I just had a fantastic day with the Arizona Technology Education Association conference on the campus of Arizona State University. It was the third and last of their three conference series, but I’m looking forward to hooking back up with the AZ folks at the reception at NECC in July.
One treat was making the […]

I spoke, yesterday, at the TechForum conference in Chicago. You probably know that already, since I blogged the keynote by Hall Davidson. As an additional note, it is evidence of blogging’s conversational quality, that Ewan Mcintosh posted a comment, with links to a web site where people can explore using The SIMS as […]

It’s TechForum 2006 in Chicago, and Hall Davidson is doing the keynote. The speech title is “The World is Shrinking”. He just said that one thing that is definitely shrinking is the distance between imagination and […]

I’m at the SRTTC conference in Greenville, North Carolina, the home of East Carolina University. I attended this very fine school in the 1970’s when it was known as the biggest party school in America — not that that has any pertinence to any thing. My administrators presentation on Web 2.0 yesterday was […]

I’m copying and pasting this in from Ewan Macintosh’s weblog, Edu.Blogs.Com. Hope you don’t mind, Ewan. I’m getting ready to present a session at a regional conference, and I want to get this post out there.

I mean this in the broadest terms possible, not merely the historical and cultural […]

Since I put my last Larry response out as a blog entry, I’ll give equal coverage to this one. You can read the entire conversation at First the Bad News and A Response for La Larry of 52. At any rate, we are all on the same side:

Larry,
Thanks again for the continuing conversation. […]

In 1989, I presented at my first educational technology conference, the Southeast Regional Technology & Teaching Conference (SRTTC), in Greenville, North Carolina, home of East Carolina University. I talked about FrEdMail and using e-mail and newsgroups in the classroom. I believe there were seven people in the audience. Very one else was […]

Joseph Poletti, my good friend, and Ed Tech Director in beautiful and historic Carteret County, wrote a wonderful blog entry this morning in Haulin’ ‘Net 2006. He talks about content filters and the classroom and who controls the content. This is a very good read and very well expressed.

Keeping Genies in […]

Did you know that people are making six-figure incomes by blogging? ….BLOGGING?
The moral statement is that people, through their own resourcefulness and a developing writing style, are producing an information product, a blog, that people want to read. Through the magic of Google Ads and other advertising facilities, they are drawing income, by […]
