My 6th Blogiversary
I write for me, I share with you, and the world seems a little smaller. Just like last year, here is my blog’s year in review: The posts I’ve written and a quote from each. I hope that you will find something that appeals to you. (Mouse-over the links to find out a bit more about each […]
My 5th blogiversary
…The wizard cleared his throat. “In a hundred years or so, everyone now alive in the whole earth will be dead – is this not so?” The pompous man was relieved. He could follow that. He nodded sagely. “It would therefore be possible for the human race to run its affairs quite differently, in a […]
Who Owns the Learning?
I found a really handy tool recently: blogbooker.com “BlogBooker produces a high-quality PDF Blog Book from all your blog’s entries and comments.” I then took the pdf and archived it on Scribd, Slideshare, and a fun (but not-so-convenient) reader called Youblisher. Bookblogger numbers links and adds them at the end of posts and does a […]
My 4th blogiversary – Reflections and Appreciation
Wow – 4 years! At the time of publishing this: 171 Post (including this one), 627 Comments (since moving my blog to davidtruss.com 2 years ago), 736 RSS Subscribers, and over 28,000 Visits (in my 4th year). To me the numbers are staggering in that I really started this just for me. But the sharing […]
My 2009 Edublog Awards Nominations
I would like to thank the following people for contributing so much to my learning. I’m only nominating in categories where the impact has been powerful and potent.

My blog is my PhD
My Learning Yesterday marked 3 years of being a blogger. What a wonderful journey it has been! I may be over exaggerating when saying my blog is my Phd, after all people like Stephen Downes have done this much work and still don’t have one. Furthermore, the focus and intent of my writing has been […]
TLITE Presentations
For the last couple Mondays I have presented to two of Betty Gilgoff‘s TLITE Classes, (TLITE- Teaching and Learning in an Information Technology Environment). I did two different presentations one based loosely on Learning Conversations and the other on This My Blog has Taught Me. Both presentations asked for teachers to contribute to a VoiceThread […]
Great Expectations
Yesterday I had coffee with Heidi Hass Gable, our new District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC) President, and blogger at “I was thinking…“. I suggested to her that she watch Lost Generation while we were discussing some well thought out ideas she shared with me about nothing less than the purpose of education. Here is the […]
