Scenes from The Wire

Next Wednesday I’ll be doing a presentation at the ACCS conference titled “Is Less More? What The Wire Has to Teach Us About Institutional IT” wherein I use clips from David Simon’s brilliant series The Wire to examine the lie that is “Do more with less” in institutions generally, but higher ed specifically. Keep in [...]

66.6 on Your AM Dial: It’s Uncanny Learning

Last week I had the good fortune of co-presenting with Tom Woodard and Brian Lamb at the NMC’s Symposium for the Future. The presentations were all supposed to look towards the future, and for our part we dreamed up a presentation that frames a Dystopian future wherein an education insurance salesman [...]

A Bava Bumrush of WordCamp NYC

I’m pretty excited for the upcoming WordCamp in NYC, not only is it a wonderful excuse to go back home, but it is also shaping up to be one of the biggest WordPress shindigs ever. Moreover, it’s being hosted at CUNY’s Baruch College providing some well-earned recognition of the amazing work happening at Blogs@Baruch—a recent [...]

Me, We

I’m not always so good at sharing my presentation materials because a lot of what I do is improvised at the moment.  I rarely, if ever, have a prepared talk about a specific topic, but develop a conceit around which to frame some ideas I have been thinking about.
For the West Virginia Higher Education Technology [...]

Just another hole-in-the-wall

I’m on the plane back from three days in beautiful San Juan, Puerto Rico, and I figured I’d try and capture it before it slips away—something which unfortunately happened with OpenEd 09. As I already noted here, I was invited down to San Juan by Antonio [...]

STEMmEd Workshop

Next week I’ll be heading to Puerto Rico to run a workshop with one of my favorite bloggers, and an early WPMu education maverick, Mario A. Núñez. I’m going to use the occasion to really conceptualize the syndication bus more clearly both using and apart from WPMu in an attempt to start framing out a [...]

DUKE CIT Presentation: “Do you believe in magic?”

Looks like the good folks at Duke University’s Center for Instructional Technology put my presentation “Fragmented Identities: A Domain of One’s Own” up on YouTube. Quite frankly, I was afraid to watch the video because I have fond memories of the talk, and on a partial viewing my fears were confirmed—-I was all over [...]

It seems like I was at Blogfesores 2009 in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico two months ago, but it has only been a little over a week. I guess that what’s happen when you return to find UMW’s 14th [...]

Blogfesores 2009: Contenido Abierto!

It’s a great honor to have been invited to talk at the Third Congress of Blogfesores in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, this Friday, May 8th. I’ve been following the work of a number of people in Puerto Rico for a while now, particularly Mario Núñez (a fellow early WPMu experimenter) and Antonio Vantaggiato , both of [...]

Duke University’s CIT Showcase, 2009

I’ll be posting the video and some more commentary of the “Magic Trick Talk” I did last week at Duke when it’s available, although I’m a bit nervous about it because I am under the illusion the talk went well and I fear the video will burst my bubble. As I remember it, the talk [...]
