The standard default message for WordPress: Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging! I’ve just ported all my posts to WordPress. I think this will be where I stay for a while. AFTERWORD 1 Dec 2006: Someone has found this blog when I wasn’t ready. I Continue reading Blog Five Suddenly had another connection with this topic, time for a little recap. The latest conference: m-Learn 2006 There is not much in the way of full papers on the web, you need to search a little. There is another m-learning conference early next year. There is a list of a lot of web 2.0 Continue reading m-Learning (again . . .) Nothing serious in this post. I just noticed this sign in the the Polytech Food Technology department, right near the kitchens and the bakeries: Is there no teaching going on in the kitchens? I did get a coffee however, made in the barista class: I was as good as it looks . . . Continue reading PolyTech Signs Yet another fun thing . . . I met Cherie via a friend and via skype who told me about Dean Shareski’s Blog Ideas and Thoughts. A post this week mentions yet another Google maps mashup: spelling with buildings.

The readers digest summary is found in Continue reading Participatory clture I’ve gone a little cold on Learning Journals. At least the personal, compulsory ones that are part of a formal taught course. Now I think: make them public, give them another name, add a few more tools, generate some new habits (for tutors and participants). Several comments: 1. Good stuff is wasted inside the locked Continue reading Learning Journals = vaults of good stuff It is sad that the best editors that come native with wikis are in non-opensource products. eg. Jotspot (which has just been bought by Google), Seedwiki and Wikispaces for instance. It’s to do with markup language. Mediawiki is probably the premiere OS wiki. There are several efforts to get a wysiwyg editor to work with Continue reading Wikis and WYSIWYG Learning Circuits is has their big question of the month for October as: Should All Learning Professionals be Blogging?I just thought I would have my 2 cents worth on this question. Part of my answer to this question stems from some of the dialogue we had in Florence in early October. The blog is here. Continue reading Should All Learning Professionals be Blogging? I think I answered this question in Florence. Probably. However, it is a little more complex than this for me. It is to do with focus or lack of it. A blog does need some sort of focus, and this is what I’ve lacked over the past months. I work at a small institution which Continue reading Should I be blogging? |
