Blog Juice for Educational Technology

I got quite a bit of conversation out of my Blog’What post from earlier in the week, from some really smart people. I had to get my dictionary out. People made my questions much more and much less than what they are or what they were intended to be, and made me think […]

I had a great day, yesterday, introducing educators in Gaston County to Web 2.0 and blogging. Today I’ll be doing sessions on podcasting and a “Telling the New Story” presentation.
During the sessions yesterday, I introduced the audiences to Hitchhikr, as a loose example of a mash-up site. One of the teachers asked an […]

I’ll be teaching a 2 1/2 hour workshop today on blogging for educators in Gaston County North Carolina (where I grew up).  In preparation, I have tried to address a question, or a series of questions, that I have sensed more than actually heard in my blogging workshops.  Most of the time in these workshops […]

I just made some code changes in Hitchhikr that I think will make it a little more useful. When a user adds a conference, they suggest one or more tags as suggested tags for bloggers and photobloggers. Before, a visitor to Hitchhikr could see blogs and photos for the one tag that was […]

I’m home for a few hours. Because of weather issues on the east coast, I didn’t land in Raleigh this morning until 5:00 AM. Most of the day has been spent going through e-mail, making a quick browse of my aggregators, and registering the rising excitement and energy around next week’s NECC.
I also […]

Ron Eglash is one of those smart types at RPI who’s doing insanely cool and innovative things to get kids into math and science. I was just reading about some of his work involving “Culturally-Situated Design Tools,” which, as the name implies, attempt to bridge the gap between abstract stuff like numbers and stuff that matters to kids, like corn rows, Native American beads, and snowflakes. Culture + Math = Ethnomathematics. Just check out the Corn Row Curves program and see for yourself.

Provocative level (on a scale of 1 to 10): 9.7

It’s 4:00 in the morning and I should be preparing for my presentations today, here in the beautiful Farmington, Connecticut. But it wasn’t today’s topics that woke me. It was and issue that has been a frequent irritant in my mind, one that I […]

I had a great time at ALA. The talk on Flat World, Flat Web, Flat School went very well, extraordinarily well for a first time presentation. A number of people talked extensively about the presentation afterward, and I got to meet one of my blogging heros, Shifted Librarian, Jenny Levene (her blogged notes). […]

NO Intrnet Cafe…

This is my first Internet cafe. Just needed to get out of the sun and humidity. The proprietor is very friendly. People are certainly struggling here, too many Catch 22s. Most of the computers appear to be refurbished throwouts. I think I even see an Alien machine. […]

Google Library Center
Did anybody know that there is a Google Librery Center? It’s an inside scoop on using Google in the library. They also have printable posters. Everyone leaned in on that one. I’ve recorded the demo, so look for more in my podcast.
