BarCamp Bangkok: I’m not a geek
May 28th
There are those moments in life when you get put in your place. Times like on Saturday when I found myself sitting in a programing presentation at BarCamp Bangkok where they were talking about and other things that just went over my head.
Let’s put it this way. If you think Ruby on Rails sounds more like a movie than a programing language you’d be as lost as was I.
This was my first BarCamp and I really enjoyed the format. Basically it’s a huge unconference that goes like this.

SLearning 2.008 Pre-Conference
Aug 17th
Yes we try and make the Learning 2.008 Educational Technology conference a little different each year. We don’t just talk about changing the was we teach and learn, we try and model it as well. We don’t always succeed but it’s about taking risks and pushing ourselves as educators. We can not expect educators to go to a conference where we tell them that they need to take risks, learn something new, and reflect without us as conference organizers doing the same.
We continue to try and do that sometimes failing, sometimes succeeding. We’ve already learned a lot this year about the More >

I’m ready for NECC are you?
Apr 19th
So I’ve been in Second Life now on and off for a couple days. I decided to get in here just in case the edublogger meet up decides to have a virtual meet here while at NECC.
But I have to tell you…this is quiet incredible. I visited Will Richardson’s home today. I couldn’t find the door so I had to teleport out to another location. I spent about an hour walking around the island looking at real estate trying to figure out how to tell my wife I think it’s time for us to buy a house.
Will points to Kevin Jarrett which More >
