I’m a week into my online Moodle course now. I’ve actually learned some things, and had a highly productive session involving the built-in chat and a wiki. It worked out really well–three of us worked together in the chat room, and plugged in content in a wiki-based rubric. It’s great because it gives me a […]
Moodle outside of K-12 (Sunday, June 24th, 2007)
It was eleven years ago today (almost) (Wednesday, June 20th, 2007)
My band has been in a perpetual Sgt. Pepper’s phase since day one, which was well over ten years ago. Too bad we never had Sir George Martin at the helm. Anyway, we finally got around to making a website and posting a few MP3s. Not ones with lyrics, though, because the lead singer is […]

I’ve been a little cranky for the past couple of days about Palm. Love, hate. Love, hate. Hate.

A new life for my Palm (Friday, June 15th, 2007)
I’m taking a course on handhelds in education this summer. It’s Palm-specific, for better or worse. I’ve learned so far that schools actually are using these things, mainly for economic reasons (a $200 Palm is much easier on the pocketbook than a computer costing five times that much).
The good news for me is the class […]
This changes–everything? (Sunday, June 3rd, 2007)
