Well, I guess my problem with drupal earlier today was a stupid one … I put spaces in my file name and drupal gagged on it. So, I took out the spaces and away we go! My blog feed also works in iTunes, so I wonder why you need the audio module? Just a "fancier"…
It is day one of my "summer" break between the summer and fall terms at IU, so I'm going into full geek mode to try out both some old school and new school free podcasting tools. Today, I dusted off Audacity and created a quick little ditty. My plan was to come up with a…
Please take a minute and check out the site TheWorldIsNotFlat.com. I am enthralled by it because it is: Drupal based (with a tricked out design by Rain City Studios) created by believers in Social Design for the Web August and my first day of summer "vacation" inspiration for the travel and blog about it aspirations…
Just pointing to an interesting take on e-learning 2.0 from the Read / Write Web site. technorati tags:elearning Blogged with Flock

Apparently, the crush of criticism by edubloggers is "creating confusion for many people" (and maybe an Excedrin sized headache for Blackboard?) In the "message" of clarity, Chasen notes that: "Some of…
The EdTechTalk live webcast #58 on the Blackboard patent and DOPA issues just finished up and I encourage everyone to catch the recording once it is edited and uploaded. The shownotes include a letter from BlackBoard CEO, Michael Chasin submitted in response to EdTechTalk's request for a representative to appear on the show. Martin Dougiamas…
Since my post about meebo back in March, meebo has become my IM client of choice. I even use it in my discussion group for one of my classes. Web based means I can access it anywhere on any computer (on my Mac and PC) and with no downloads. Best of all, it works will…
Windows Live Spaces went “live” – here is my test space. Maybe more than fashionably late with an update to MSN Spaces, it is a pretty good looking update none the less. Part blog platform / part social networking site / part mini-CMS (with photo storage), my first glance didn’t produce any a-has. Discoveryspaces.live.com displays…
