EduGeek Journal

We change a lot around here at EduGeek Journal, so I decided to create a page for archiving the old looks.  See the Memory Lane link under the header banner to relive or greatest hits and misses.  Some of the functions on the v1.0 archive still need to be repaired, and not every link works, [...]

Now powered by WordPress!  Moodle is a great tool for delivering online courses, but they really don’t do much with their blog feature.  We needed some more flexibility, so I have spent the last month or so transferring everything over to this new WordPress.  All that and a spiffy new theme, based on the Fervens [...]

We have all wondered about reading those customer-submitted testimonials online. Anyone can sign up and post, so are those for real… or are they just plants by the company? I had always given companies the benefit of the doubt – hoping that they were keeping their nose out of anything shady. It seems like my [...]

Or tell us how much we stink! Some of our attempts at becoming an actual “online community” have pretty much tanked (ahem… that Ning site of ours… has anyone actually had any real success using Ning? I hope so – it’s pretty cool). Katrina brought up how there is no EGJ page on FaceBook – [...]

Boy – shouldn’t have pressed that button! Issues with permalinks and archives not working have now been repaired. The comments problem is going to be fixed soon. Sorry for the three people that tried to comment and couldn’t… we upgraded to php 5 here and apparently weren’t ready. Guess we loose some Geek cred for [...]

We know the whereabouts of Katrina and Erin. Erin just finished up a Master’s thesis and Katrina is on maternity leave. But what has happened to Darren? Since his favorite team suffered a crushing defeat with the Super Bowl (by not even making it there), all things EduGeeky and Darren-related have been quiet. I told [...]

If you are like me, you get random emails, IMs, Jaiku/Twitter notices, etc from random people about random cool Ed Tech stuff. You try to pass them on to as many people as possible, but you inevitably leave someone out. Then, you remember the people you forgot and can’t find the original message anymore. Wouldn’t [...]

Not only do the EduGeeks keep a vigilant eye on the cutting edge of Ed Tech news, but we also break free from our computers every once and a while and interact with the real world. If you happen to be at any of the upcoming events, feel free to stop by and say [...]

Beautiful things can happen when people actually start to use social networking tools. For example the first annual (or monthly, or bi-monthly, or whatever it becomes) EduGeek Gathering. It all started with this comment on Katrina’s Jaiku:
“I just touched an iPhone!”
The jealously that poured forth from those of us that haven’t seen one turned into [...]

EduGeek Journal: the place to dream and share ideas about Educational Technology. This post is the first of many to come. So, if you are reading this, I guess we need to get on the ball and post some more stuff. Or you are searching through the archives and have hit the very end of [...]
