Category Archives: web2.0When I am not working one of my 4 jobs or taking care of my wife and son, I can usually be found hammering away at my computer, preparing for the above conference. We really, really (no, really) want people to join the fun and make all this hard work worth our blood, sweat and […]
So the premise is simple, and totally appealing to the vain and narcissistic among us. You let a primitive software application pit your friends head to head against one another, deciding which is the _____-er of the two, on a wide range of topics: smarter, more generous, hotter, would rather have dinner with, etc. The […]
Here’s another thought-provoking video which touches on some of the same themes as my last post and the video contained therein.
Actually Did You Know 2.0 is an official update to the video entitled Shift Happens by Karl Fisch (author of The Fischbowl) and Scott McLeod (author of Dangerously Irrelevant). These guys are always hard at […]
Here is a thought-provoking video I came across over at think:lab:
From the creator, Michael Wesch:
a short video summarizing some of the most important characteristics of students today - how they learn, what they need to learn, their goals, hopes, dreams, what their lives will be like, and what kinds of changes they will experience in […]
Time to break out the ol’ thinking caps…

For years, I have struggled to find consistent real-world connections between education and community. The following is a series of discussion points and questions I have arrived at in considering possible connections. I don’t presume to have reached any definitve answers. I’m still trying to narrow the field of questions at this stage.
After reading, your […]
Over the weekend, I decided to try to fill out my LinkedIn network a bit by sending out invitations to contacts who might be interested. I sent out about 100 invitations, mostly to friends and colleagues who were not yet registered LinkedIn users. I was pleasantly surprised at the response–nearly 50% have accepted so […]
Just wanted to drop a quick note to inform you all that my school has just launched an English learning blog which will take the place of the message forums that we hosted previously. All of the English learning tools linked are much more dynamic and just a click away.

This video clip’s title–Love, Internet Style– was so cheesy, I almost didn’t watch it. Really glad I did.
