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… […]

For a while now, I’ve been using my blog as a learning space to reflect on professional development… and after BLC08 there still seems to be a lot to talk and think about. But there is a problem: My brain is full.
Here are some brief ‘take-aways’ to jot down before things spill out and away.

This is the end of my last post on our class Ning network for Planning 10 this term. The first link isn’t really appropriate but my students get my sense of humour by now, and we just finished talking about sex-ed, so I put it in anyway. For reasons I cannot express in this venue […]

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.)

We are influenced by so many things in our lives. Identifying what has a significant influence on us can be difficult. Here are two things that I believe can be categorized as most influential… and they both happened Monday.

The Lowest Common Denominator (No, this isn’t about Math)

The LCD
In Math, the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD) is a good thing…
it allows you to simplify an equation and usually makes the work easier. (If you were looking for a Math post go here or here.)
For the sake of this post the LCD is not good.

The Flickering (Never)Mind
Category: Learning Conversations, Pedegogy, Pro-D, connecting online, learning, networks, pairadimes, restructuring, technology | 1 Comment
A colleague and good friend sent this review of The Flickering Mind to me, wanting to hear my rebuttal. Here it is!
