It is now a month after BLC08 and a recent comment has stirred up some thoughts that sent me back to a blog draft I wrote months ago. On Defragging my brain after BLC08, Angela Kerns mentioned that of my nine ‘take-aways’, #3 and #4 resonated with her:
3. Face-to-face meetings with your network are powerful… […]

A Blog from Nothing
I remember when I put a ClustrMap on my blog. I saw one on a novel study wiki and thought it would be great for student wikis & blogs, to help students see that they have a global audience. It took me over an hour to figure out how and where to […]

Reflection upon re-reading and re-posting:
This is the last post that I have to move and so I thought I would put my reflection first.
I actually posted this after I went back to the beginning of my blog and started the reposting process. There is only one other time that […]

Do not go quietly into your classroom

I spent Friday morning with 22 student teachers and a couple teachers from my school. My goal was to introduce them to the world of web2.0, wikis, and del.icio.us. Well 2 out of 3 ain’t bad- I didn’t really get into delicious beyond an introduction. That aside, I think this group of future teachers really […]

What did I do B.G. - Before Google?
Category: connecting online, digital native, learning, networks, pairadimes, reflection, technology | Leave a Comment
The first time I saw the term ‘B.G.’ referring to ‘Before Google’ was in Karl Fisch’s ‘Did You Know’ presentation. Tonight that term came to life for me.
Here is an eye-opening statistic I discovered about myself today:
Total Google searches: 3633 (Since April 30th, 2006, and only counting when I have been signed into Google.)

“I speak digital” :: Digital Exposure
Category: Pedegogy, digital native, education, learning, pairadimes, technology | 1 Comment
I’ve bounced some digital immigrant/native ideas around a few times. Now I have one more thing to add.
When I was young my sister had dolls that spoke. This was so amazing! You pulled a string in the doll’s neck and as it recoiled the doll said, “Hi Ma-ma” or some other short phrase. Later the […]

After my last post I went to hear Alan November speak at an afternoon Pro-D session. I then read Brian Kuhn’s blog post and added a comment, which I have edited slightly and included below. In the process of writing this comment I realized a valuable lesson, which I will discuss below the comment:
