Second Life could help educators. I’m not convinced, …
Academic Aesthetic Podcast 61
In my 61st podcast I’m starting my end-of-year inventory and talking about the difference between message boards and blogs. Not much in the way of show notes for this one, I was just talking while I worked on organizing the things in my office.
