Thinking about learning.

Over the past few months I have spent a great deal of time thinking about learning. Clearly, having applied for and been accepted into a PhD program, I’ve been thinking about my own learning. But part of that process was thinking about how others learn. I knew I didn’t want to take a very scientific […]

Theme

My previous Word Press theme was Hemingway.  I really like it – it was different, it was clean.  Unfortnatly, it was also kind of boring.  There were no widget available and it listed only the last 10 entries and there was no way to go further back than that. So I poked around at the […]

SnapSession: Zamzar

Have you ever gotten a file in PDF and wanted it to be a word document? How about a file in a format your computer can’t open? Ever wanted to read a great article but didn’t have the time, even though you have plenty of time during your commute (too bad you have to watch […]

Help Comparing Netbook Models

(the following was also posted to the SLED list.  I will [hopefully] add any helpful info posted there into comments here) Sorry to repost a similar message, and thanks to the folks who responded to me off list, but things have gotten a bit more complicated.

SnapSession: TextTheMob

Sarah Robbins recently told me about a presentation she did using a Web 2.0 tool called TextTheMob.  The tool is designed to get the audience involved in the presentation, lecture, class, event, etc….  I decided to check this tool out to see how well it passes the 15 minute SnapSession test. Set up was pretty […]

Old posts never die, they come to WordPress

I’m tired of trying to maintain more than one blog.  I didn’t do this on purpose.  Over time, I’ve started one blog, then another, then another.  As mentioned recently, I’ve finally decided I like WordPress the best (at least for now).  So what I’ve just started doing is to bring old blog posts from other […]
