Confession #1: I had planned on calling this post, “Edupunk or edubunk?”
bunk: nonsense- a message that seems to convey no meaning
That was before reading this simple, but very powerful post by Jen D. Jones. Now I need to change my approach. My main point sits under Confession #3 below.

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.

Reflections: Visit Counts, Technorati, Comments and Ego: A Good, Bad, and (almost) Indifferent Post
Category: Learning Conversations, blogging, connecting online, education, pairadimes, reflection | Leave a Comment
An honest look at my blog.
The Good: • This site, elgg.net, is not going to be called EduFilter (seems my e-mail wasn’t the only complaint). Elgg is now EduSpaces, a name a number of us recommended - though I bear no claim to my voice being listened to since I also offered a dozen other […]

I have been participating in this on-line conference for the last few days (or rather nights!) This is the introduction to the conference that convinced me to participate:
“The evolution of teaching and learning is accelerated with technology. After several decades of duplicating classroom functionality with technology, new opportunities now exist to alter the spaces and […]
