For the last week, there has been a sadness dwelling within me, smoldering at times into an anger, and then simmers back down for a while, and then flares up again….. and eventually needed to be shared. ~~~~~~~ I am wondering when we (meaning the Personal Learning Network that I currently feel a part of) [...]
I chose to stay home, save money, plan for a fall vacation, and skip ISTE this year….at least in person. But, through the opportunities of the internet, I was yet again able to attend virtually and probably attended many more sessions than I would have if I had been there in person. (I tend to [...]
Yet another ISTE conference is coming up — which I am unable to attend in person…and there are a lot of twitter/blog conversations about it….which makes me a bit sad not to be in “the” place for conversations next week. But as I think of the conference, I think how perhaps I would do things [...]
This past week, I was able to (finally — read about last year’s trip here: http://jenuinetech.com/blog/?p=1046) travel to Texas to speak with teachers at an inservice, share at a conference, and most importantly meet up with some “old” friends and get acquainted with some new ones!! I flew into DFW and picked up a car [...]
should the presenter be able to give it again?? I know that this is a rant — but am just wondering about 2 things. 1. The price that is paid for keynoters 2. And the fact that MANY are repeating information that has not only been presented before BUT that is available now by way [...]
From Steve Hargadon: Twitter can be much more than “hey, how are you or look at this”. I need to use search and rss more to power up professional twitter use. From Chris Lehmann: You can ask a LOT of questions or you can ask just one. Be ready with that ONE great question because [...]
Last week, the METC conference took place in Missouri and I had the opportunity to attend it virtually. And I have to tell you, I think they are to be congratulated and perhaps emulated at future conferences on how to make sessions available for virtual attendees. (Especially for the big conferences like ISTE, CUE, etc.) [...]
I spent my weekend in Philadelphia, virtually that is — at the Educon 2.2 conference. They must be congratulated for a well-shared conference….everything was shared out (at this moment, I am watching the opening panel on Sunday Morning via Vokle!) And I have to give a shoutout to IAN — one wonderful student (From Temple) [...]
This blog post is at the request of Karl Fisch (http://thefischbowl.blogspot.com/) asking me to extend my thoughts: I recently attended a ustream keynote with @AmberMac (Amber MacArthur: http://ambermac.com/) and here is the link to the keynote: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/2700986 Here are my thoughts on why I thought she presented a good keynote. 1. She started the conversation [...]
My thoughts are on this post http://www.zephoria.org/thoughts/archives/2009/11/24/spectacle_at_we.html?utm_source=feedburner today. Please go read the article (if you have not and then journey back here.) In no way do I think Danah should have remained silent — in fact, if this ever were to happen again, I wish she would (or we as presenters) would speak up and [...]
