Pardon the shaky hand held, but the Rev. does keep moving a lot.
Plus my batteries died about 8 min and 22sec into the talk. I had new ones in within a min. I needed an Indy 500 pit crew to do a 15 sec swap or should have started with [...]
Hey everyone, thanks for a great day. Here is my post on the conference and the links to my slides, “script,” and audio from the presentation. I also have audio of Jeff McClurken’s presentation that I will get to him as soon as possible.
I’ve posted mine on Flickr too. http://bit.ly/twZV

We came up with the following different paths to increasing use of blogs by students:
* Digital Identity orientation given to all incoming freshman – could be done as peer-to-peer training
* Formal required blogging as a part of class

- The web has a long tail, and students should be introduced to methods for crafting their web presence before they get to college
- A web presence is ultimately the responsibility of the user, but schools providing access to online tools should provide granular control for their users and work [...]
There was a reference in Jeff McClurken’s presentation today on slow blogging and Barbara Ganley.
Curiously, this article appeared in the NYT today about slowblogging…and there she is!
I am interested in pulling together examples of what we can say is learning using WP blogs…or any blogging platform for that matter.
As we try to “sell” our institutions on the importance of supporting/not shutting down/celebrating our explorations in teaching and learning with these tools, we need to have concrete examples of how [...]
