I woke up at 3:30 this morning. It’s not uncommon when I’m delivering a keynote address that day. It’s partly nervousness. It’s possible that this morning had more to do with the chocolate cake that I ordered last night, resting on a trio of chocolaty truffle’s. Allow me to pause for just […]

I am thinking of handling Friday’s TechForum new web session in a modified unconference style, facilitating conversations in the room, rather than just teach — in the Web 1.0 fashion.  If I should decide to do this, and if there is a lull in the conversation, what are some questions that you would ask a […]

Clint Kennedy’s Podcasting Session with attendees spilling out into the hall

Will Richardson once said that, “When I’m not blogging, it isn’t because I do not have time to write, it’s because I do not have time to read.” I think that this statement says a lot about blogging. In my case, I’ve not […]

I’m sitting in my hotel room, getting ready for the CECA 2006 conference, here outside of Hartford, Connecticut. The theme of their conference is Communicating In A Global Society — and they are taking that theme seriously. Each attendee will receive a free iPod Nano. Let’s pause for a moment for affect.

Brenda and I are rolling down the rails on the Silver Star, bound for New York City, where I’ll be speaking at the ERB conference tomorrow (pdf). It’s relaxing and romantic, and aside from rail work being done north of Raleigh, necessitating a bus ride for about 30 people from the city to the […]

As a counter-point to my virtual address, Brenda and I are back at the Raleigh […]

I am getting ready to deliver a keynote for the Minnesota STEM Digital Content conference. They hold all of their science teacher conferences here at the Science Museum of Minnesota, which has a relationship with the state association of science teachers. The auditorium here is magnificent, with eerie DNA sounding music playing from […]

I don’t know what this is, in downtown Saint Paul, but it’t pretty magnificent…

I can’t thank enough, the busy and courageous educators who have organized and continue to maintain the K12 Online Conference. Last night was amazing, even if a bit stressful for this cranky old guy. This morning, I had even more fun reading through the online notes recorded by people who saw the keynote […]

It was that.  The day started with lab work for an upcoming check-up.  Needles.  Then there was a 12:30 telephone panel discussion with folks from eMints, HighTech High, and other high places.  A bit intimidating, but I learned a lot from the other contestants.  The discussion will be transcribed into an upcoming journal article.  I’ll […]
