My Precious
January 07, 2009
Regular readers will know that I'm a fan of the concept of aggregation, but I'm still struggling make it work in a practical way. Jo responded to Monday's post with a comment wondering if FriendFeed was the answer to promoting conversation around Google Reader shared items:On the face of it, FriendFeed is tailor-made for this purpose, but ...

Epigenetic phenomena
January 06, 2009
Thanks and a(nother) tippo to A J Cann for the link (via his soti bookmarks on delicious) to D’arcy Norman’s epigenetics and the institution. This hit me as an approach to conceptualising the relationship between individuals and institutions for a paper I am puzzling over writing, about the utility of participatory media (Web2.0/the social internet) to the support, ...

Adding Value
January 06, 2009
In the backtoworkmondayjanuarymorningtwitterfest, there was some discussion of new year resolutions. When I was younger, I was sceptical of the value of new year resolutions, but for reasons I don't understand, that changed a few years ago and for the past decade I've made (and kept) a resolution each year.One of the reasons I've been able to do ...

Participatory media literacy: it does matter
January 05, 2009
This post is one small link in a chain started for me by A J Cann in a post on his Emerge blog, The P word, fed from Science of the Invisible that linked to Michael Wesch’s post, Participatory Media Literacy: why it matters, referring to “… Howard Rheingold’s great little article, Participative Pedagogy for a Literacy of ...

Feeding the Elgg
January 05, 2009
Since my exchange with A J Cann, about feeding selected posts to the Emerge site, I have started this blog. In it, I have created a number of categories for my posts, such as “Community IT Centre”, and “R&D Projects” and “Emerge”. I wanted to be able to select only those posts that were tagged “Emerge” and feed ...

The P word
January 04, 2009
In Participatory Media Literacy: Why it matters, Michael Wesch writes:The surprising-to-most-people-fact is that students would prefer less technology in the classroom (especially *participatory* technologies that force them to do something other than sit back and memorize material for a regurgitation exercise). We use social media in the classroom not because our students use it, but because ...

Mad, bad and dangerous to know
January 01, 2009
I've frightened myself by working out how many blog posts I wrote in 2008. Worryingly, the total was well over 850: over 300 at MicrobiologyBytes, 475 here at SOTI, and 80 over at the Frogroom.What did I write about?Here, via PostRank, which counts inbound links, tweets, delicious links, comments, etc, were the top SOTI posts of 2008: ...

Crystal Balls
December 31, 2008
At this time of year wise pundits traditionally look back at the year just ending. Not being known for my wisdom, I'll look ahead at 2009. My prediction is that there will be good things and bad things. Some of the bad things will be:Continued contraction of free services, possibly mitigated by more uptake of the ...

Edublog Awards
December 19, 2008
I am sure all the people in the U&I/JISC Emerge community who keep and read blogs already know about the "Eddies": the annual Edublog awards, but if, like me, you spend too much time under stones down the bottom of the garden, you might have missed it. Our own Graham Attwell and Cristina Costa are hosting an awards party ...
