A second look at zoho
A couple weeks ago I found a post by Tim Lauer where he described some web forms that he was creating using Zoho. It’s been a while since I played with Zoho and I have to say they’ve done some gerat improvements from the last time I was on the site. I played around the other night with Zoho Creator. […]
It's not about Web 2.0 it's about learning!
Today I had the pleasure of doing a short presentation for our IB Theory of Knowledge class. I was invited in to give a lesson on how knowledge is changing in the 21st century. My first thought was “How do I tell students knowledge has changed, when they already know that?” I set up 3 Skype accounts for students to […]
Learning 2.0 Conference 10 Days and counting
Ten days and counting until the Learning 2.0 conference. I’ve spent the past two days putting the finishing touches on the conference schedule. I do wish I was attending this conference and not helping to create it. There are some great sessions I’ll make sure I post a link to the schedule once it’s up on the conference site. I […]
Fear + Unknown = Bubble
Some great discussion from the e-mail I posted from a former student of mine who is finding his new school more restrictive than what we had in place here last year. I say last year because we have tightened the belt a little on students here. He was also in my teentek.com class last year and hacked up our themes […]
What we do when we put them in a bubble

I’m starting to feel abit tech-deprived. Here are the rules on the library […]
Fear Factor
I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about fear and the fear some educators grown-ups have about technology. When did we stop exploring? When did it all of a sudden become dangerous to click on something on our computer that we really don’t know what might happen? Is it do to viruses? Or are we just afraid that […]
Nothing like Sunday night fun
I had a great time last night. I’ve loaded Skype on my wife’s new laptop, we sat on the couch together and I showed her how it works. We work at the same school, but our offices are on the complete opposite sides of the campus, so I thought this could be a great way for us stay in touch […]
No rest for the weary
Not sure why I continue to try to do it all. You would think I would learn not to bite off more than I can chew and not leave any time for blog reading or writing. However, I have done it again so bear with me for the next couple of weeks as I try to get things under control. […]
