Thanks, Lesley!

Now I have to rent the movie...


I did this TWICE and came up the same way both times. I think I'm gonna go back and do the "which Horror Movie Monster are you? quiz.

Still Alive!

Ya. I'm still here.. still reading the EVO bloggers. Mostly I'm writing over in my Cognitive Dissonance blog. Lately we've been working on a discussion of media classification and the notion of Quantum Cognition.

I'm having fun, but I'm not sure how much in-road I'm making on the group.

Silly But Fun

Everybody needs a lil fun ...

Avocado Redux

I was reading Nancy's Post on and was put in mind of the class I designed for Week 2. To refresh the idea, we had a group of adult students in a graduate level special education course. The teacher has been unhappy with the outcomes of previous online classes and wanted a different way to engage his students.

Lord, how they floundered. Unwisely, we allowed the students to pick their blog software. Everybody had a problem replying with comments because most chose blogs that require login to comment and they hated having to have an account on ALL the different blog servers.

But the last 5 weeks have been miraculous. Students have left the teacher gasping. They write. They reply. They assimilate. They rip, mix, and burn. Gone are the three sentence discussion board "I think the subject had problems just like Sam said" posts. Next week is spring break for us so the students don't HAVE to blog.

I'll be watching to see if they actually do. Any bets?

Eide Neurolearning Blog and Learning Styles

Wow. I LIKE this post.

As an educational technologist I'm asked to justify all my silly notions all the time. This post does a great job of listing what blogs can and should do for people who are using them in learning environments.

In conclusion, it looks as if blogging will be very good for our brains. It holds enormous potential in education, and it could take societal communication and creative exchange onto a whole new level.

Ya. I think the EVO2005 folks would agree with this.

Btw, I'm using my "Blog This" applet to see how well it works .. First time for me. I'm excited.
