Thanks to a tweet by Dave Lester and push to read it by Patrick Murray-John I found not only a really cool example of the power of these tools for an individual to track and frame their own educational experience, but some absolutely exciting research about [...]

Katabasis and “Choose Your Own Adventure” narratives
Published by December 4th, 2008 in UMW Blogs. 1 CommentImage Credit: “Odysseus” by paral_lax
It’s funny how things work online, soon after reading Alec Couros’s post “‘Choose You Own Adventure’ comes to YouTube” (which is such a brilliant use of YouTube annotations for digital storytelling), I got a message from a Professor Angela Gosetti which pointed me to a “Chosse You Own Adventure” website one [...]
One of the biggest complaints on campus right now is that many of us really don’t know what is going on. I don’t mean this in an abstract way, but quite literally what events are happening at what time and where. Most of this information is being delivered via email, any I would gather—given the [...]
I was talking with a faculty member about social networking Tuesday, and while she was giving me some tips on my Facebook profile I switched my relationship status from single to married, something I didn’t think twice about at the moment. Well, at least before the messages started streaming in. A couple were heartfelt [...]

Bio Blogs, an experiment in mass syndication
Published by December 2nd, 2008 in UMW Blogs. 0 CommentsCross-posted as a UMW Blogs feature as well.
Professor Michael Killian’s “The Bio Blog” is a pretty impressive endeavor that collects and categorizes the posts of over 70 students in his Introduction to Biological Concepts course (Biol 121). Every student maintained his or her own blog and their posts were tagged according to the section [...]
Well, Stephen Downes has pointed to Lorna Campbell’s “The Dawn of Eduprog” post, a kind of code concept rock semantified at the recent CETIS08 conference. And make no mistake about it, this genre of edtech promises to challenge EDUPUNK at its very core. And given my own weakness for capes and complex synthesizer solos, I [...]

Well, after almost a year and a half of solid publishing and more than 30,000 posts, UMW Blogs has finally got frontpage link real estate on the UMW Homepage. I guess we’re kind of official, now if we could just get the homepage to feed in posts from the UMW Blogs community so that it [...]
I’m the sixth kid of a family of seven. So, by the time I came along the idea of some kind of a photo archive for me was pretty much out the window. When I turned either eleven or twelve years old I went on a mad hunt tearing apart our attic looking for baby [...]
