While I have argued before with folks about how I don’t want all of my life to be merged (or converged or mind-melded) into one device (read cellphone), it does appear that this is the case for all of the new, emerging apps and services that are in the Web 2.0 camp.
Just today, I have [...]

Where have I been?
Posted on July 24th, 2006 by ajwms
Wow..this stuff is from 2000 and it is just now sinking into my head. I guess I was just too steeped in my Info Science work to be paying attention to education and learning theories.
But, I have been reading a good deal of Anderson, Garrison and Archer and their model for creating communities of inquiry [...]

Posted on July 18th, 2006 by ajwms
Well, Chicago was a fantastic city. I was quite taken with how easy it was to get around. How much FREE stuff there was to do. Oh yeah, and the conference!

Ning – social apps for everybody
Posted on July 7th, 2006 by ajwms
Wow..I’ve been experimenting all afternoon (off and on between getting ready for the conference next week) with Ning. What an interesting idea. Build your own social app with no programming. And, if you know code, you can edit your source code. Wow. Now, will this be around forever? Will it always be free? Hmm. I [...]

Posted on June 27th, 2006 by ajwms
Been trying to post this since last week but the server woes for edublogs.org kept me away. I saw this first on Lifehacker and then Merlin Mann over at 43 folders had a good take on it as well. What is it? Bumptop, a new approach to the GUI.

RSS = REALLY SLICK STUFF
Posted on June 1st, 2006 by ajwms
As Darren Kuropatwa of the Rip,Mix, Burn blog said a few months ago…RSS is the killer app for educators. I have been working with instructional technologies of all kinds for about 20 years now and I got excited about a few things (ok..so I was pretty wrong about laserdisks). But RSS has got me really [...]
