Cool Hand Luke in 5 Animated Gifs
I don’t do MOOCs. I am not a big joiner to begin with. But heck if the proposed assignments for Jim’s upcoming Digital Storytelling 106 didn’t sound like fun. So much fun that I had to do one myself, actually combine 2 of the assignments into one, using my favourite movie of all time, Cool [...]
On the Twelfth Day of Christmas – My 12 Favourite Gifts from OLDaily
‘Tis the season, eh? I’m feeling so grateful, that in addition to this year’s Nessie’s, I thought I would give thanks for the bounty that is OLDaily and Stephen Downes. Stephen pretty much does not need an introduction in our field; OLDaily is, by my reckoning, still pretty much the “paper of record” in the [...]
The Nessie Awards – 2010 Edition
Once again, it’s that time of the year. I time for pleading, needling, pandering, giving and receiving. No, not Christmas, you silly rabbit – Awards Season! I know you’ve all been waiting on the edge of your seats for this year’s Nessie Awards (this year with a new Award Statue – the old one seemed [...]
Not exactly "Against" Reductionism, but… (A reply to Martin)
(The below is a reply to Martin’s thoughtful post defending Reductionism, itself a product of an earlier twitter conversation. I tried to leave it on Martin’s blog but it borked. Didn’t seem to brook any contest from alternative points of view So I am posting it here, but really, really, REALLY not trying to ignite [...]
Free and Learning in Barcelona – A Trip Report
http://www.edtechpost.ca/free-and-learning/ I leaked this on Friday on twitter, but in case you didn’t see it and have any interest, this is what my trip in Barcelona forced out of me. It is long and messy. But it is also the last thing you’ll see from me for a little while as I sit quietly to [...]
Quick Shoot-Out – 4 Free Web-based Screencasting Tools
In an effort to lend support to the upcoming f2f JIBC/VCC Online Course Showcase and make the results of these demos more widely available, we are hoping to capture screencasts of the actual demos to share online. In order to do this in a way that works cross-platform and doesn’t require an install (it is [...]
Stillness Buddy – Software for Reflection
https://www.stillnessbuddy.com/ I recently started sitting with a sangha in Victoria. It is a wonderful experience and brings me great joy, to find like-minded people to practice with. The sangha follows the tradition of well known Vietnamese monk Thich Nhat Hanh. The other day, while reading up about the community he founded, I stumbled on a [...]
Coming to Open Ed 2010? Join us for the Mozilla Drumbeat Festival
http://drumbeat.org/festival November is turning out to be a pretty stellar month – not only do I have the privilege of attending Open Education 2010 in Barcelona, but by lucky coincidence (and partly by design), that same week the Mozilla foundation is hosting its Drumbeat Learning, Freedom and the Web Festival, also in Barcelona.If you are [...]
Tagxedo – Making Words out of Wordclouds (or "Emergence Emerging")
http://www.tagxedo.com/ So I have had it in mind for a few weeks to do something with all of the various terms around “emergence,” to me the term that has emerged (snort) as the single most important concept that can help us move away from the reductionist thinking that keeps us trapped in our current conditions. [...]
OLNet Fellowship – Week 2 Reflections
So I’m a little behind on this (since I’m now in Week 3) but still wanted to jot a few notes down, as I had some fantastic discussions last week. Meeting with JORUM – Using DSpace as a Learning Content Repository One of the highlights last week was a trip to Manchester to meet with [...]
