Image via Wikipedia It’s been several months since I first geeked out and was the third person in line at the Apple Store the day the iPad was released. Yes, I have embraced my inner (and outer) Nerd-dom. At first I wasn’t sure if I was going to keep it. It didn’t take me long [...] Publ.Date : Wed, 07 Jul 2010 14:57:42 +0000 A Browser Bag of Tricks Image by Daniel Pouliot via Flickr While sharing my browser during a DEN webinar last night, I was surprised to see the hot topic of conversation wasn’t the public beta of the new DEN website that I was sharing…. rather it was the various bookmarklets and links that I have saved in my Bookmarks toolbar.

However, I thought I’d share a quick post about the things that I have picked up so far and my thoughts about them. For the most part, they [...] Publ.Date : Thu, 08 Jul 2010 13:14:45 +0000 3 days with the iPad Well, it has now been two full days with the iPad and I figured I ought summarize some of my thoughts about it so far. I ought to preface his by saying that I had/have a healthy degree of skepticism regarding the device. I’m no Fanboy when it comes to Apple. I have a great [...] Publ.Date : Tue, 06 Apr 2010 02:43:36 +0000 What could you do with Augmented Reality? Image by Eric Rice via Flickr Augmented reality is one of the few technologies that have come out within the last few years that really have the ability to simply drop jaws. Primarily, it’s hung out in the marketing field, and been used in car ads and recently on the cover of Esquire magazine. Home [...] Publ.Date : Mon, 25 Jan 2010 16:05:40 +0000 Top 10 Web 2.0 for Educators – NICE Miniconference Will be presenting in about 10 minutes at the NICE mini conference here in Illinois. Doing a revamped version of my Top 10 Web 2.0 for Educators. Most radical change is that I don’t have an aggregator in there. Still kinda torn about that. Part of it is that time is limited, but another piece [...] Publ.Date : Sat, 30 Jan 2010 16:58:28 +0000 Haiti 360 Image via Wikipedia With all the news about the disaster in Haiti, one of the more interesting things I’ve seen technologically recently came from there. I’ve seen 360 videos before, going all the way back to Quicktime VR and such. But this absolutely fascinates me. This video was shot on January 18th, and while watching [...] Publ.Date : Mon, 25 Jan 2010 17:38:19 +0000 iPad Presenting: Powerpoint, Videos, Web Demos and more Image by Jesus Belzunce via Flickr One of the first things I thought to use my iPad for was presenting and live demos. After all, it’s such a sleek, elegant device, why on Earth would I want to lug my laptop around at all? So I started researching ways to present from it. First choice [...] Publ.Date : Wed, 07 Jul 2010 22:06:58 +0000 TEDxNYED and Dan Meyer Image by doviende via Flickr While en route to England, I had about 8 hours of time to kill. One way that I filled it was to download all the presentations from the recent TEDxNYED and watch them on the iPad. Truly a treat to say the least. While there were several that I think [...] Publ.Date : Tue, 18 May 2010 15:21:26 +0000 Geotags and the City http://url.ie/69ua #1amend Image by bmckenzie via Flickr I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of geotagging photos, but frustrated by some of the issues around the practice. Unless you use a smartphone as a camera, or have something like an EyeFi, it’s a chore to tag photos in this way, and a chore that not many take [...] Publ.Date : Mon, 24 May 2010 19:11:09 +0000 40 blogs were posted while you read this. Saw this while hunting for a post on Darren Kuropatwa’s blog. You can see the complete article here, but I think the ‘ticker’ speaks for itself. And really drives home the need to teach information literacy. The amount of content being created and consumed on a daily basis is pretty unreal. Don’t forget to click [...] Publ.Date : Tue, 25 May 2010 17:35:15 +0000 Farewell to some old friends Last night, I said farewell to some old friends. Aiden is growing older and we’re getting ready to switch him into what was formally the office/library. As I stood there staring at my bookshelves, I realized that it was time to let most of them go to that great library in the sky (the book [...] Publ.Date : Wed, 21 Jul 2010 22:20:03 +0000 ISTE 2010 Wrapup Image by katerha via Flickr This was a busy ISTE to say the least! While normally I make a point to hit at least a few sessions, this year it was all work. 3 presentations, 1 workshop, combined with booth time and a Wilkes grad course wrapping up made for a crazy hectic week.

I started replying as a comment… but the comment kept getting longer and longer. SO! A new post it has become. Here’s the original comment from Russ: Thanks for what feels like a realistic review. Overall, I [...] Publ.Date : Tue, 06 Apr 2010 20:22:03 +0000 The revolution has been canceled. Image by opensourceway via Flickr While doing some brainstorming today, I decided to do a search for articles about digital textbooks. One of the results was an article from David Warlick. In it, he mentioned how excited he was that his son had the choice of “bringing home a traditional, 400 page, five-pound, paperbound book, [...] Publ.Date : Tue, 18 May 2010 20:33:52 +0000 |
