What do you use, how and why do you use it?

This popped up in the CoveritLive “Hanging at my desk” a few blogs below. But the more I’ve thought about it, the more I believe it deserves its own blog. Twitter, WordPress, Flickr, GoogleDocs, Jott, and Diigo. Are these any good for us in education? If so, how and why? What makes them special, or […]

Meu amigo do Brasil

For those of you who follow me, I humbly suggest you also keep an eye on Joao Mattar. Joao teaches at Anhembi-Morumbi University in Sao Paulo. He and I met through Second Life, a portion of which he documents in this very kind blog he posted about my upcoming trip there. http://blog.joaomattar.com/2008/07/30/a-j-kelton-em-sao-paulo/ We’ve worked together […]

Hanging At My Desk

My travel plans have changed, I’m still in New Jersey, but that should change again tomorrow. In the meantime, I’ve been coming into work but still taking a break from blogging, etc… Since I’m at my desk, I thought I might kick open a CoveritLive session – come by and say hello! [UPDATE: For some […]

Downtime

Greetings, all. I’ll be taking a short break from this blog while I do some traveling. But once I return I’ll be back to testing out applications and writing about all the things that will be going on starting in August.

CoverItLive – Take 2

Ok, so a few people (some publicly, some privately) mentioned that they’d have helped but I was only online with CoveritLive for about 20 minutes. Well, now I’m sitting at home working on other things so I thought I would give it another shot, and this time stay on a bit longer. So, here it […]

CoverItLive

Today’s tested application is CoveritLive, thanks to Chris, who left a comment in my blog from yesterday. At a recent conference (NMC in Princeton, I think it was), Chris was using CoveritLive to post notes about what was going on. I liked it and asked him about it later on but never got a chance […]

UStream.tv

Today I decided to test USTREAM.tv. I’ve seen any number of people recently streaming from their various locations, such as conferences. It was a way to either bring those remotely to the presentation or to share a presentation (such as a keynote) with others. In October we will be holding the first meeting of the […]

Ping, at last!

Ping is clearly one of the coolest apps I’ve stumbled across in a long time! As I’ve gotten deeper into my exploration of Web 2.0 apps, each one seems to have a place for you to update your status. I was only using one of those places since who has the time to go to […]

Ping and Plurk – sounds like a cartoon.

Back from a week off I was ready to sink my teeth into some great new Web 2.0 stuff. Not entirely meant to be, I guess. The first thing I wanted to try was Ping.fm. I am not able to keep up with updating ALL of the sites I’m now trying to test out and […]

Am I on time delay?

In October of 2006 I’d read about this thing called Second Life. I went to the web site and determined that I did not have the time to invest in looking at this, it seemed far too complicated. What it did remind me of, though, was a few years back how Dr. Jack Baldwin LeClair […]
