Dave Cormier, one of my best buds* in the world, has been rambling on about rhizomes and knowledge creation for the past 2 years. I still only have a vague idea of what he is talking about (he is much smarter, but don’t tell him I said so), but that hasn’t stopped me from picking…
Just a quick note to pass on information about the upcoming Open Education Conference in Logan Utah – see http://opencontent.org/blog/archives/503 I attended last year and it is an amazing experience. You check the reality of "education" as we know it and dream with a group of about 250 free-thinkers about the possibilities … free flow…
What are the advantages of formal vs. informal networks? Any way to have it both ways? Or is it an inevitable conflict? I tried to tackle these question in class this week (yes, buried deep within the bowels of Blackboard never to see the light of day). I’m bringing the post out here (cut and…
I’m already starting week 3 of my summer semester (time flies) and one of my courses is Knowledge Management. We are past the "what is the difference between information and knowledge" stage and moving into "what does instructional design have to do with knowledge management".

Some weasel hacked my site today, so after I restored my database I had to go in and clean up a few posts from earlier this year. Sorry for the RSS spam!
I attended AERA this week in my adopted “hometown” of NYC. I assumed that I would have things to post about and links to share, but I it really isn’t that kind of a conference. Given the 500 page fine print book of presentations, my goal was to see a handful of specific presenters ……
I’ve taken various versions of the Myers-Briggs test in the past and I tend to vary within the N / S category. I would guess that my responses vary based on my current situation when I take the test – what project I am working on, recent social situations, whether I’m in a new job…
I attended the State University of New York (SUNY) distance learning summit this week and Christian Wise, a Senior Designer at WGBH in Boston, gave an overview of teachersdomain.org, WGBH’s online digital library of multimedia resources for educators. The distribution format they are using signals how and where they will deliver their educational content in…
