Watching the paint dry
October 09, 2008
It's been a busy day teaching with two of my BA groups having a stab at creating their first blogs here at the University of Plymouth. I have shown them how to integrate these into a Wetpaint wiki (probably the best of the bunch at the moment for functionality, ease of use and ad-free response). 'Watching the paint ...

dana et mobile
October 08, 2008
I have just been into the National Express office and booked my coach travel to London for Handheld Learning next week. The bus is still cheaper than rail travel, although not as exciting. I'm following the tweets from MLearn 2008 which is on as I write and I'm a little bemused. Not a lot of new things seem ...

Going for the hat trick
October 05, 2008
This year I'm going for the hat trick - speaking at the three most prestigious e-learning conferences in Europe (in my opinion at least, so don't go writing in). It will be the first time I have submitted and had papers accepted for EDEN (Lisbon), ALT-C (Leeds) and Online Educa (Berlin) all in the same year, so I'm ...

Czech this out
October 03, 2008
Blimey. I'm a published photographer, me. Digital photography is a many splendoured thing. Schmap came to me a few weeks ago and asked if they could use Timbuckteeth's photograph of St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague in their latest online travel guide of the Czech Republic.The picture appears in the Prague sights and attractions section. The travel guide blurb ...

A proper twit
October 01, 2008
It's better than Technorati and more accurate than guesswork. It's probably also excessively self-indulgent, but then, so is a lot of the read/write web. What is it? Why it's the Twitter Grader and it informs you of the power and effectiveness of your microblogging activities. In short, it lets you know just how big a Twit you really ...

Resident evil?
October 01, 2008
Well good grief. There is plenty follow up to the digital immigrants and natives debate. Where? I hear you ask... Well, James Clay over at e-Learning Stuff has just posted up a commentary entitled 'Are you a resident or a visitor?' which addresses the debate from another perspective (read it and you will know). He includes some ...

In your face, Prensky
October 01, 2008
Marc Prensky's much quoted work on digital immigrants and digital natives is under attack (again), and his distinction between preferences, behaviours, and ... yes... even cognitive structures ... has been challenged in some recent research. Tom Hanson, Editor of OpenEducation.net shared some links with me this morning and writes:"In recent months, research has been emerging that calls into ...

Natural born cyborgs?
September 29, 2008
Coming through security at Ljubjana Airport yesterday, I had to remove my belt (no, my trousers stayed up) and my watch. On the other side of the all-seeing eye, having triggered no terrorist alerts or alarm klaxons, I retrieved my belt and wrist watch and put them on again. I grabbed my bag and laptop, and walked off. ...

Making a difference
September 26, 2008
As ICL comes to a close and another international e-learning conference fades into memory, one has to stop and reflect... did this conference make any difference? The answer is probably both yes .... and no. At an individual level, I have spoken to many delegates here who feel that the conference has been worthwhile, whether it is because ...

Clash of principals
September 25, 2008
So Edupunk is now a noun, with its own official definition (how un-punk is that?). Jim Groom's latest post on Bavatuesdays shows an image with text about Edupunk: 'Avoiding mainstream tools like PowerPoint and BlackBoard, edupunks bring the rebellious attitude and DIY ethos of '70s bands such as The Clash to the classroom'. Seems like something the ...
