Published by September 26th, 2008 in UMW Blogs, insructional technology, wordpress multi-user and wpmu. 3 CommentsThe following questions come from an email conversation Shawn Miller and I had about the genesis and guiding logic of UMW Blogs. Shawn is a member of Duke University’s Center for Instructional Technology, and the group is interested in hearing more about the ways we are using blogs here at Mary Washington. If all [...]
Speech, YouTube, and WordPress
Published by August 24th, 2008 in YouTube and insructional technology. 0 CommentsLast semester, Professor John Morello’s “Communication and Political Campaigns” class did something interesting with UMW Blogs. Rather than thinking of the class blog as a semester long activity for writing and reflecting (which is always good), he used it for one specific assignment.

Virgil, Blabberize, and 50 Ways to Applaud CogDog
Published by August 24th, 2008 in UMW Blogs, digital storytelling and insructional technology. 1 CommentThis Summer I had the good fortune of working with professor Angela Gosetti-MurrayJohn and the students of her “The Classical Tradition” course.

The Changing Role of Instructional Technologists
Published by July 2nd, 2008 in insructional technology. 2 CommentsAlmost a month ago to the day Gardner Campbell and I hooked up at the EDUCAUSE Southeast Regional Conference to talk about “Supporting Faculty Adoption of Emerging Technologies.” Gardner got me into the UMW racket and is always an intense source of inspiration, energy, and relentless intellectual generosity. So, I have edited down the original [...]
Today I got to thinking about something while talking about building a community site: where is my community right now? Well, Twitter, and at this very moment I can see all kinds of cool things happening. I’m currently following two of my favorite people, Shannon Hauser and Brian Lamb, exchange ideas about music.

The Glass Bees
Published by May 25th, 2008 in Uncategorized, books and insructional technology. 74 CommentsWith my no-internet, hippie-like vacation to Montauk behind me now, I can return to the bava and continue the excruciating futility that is my life online. I enjoyed the time away because I was able to do something I hadn’t done in too long, i.e., read a few books that have nothing to do with [...]
