Greg Ritter and Co back and blogging
http://www.educateinnovate.com/ Got an email today from an old blogosphere pal, Greg Ritter, who had gone AWOL back in 2004, that he has started blogging again. Greg, the Associate Director of Research & Development at Blackboard, is part of a new initiative there to start blogging. (I can almost sense the rotten tomatoes flying at the [...]
Tag… I'm it
Out of fear that I will have 100 years of bad luck, here’s my response to D’Arcy’s tagging me: Four jobs Ive had – dishwasher – burger flipper – knowledge carpenter – strawberry picker (not in this order!) Four movies I can (and do) watch over and over – Taxi Driver – Cool Hand Luke [...]
Humboldt College Comparison of Satisfaction of Moodle and Blackboard
http://www.humboldt.edu/~jdv1/moodle/all.htm Thanks to Alan and John Arle for pointing to this presentation by Dr. Kathy D.

Will be interesting to see this once it has been deployed. – SWL
NV2006 – Best conference giveaway yet!
Like Alan, I have fairly low expectations of the shwag you get at most conferences, but props (and a link, so my tarrif paid in full) to webnames.ca for one of the best giveaways yet – a nalgene bottle (yeah, I know, if I was really cool I would have a photo embedded here of [...]
Northern Voices – The night before and the morning of
What can I say, even if I get nothing from the enitre conference, which seems extremely unlikely, having dinner last night with D’Arcy and Alan at Brian and Keira’s place (and making a new friend) has made the trip more than worthwhile. The festivites continued on into this morning (literally) as Alan, Brian, D’Arcy and [...]
BC ELN Using Blogs to Brainstorm their Strategic Planning process
http://bceln.blogspot.com/2006/01/ about-electronic-brainstorm-wild-ideas_31.html Kudos to the BC Electronic Library Network for trying the interesting experiment of using Blogger as a mechanism to facilitate collectively brainstorming by their members. As I understand the model, staff from the participating partner libraries are invited to either comment on posts, or log into Blogger using accounts that ELN has set [...]
