2¢ Worth

I’ve been sitting or the past couple of hours, in the lobby of the Holiday Inn Express in Dillsboro, North Carolina, in the heart of the Smokies (unimpressive mountain range in Eastern U.S.). I have been working on NECC session and workshop proposals, not the most fun thing to do. Descriptions need to […]

The striking thing to me about that milestone (one billionth Internet user) is not the enormity of the number, however. More interesting, perhaps, is that the one billionth person to jump onto the Web could just as easily been an eight-year-old kid from Sweden or the South Bronx (or, for that matter, an eighty-year-old from […]

I can’t really get my mind on work, as much as I have to do. My NECC proposals aren’t in yet, I have much more work to do on the K12 Online Conference address. I have two recorded interveiws to make into podcastes, and all I can think about is a weekend off. […]

After spending all day, yesterday, driving around Raleigh and talking into my camera, this was an interesting thing to find this morning.
Podcastingjust turned two years old and this weekend is the second annual Podcastand Portable Media Expo in Ontario, California. With that in mind, hereare PFAs 10 Podcasting Movers and Shakers. This isn’t a Top […]

Today is the K-12 Online Conference — for me. I’ve been asked to deliver the keynote address, but being that the conference is online and quite virtual, it doesn’t really matter when I’m delivering the address. It doesn’t really matter when you are watching, reading, or listening to it. It’s kinda weird, […]

Sorry, but I didn’t take any pictures of me in my son’s shirt.  I thought about it I couldn’t move that well.  I couldn’t even get an ink pen in my shirt pocket.
So, to satisfy your desire for details, and to move with the flow of confessions, I once opened my suitcase, getting ready for […]

Setting up the Summit Room

I had another of one those singular experiences yesterday, one of events that I know I’ll be carrying with me for a long time, and that will color a lot of what I’ll be talking and writing about in the future. As you know, I have been working in the […]

I’ll have to wear my son’s shirt again, because I must have been in the zone yesterday. It was a fantastic morning with just over 700 educators from central Ontario yesterday. The address was also videocast to eight other locations across the Bluewater District on Ontario.  I talked about the stories around education, the […]

This will almost certainly be a presentation that I will remember for all time. Because, today was the day that I found my son’s light gray (size 15 1/2) dress shirt packed in my luggage rather than my light gray (size 18) dress shirt — and * had to wear it. It […]

I’ve already written the first draft of tomorrow’s Technology & Learning blog, based on a new report from the PEW Internet in American Life Project on the future of the Internet.  No sooner do I put that away, but another report comes in, “26 Million Americans were Logging onto the News or Information about the […]
