Looks like my favorite photo sharing website has made some recent changes, replacing the “beta” in their logo with “gamma” to show just how far they’ve come. The first thing I said to myself when loading up Flickr this morning was “Holy cow, I’ve got a LOT of photos on each page here!” Yep, by …

Steve Dembo knows your permanent record!
Do you? Seriously though, I was hoping to record a podcast tonight but my voice just isn’t into it right now. Instead, how about you listen to Steve’s latest endeavor? He even has his PowerPoint online for you. During his presentation he makes a good point about starting off with a strictly controlled environment, then …
Save the Edu-Blogosphere
Blogs in education are endagered. Why? Read what Weblogg-ed has to say about it. Then get ahold of your representatives in Congress and tell them how you feel. Yes, I know they’re mainly targeting MySpace. Unfortunately, the bill is so broadly written that most if not all blogs will have to be banned at school. …
You’re online. No, really!
“I don’t like it when people read what I write.” That’s a direct quote from one of my Art Club kids. I’ve met many students (and adults) who had that same opinion, but this particular student had just finished posting to her Art Club blog. And she was very surprised when she walked over to …
Academic Aesthetic Podcast 60 – Baffled By Blogging
My 60th podcast is a recording of my session at MICCA. (I talked about blogging, as you can see in the title.) I promised to have it up on the same day, so here you go. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Links: discoveryeducatornetwork.com Blogging 101 (My Wiki about blogging) Room132.com (The class blog maintained by Bre Pettis) Weblogg-ed (The …

Other MICCA Attendees
Wondering who else has been mentioning MICCA in their blogs? A quick search on Technorati.com brought up the following results: Will Richardson did a workshop here, and even graced my own session with his presence. Cristina Runkles had a session on podcasting next door to my blogging session. Being the tech savvy person she is, …
MICCA Day 2 Keynote
Day 2, and the Keynote speaker is Deneen Frazier Bowen. Her presentation is apparently called “The Natives Are Restless.” I can only assume at this point that she’ll be talking about the distinction between “digital natives” and “digital immigrants,” but from a slightly different angle. (Otherwise, she wouldn’t be the Keynote.) HA! She’s really doing …
Session 4: Using NASA’s Online Problem-Based Learning Activities
Last session of the day, and believe it or not I’m not attending the one on unitedstreaming. It’s worth seeing, but I experienced the same session at the PETE&C conference a while back. With unitedstreaming out of the picture, it was almost a toss up as to which session I should see, but I finally …

Session 3: Let’s Make Literacy Accessible for All!
I promised myself this morning that I wouldn’t attend any sessions that mentioned the words “PowerPoint, “Office,” or “Inspiration.” Not because the programs are bad, but because conferences like this are often beyond saturated with sessions that show how to use those programs. I want something more. So now I’m sitting here waiting for this …

Lunch Musings
The last time I attended this conference was two years ago, and things have changed a lot since then. Most notable is the fact that MICCA is taking up a lot less real estate. Back then they took up three floors, with the sessions on the 2nd floor, administration, registration, souvenirs, etc. on the 1st …
