For every answer there are 10 new questions and many contradictions, such as: process v producttacit v explicitbest v good-enoughmetadata v folksonomytext v imageweb site v web serviceinput ...

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."

Looking forward to ALT-C
September 08, 2008
ALT-C at Leeds promises to be, technically, the most interesting ever. It is good to see ALT pushing the boat out: Crowd Vine and Elluminate are starting to extend the conference into virtual spaces and for the first time there is a declared fringe F-ALT. ALT-C has always attracted radical learners and teachers and has been one place in ...

ARGs - and the rest - covered in Guardian Technology

The programme (download pdf) has over 200 sessions in 15 parallel streams running from about 0900 - 2100. From an educational perspective this is somewhere in the formal/informal learning axis. But I am not ...
