Emerging Debate: Actor Networks and Connectivism
November 14, 2008
Frances Bell posted to Emerge noting the similarity between Actor Network Theory and Connectivism. I replied, "snap" because I, too (and many others: I claim no primacy), had noticed this. Frances' full post, "Is Connectivism a Learning Network" is here. I have replied to her and posted a discussion on Actor Network Theory. I fear we may be doing ...

JISC online conference and Emerge Second Life activities
November 06, 2008
I have been wandering (that is probably the best word) through several JISC online conference discussions. I am afraid it is a registration-only event so I am not sure whether you will be able to wander as well. When I have been there there have been about 25-30 people co-present (except at 0400 but that is a different story). ...

Out there? Incohate coalescent worlds
October 18, 2008

No single conclusion from the report, but an account of an incohate, coalescent sphere of frenetic activity and much more to ...

This is fun: Wordle
September 23, 2008
Just had Wordle pointed out and have been endulging in a little light entertainment. Wordle "... is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide." I guess if it catches on they will have to implement some authentication. Now you can just do stuff and name it. The first is generated from the Emerging success criteria ...
