Warning - Toondoo Is Addictive

My Advice - Stay Away from Toondoo it is way too much fun.

Hours will pass in minutes, it is great for experiencing "Flow Theory" but not good if you need to get work done.

I mentioned in the forum earlier that I found a cool link to ThinkFree in my new college alumni networking site... tonight I found something else that was interesting. It's the blog of another Beloit grad who is an innovation journalist/consultant and she has some interested innovation references in her blog's sidebar. She also blogs about this… Continue

What is Web 2.0?

I have been on a mission lately to find out what Web 2.0 really is all about. I really enjoyed the video on the main page that explained Web 2.0. Still, I am not sure what it really entails and how it will revolutionize the web.

I am hooked on the WEB 2.0, learnertwopointo, the whole 2nd run at all that we are and can be doing with technology and ITS (Instructional and Information Technologies) use in our learners world. The potential is huge; the obstacles are too. Teachers time is a big obstacle as is an approaching point of exhaustion with just one more new thing. When I was working in higher ed. I attended one of the first internatonal conferences on Internet2. That was in 1998 or 9…

It's a Way of Life

So, I was chatting with a friend on IM tonight and it occured to me that one facet that's been missing in this discussion is that we keep talking about adding these tools to our practice. Or transforming our practice to incorporate the various technologies.

The problem is, that's not how the tools work.

It's 9.30pm here in Colorado. This is the online prime time. The Right Coast is winding down. The Left Coast is ramping up. It's the middle of the afternoon in Adelaide, but… Continue

Trying to decide

Trying to decide if this has a place in my job. ....
I am just getting my teachers to buy into Moodle and we have a digital portfolio software that I am pushing. Digital Storytelling is big this Spring. Is this a way to tie it all together? I tried Elgg (new name now) - but this seems a bit smoother and not quite so involved.

Howdy!

How-do everyone?

This is a great idea! a little MyS*ace for the teaching and learning crowd! ... and timely too! I'm teaching a course called, "Emerging Technology in Education" next quarter and plan to use this as a bouncing pad with my graduate students. Like I said in my profile, I'm a Research Associate for the Center for Electronic Studying, a division of The Center for Advanced Technology in Education at the University of Oregon, but they also - once in a while - let me teach a…

Just the noise of me kicking the tyres to see how this works.

Quite nicely, it has to be said.

Sustainability and School Finance

O.k. -- so I've been obsessed with this lately, but it's something I really do worry about. How do we fund School 2.0 (Sorry, Steve, I'm a principal, I've got to look at it from the school level...) when we're barely funding School 1.0 in our cities?

Hello? Is this thing ON??

First impression.

Is anybody there? I can't see if anybody else is here with me or not.

Interface is pretty simplistic an that's probably a good thing.

Love the google ads. They add that certain je ne sais quois.

Second impression.

Why are we here again?

Ok. I'll put a lid on the snark for the moment and go back to trying to figure out what pieces of this are doing which.

Two Disconnected Social Networks?

Okay, so I'm pretty sure this is my antiquated brain trying to wrap my head around this network thing, but I'm wondering why my School 2.0 stuff isn't showing up here as well??? Obviously I am a social networking neophyte, but I want to be able to do it all from one place. How do I do that?

Gamer's Perspective: Why Do Students Cheat? - Part 1
