This Summer I had the good fortune of working with professor Angela Gosetti-MurrayJohn and the students of her “The Classical Tradition” course. I would like to say I came up with some original and elaborate EdTech scheme to change the world through mediated mean, but I didn’t. However, Angela did by pushing her class [...]

Virgil, Blabberize, and 50 Ways to Applaud CogDog
Published by August 24th, 2008 in UMW Blogs, digital storytelling and insructional technology. 1 CommentSo, in an attempt to galvanize my mania to its most chaotically productive for Faculty Academy 2008, I’ll go on with this e-portfolio madness, as promised. However, the comments on part 1 are already making me wonder whether this post shouldn’t be written by D’Arcy, Chris, Phaedral, or Cole (or perhaps all of them)?
That [...]
I have set up a WordPress Multi-User test of CommentPress, a theme brought to you by the fine folks at The Future of the Book (in particular Bob Stein, Jessie Wilbur, and Eddie Tejada). This theme is absolutely sick (a good thing, mind you) because it allows you to literally publish a book online [...]

Published by July 7th, 2007 in WordPress, plugins, video and wordpress multi-user. 22 CommentsRecently I have been corresponding with Mario A. Núñez Molina, a professor at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Campus, who has been also working on integrating a WPMu blogging solution (RUM Edublogs) for the College of Arts and Sciences.

Mike Caulfield, my new favorite blogger, has been talking about the value of having students work with a web-based authoring platform that they can actually use after they graduate:
And because the students worked with real tools (and possibly even on real problems) they’d graduate with bankable skills [...]
Darren Barefoot recently blogged about Facebook as an “Ad Hoc Engine for Folding Time.” Here’s a quote from his brilliant framing of this widely popular application:

WordPress: power and simplicity
Published by May 4th, 2007 in WordPress, drupal, plugins and wordpress multi-user. 9 CommentsSubtitle: Are we ready to take WordPress as a CMS seriously yet?
This is a post that was inspired by both a question on OLDaily as well as a post about Drupal documentation on Half an Hour. I originally threw out a flippant response to the “Joomla or Drupal?” question in regards to open source content [...]
I was scrolling through my google reader early this morning when I realized that something was amiss with Digg. Just about every article title in my digg folder either displayed or made reference to Hurley’s jinxed holy grail of HD-DVD numbers (or the decryption key to unlock HD-DVDs). Additionally, users were prefacing these numbers [...]
One of the few things I have been unable to share on my blog is my daily work-out regiment. Not so much because I am shy or embarrassed about it, rather until now I haven’t had an effective way to explain its cinematic complexities and nuances -and some may even argue its transnational poetry.
