EduGeek Journal

Okay, maybe the title is a bit over-dramatic.  I just couldn’t come up with anything else snappier. Harriet and I have been presenting our Social Learning Environment Manifesto at a few conferences lately… and in many ways it does feel like we are trying to start a revolution.  The reality is that we are just [...]

TxDLA was a great event this year. Harriet and I did our usual rebel-rousing there (along with other EduGeeks such as Katrina, Darren, and Shaun. Yes, they are still alive). Creating a session PowerPoint is usually difficult for us, since we usually don’t prepare any preset material.  We like to discuss, interact, and have some [...]

Harriet and I are going to be presenting our latest ideas on how to change online education at two upcoming conferences: Educause Southwest in Austin on February 18, 2010 and TxDLA in Houston on March 23, 2010. Come by and say “Hi” if you happen to be at either of these conferences.
Rapid changes in online [...]

Earlier this year, Harriet and I went to a few conference presenting on “Will Web 3.0 Change the Way We Educate?“  It was a fun presentation that involved play dough, audience participation, and our New Vision for the Learning Management System.
As we were getting ready to present another round of conferences in 2010, we realized [...]

If you were at the session that Harriet and I presented recently at the Sloan-C Emerging Technology conference, you probably saw us take a different approach to the session.  Well, other than the play dough and Tupperware Shape-O-Ball toys we used.  Props are just standard for us.  No – what we first did was asked [...]

One conference down, one more to go.  I’ll be heading out to NUTN 2009 next week.  But this past week I was at the Sloan-C International Symposium on Emerging Technology Applications for Online Learning.  Quite a mouthful.  I saw some interesting sessions on some new products that I plan on blogging about in the future.  [...]

Some of the EduGeeks will be traveling to conferences in the near future, even doing some presentations.  Come hang out with us over a meal or something and talk geek stuff if you are at any of these.  Of course, the economy could change our plans for these, but we’re still planning to go as [...]

Last week I presented at the National University Telecommunication Networks‘ 2008 conference. I have to say that it was one of the best conferences I have ever been to. Not that others were bad, I just really enjoyed this one. Maybe it was the beautiful mountains of Park City Utah. Or maybe it was the [...]
