My recent post and exploring on residents vs visitors makes me think about some of the problems around the conversations about digital citizenship.

During a unconference today in Halifax a group of teachers were discussing and exploring Project Based Learning.

If you’ve not aware of the work of David White and his Visitor vs. Resident idea, you should.

If the answer to these questions doesn’t include the learner, I’d suggest you’re doing it wrong.

I use this tool pretty regularly and it works wonderfully.

What started out as a lesson on the use of green screen and Chroma key ended up as a Google commercial during last night’s Oscars Ceremony.

I should really change my blog title to include the phrase, “half-baked ideas and thoughts” since that’s essentially what I enjoy most.

The desire for more equity is admirable but in some cases unrealistic and perhaps misguided to a degree.

The process is to create a keynote presentation with all the builds and animations, export it out to iMovie, add your music and voila.

Essentially this is a great way to quickly get yourself up to speed with emerging technologies.

If you’re reading this and have no idea what the Daily Create is, you can thank me later.

You would think we would learn the way these things work, which is this: 1) everything that’s already in the world when you’re born is just normal;

I wasn’t completely happy with my last post.

We know the power of their voice but I think we do a disservice when we usurp their real voice with ours.

Our metric obsessed culture is all about our need to make the complex simple.

No one denies the need for differentiated instruction but few teachers have adequate training to understand and help all students be successful.

I read recently about an advertising company in Minneapolis that gave their employees 4 months of paid time off.

Whenever I hear the term “digital citizenship” I usually am skeptical.

Sharing in 2103 is one of the easiest things to do. Understanding sharing is not that easy.

In my search for a new reader, I decided to ditch my feeds and start fresh.

I was honored to be chosen to give an Ignite talk during the opening session at this year’s ISTE conference in San Antonio.

As I work with schools interested in using social media they often talk about how they might use social media in a strategic way. My first reaction is you can’t.
