This weekend on NPR’s On the Media, I heard an interesting segment about how to begin codifying the method by which we recognize and attribute sources of our information on the web. Now, I’m an academic, so I tend to live and breathe American Psychological Association (APA) referencing. However, with the advent of Twitter and Facebook, these media’s constraints don’t [...]
Over the next few posts, I’m planning to share strategies that I recently used for mobile learning (mlearning) and teaching in one of my courses. I hope you find these strategies helpful, and please let me know if you have any questions. In full disclosure, I didn’t come up with some of these ideas. Instead, colleagues, particularly on Twitter, we [...]
Celebration Today is “My Twitter Story” Day! I’m so excited, because we can physically see the power of networks. This small project started with one of my students. People are influenced by other people. My colleagues and professional learning network responded.

HootCourse is a Twitter tool that allows you to create courses, invite students, and automatically adds a hashtag for your course. Like other Twitter tools, it performs a search based on the hashtag and keeps [...]
‘m excited to say that it’s finally happened to me. Today, one of my presentations made it to the home page of Slideshare — even it was only for a little while.
I recently had a facebook friend post a celebratory post about reaching 400 friends. Of course, comments of congratulations followed this. However, I could not help but wonder how many of the people he would recognize or speak to if he met them on the street?
I told you I would share some icon sets that I really love. So, let’s start with animals. Lots of fur and feathers. Here’s a few sets that I think are super well done and are super easy to use. These will work in Word, Powerpoint, or on the Web. Two of these come with the original files, so you can edit them into what you need. Go on and download. Nobody’s watching …
