Pogue shared a letter that’s got me all riled up again…
I’m a high school teacher. Like all high schools, we are dealing with a problem that sucks time, energy, and resources like a black hole: cellphones. We waged a similar battle a few years back with iPods, and although stakes seem much higher now, the […]

Jane Nicholls is looking for some help with some podcasting research she’s doing. She’s looking at the question “In what ways does podcasting enhance oral literacies?”
If you could provide an example of your students demonstrating any of these things I would love to hear about it and incorporate it into my study. Please […]

Can you guess what’s on my mind in this podcast? That’s right, the two hottest buzzwords in the EdTech community right now. Twitter and Second Life. I’m about as bullish on Twitter as you can get, and I’m really starting to sink my teeth into SL now. On the verge of […]

How many feeds do you have? I’m not asking how many you subscribe to, rather how many do you own? Do you have a blog or two? A del.icio.us account? Have you posted a YouTube video? Do you have a podcast? Share photos on Flickr? All of these […]

I’m not sure how many people discuss the pros and cons of allowing public blog commenting on students blogs at their seder table, but that’s what’s on my mind! The Kathy Sierra situation and Stop Cyberbullying day has left a taste in my mouth worse than matzah with a heaping helping of horseradish. […]

Ladies and Gentleman, this is the third podcast in as many days. Being published a day behind, but that’s no big deal. And I do believe that I’ve now published as many podcasts this week as the last 12 months combined. Yikes!
Topic: Filters… *grunt* What are they good for? Absolutely […]

Two for two! This podcast was recorded yesterday, but I didn’t get a chance to upload it till now. Audio kinda stinks, but sometimes you just have to make do with the tools you have. The fact that I could still create a podcast despite the fact that I had no equipment […]

I know, I know. It’s been freakin’ forever. But yes, I have uploaded a podcast. It’s about 16 minutes long. It doesn’t have a fancy intro. In fact, there’s no music or editing at all. No guests, no new resources for you, heck it probably doesn’t even merit show […]

If you are confused about what podcasting is, just let the ninja explain podcasting to you. He makes it oh so simple!

Yikes, this is starting to become a habit again! This podcast recaps a few conversations that were scattered around NECC and the DEN National Leadership Conference. I’ve heard from many people that the most valuable part of the last few conferences they’ve attended have been the conversations that have occured with other attendee’s […]

If you haven’t explored the Library of Congress website lately, you should. I spent some time in their booth and NECC and was impressed by what they have to offer there. While I wasn’t impressed with the layout of the site, the content is well worth wading through. I also discovered that […]

I know, it sounds crazy, but I’ve got a podcast to share! It’s the night before NECC and if all goes well, I’m going to have a bunch of audio to share throughout the conference. July is actually going to be a pretty busy conference month, so I should have stuff to share […]

Photos have been uploaded. Appearantly I took a ton of photos at the ‘advanced’ session and not so many at the education session. Too busy running around with a microphone and being inspired by what everyone was saying I guess.
Click on the link above to see them all, but here’s a few to […]

I really hope that people don’t think I’m just shamelessly promoting my new company, but so much of this just has me jazzed up. I spent about 90 minutes showing our regional managers some tips and tricks about the finer art of blogging, and they are just running with it. Not only is […]

Dave Warlick posted a year end podcast containing a few hundred interviews with teachers encouraging them to think about what the classroom of 2015 would look like. Unfortunately, I have to disagree with the projections of many of the teachers. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I have a pessimistic view […]
