Filtering for Bags of Gold
and all that remained were the listeners
having a conversation

Badges?
In honour of my twitter getting hijacked by badge discussions, I made an animated GIF of the most frequently tweeted youtube link, “We don’t need no stinkin’ Badges!” (which also is listed as one of the most racist film scenes ever)… For a more thoughtful treatment, Audrey Watters Storified the whole #dmlbadges after the livestream… Read More: Badges? »
Hello Worlds. Colliding.
So…I’m going to try and participate in two MOOCs this term. The #Change11 MOOC introduces “participants to the major contributions being made to the field of instructional technology by researchers today. Each week, a new professor or researcher will introduce his or her central contribution to the field.” By contrast, #DS106 is crazy, freeform, tickles… Read More: Hello Worlds. Colliding. »
StoryBox Remix & Four Icon Story
Just last month, Alan Levine (@cogdog) and his StoryBox rolled through Ontario and made the landmark stop here in Welland, Ontario.

Pre-show Preamble + Show Post-show Post-amble It was great but my only critique would be that Scott forgot to tell them he… Read More: Scott Leslie on CBC talkin’ copyright »

Okay, so Alec Couros called me out for identifying the white elephant in the #ds106Radio room but still not actually discussing it. I know Alec and I are on the same side of this issue but I agree that it is worth discussing and deconstructing. Clearly *someone* else does too, because he has pre-loaded the… Read More: © in #ds106Radio Revisited »
ILTBHFYTR
ILTBHFYTR = I Left This Pirate Box Here For You To Read First off, I am so glad Alan is renaming the Pirate Box a Story Box because although I love the antidisestablishmentarianism ethos of the “Pirate” and the spirit of the box is autonomy, I have no interest in “pirating” content. As for the… Read More: ILTBHFYTR »
