OK, so here is a little frustration for you. There are all these technology people writing books about digital information, the digital age, and the use of the internet and technology, do you think I can find one book IÂ’m looking for in e-reader format or just in e-book format? Not a one! So here is a call out to […]
OK, IÂ’m starting to get really frustrated that I canÂ’t visit blogs at blogspot. I am in the middle of reading Anne DavisÂ’s EduBlog Insighst and she links to two other blogs, both at blogspot.com. Is there anyway I can get the rss feeds from others out of their bloglines account? If I had the rss feed address I could […]
Please tell me IÂ’m not the only one that loves to see another Ed Tech Coast to Coast podcast show up in my iPodder? I was listening to the podcast as I was publishing my 84 student blog articles this morning (about the average coming from the 128 5th graders).

The meeting lasted about 2 hours as we looked over each […]

I, like Will, was amazed at the clarity of the call a half a world away. It was the first time I had used Skype to the States and I […]
I title this ‘Learning is Conversation v1.1Â’ because I think it goes very nicely with what John wrote titled Learning is Conversation. He posted his first, so IÂ’m calling mine v1.1 In the Professional Development course IÂ’m teaching using Moodle there have been some great conversations around information and moving teachers into the mind set of Connectivism learning, Connectivism teaching, […]
I have a meeting next week with my administration about flex scheduling of tech lab time. So, I thought I would put my thoughts to yÂ’all in the blogosphere to help me out and give me your thoughts on the following. I work in an elementary school and we are trying to move to what they call a “Flex Schedule” […]
The Library of Congress is launching a campaign today to create the World Digital Library, an online collection of rare books, manuscripts, maps, posters, stamps and other materials from its holdings and those of other national libraries that would be freely accessible for viewing by anyone, anywhere with Internet access So tell me again this isnÂ’t about information. 🙂 Full […]
If you aren’t reading the news coming from techlearing.com I suggest you start. I saw this news today and wanted to give a personal congratulation to Mr. Mangus. Mr. Mangus has a completely textbook-less classroom and was honored by receiving the No Child Left Behind Act American Star of Teaching Award. Just how is the impact of a textbook-less classroom […]
