Blog Posts for thought Feb. 8
Feb 9th
I’ve spend the past week doing a lot of blog reading. With 40+ students taking the grad course here at ISB and another 8 that I’m teaching for PSU makes for a lot of blog reading in a week.
I predicted this year would be about building value with these tools and that I personally was going to focus on bringing the conversation to people who are open to hearing it and are ready to hear it.
These courses are just that. Some people never before hearing the word ‘podcast’. While others have wanted to dive in but were waiting for the right opportunity.

Conversation with PSU students
May 26th
I’m wrapping up what will be the last grad course I’ll be teaching at PSU for awhile. Moving to a new country, a new job, and starting some other projects will be keeping me busy for awhile. I’ve really enjoyed teaching the course Teaching & Learning in a Networked Classroom. A course that is ran on an open wiki that explores how networked learning is changing our classrooms and exposes students to a host of web 2.0 tools.
To wrap up this quarter I thought I’d do a podcast with the students on their final thoughts about the class. Kim, Sherry, and More >
Questioning the way we teach
Oct 21st
Sharon, one of my students in my PSU course that I’m teaching this Fall recently wrote this after reading George Siemens’ Knowing Knowledge
As a teacher, that is a powerful statement, something to ponder. It makes me question how I teach, am I preparing the students to have the skills to obtain knowledge rather than feeding them knowledge? Has technology changed the way we teach, in some ways, but are we as teachers really preparing the students for the 21st century? Is “know where” replacing ‘know what” and “know how”?
Now that’s profound. I love it when teachers start to use these tools More >
New bloggers and 5 days to China
Jul 26th
Can’t believe it’s been 10 days since I posted a blog entry. It’s been good though…spent 3 days in San Diego visiting my sister-in-law and time with family and friends over the other days has made it worth being disconnected.
The time I have been online has been focused on the graduate course I’m teaching for Plymouth State University.
The students have all set up blogs now, I thought I’d take this opportunity to introduce the blogosphere to six new bloggers (Michael…you can’t call yourself new )
Here is some of the thinking they have been doing the past couple weeks.

Vacation, Class, Collaboration
Jul 3rd
I’ve been back from NECC for a couple of days and back into the Mariners having gone to their last two games of the home stand the last couple of days.
I’ve been taking it easy this week before my graduate course starts next week for Plymouth State University. It’s my first time teaching a graduate level course and I’m a little nerves. It’s great to have a network though as I found out that Dean Shareski is teaching a course for the first time this summer as well, so we’ve been doing some planning and trying to come up with a More >
