This is your brain on DS106Radio: Actually, the image was requisitioned by Dr.Rutherford and Dr.Figg for their upcoming teacher education presentation. They wanted an image to represent the 21st century teacher. I figure a 21st century teacher is focused on the learner and so that’s why I did that brain in the cloud. My inspiration,… Read More: DS106Radio Memory Lane »
Is it better to forget? Or remember? Does it make a difference? Would it all turn out the same? If I had an eraser I’d remove the part of my brain that decided to…

After the tech glitches were ironed out, we were able to really get into the conversation. I archived the broadcast and was… Read More: My Darling Tuesday »
Otherwise known as the Four Icon Movie Poster Challenge. I know I am *so* three weeks ago. All the other 4 icon movie posters were fantastic, fun and done ages ago. Zeitgeist, I am not. Anyway, I’m in a zone of non-sleep creativity, so I have to strike while the iron is hot. Not a… Read More: Iconic precipitates »
The #ds106 radio stream always starts with “Can you dig it!?” which is from (1979) The Warriors. I know this because coincidentally over the Christmas break I watched it on Netflix. @noiseprofessor even made awesome @jimgroom art about it. I really think you guys should all get matching leather vests. For real. Not Photoshopped. I… Read More: Say it like Peanut Butter & Jam Econo »

Ugh, Elluminate needs Java, it’s a tech support headache. Students like flexibility and it’s a bit narcissitic of the prof to think that all the learning… Read More: Art of Listening »
The educators I follow on twitter have seemingly endless bounds of creativity. Their incredible work has inspired me to participate, at least briefly in @jimgroom‘s #ds106. First there was the remix of Gardner Campbell’s Bag of Gold, then it was amazing digital story telling: Until that Moment, and now, #ds106 radio. All have been really… Read More: Newspaper Blackout Poetry »
