Summer is a personal favorite of mine. Not for the reasons you think — well, perhaps for the reasons you think. Living in a college town means that summer is the time with a respite from the doubled population of town and gown; we can get coffee in th…
Gearing up for Camp.
If it’s summer, then Learning Design Summer Camp is right around the corner. This is one of my favorite events of the year, because it is two days of fun with friends and colleagues. This week, Erin Long and I have been working on the #ldsc10 logos and customary camp gear, and I love this […]
Happy camping from afar.
It’s Day 1 of Learning Design Summer Camp! I wish I was in the thick of things today. Right about now, the campers are arriving, finding a seat, looking for available outlets (because that will affect the seat you choose, of course!) checking out their name tags, adding stickers, and getting acquainted. It’s a wonderful […]
Flipping for camp.
While most people I know are gearing up for this year’s Learning Design Summer Camp, I’m getting ready to depart Happy Valley and head to Chicagoland for the eduWEB Conference, being held at exactly the same time. I’m presenting with @NikkiMK on your favorite microblogging platform (and mine), Twitter, and how to use it to […]

You know, the stuff that doesn’t rock the world, but sometimes just rocks your world. I had made time to hang with my friends Audrey and Hannah, who have been patiently […]

Chicken And Stars is a podcast that I do along with @Reginaldgolding and @Micala, and it is VERY grassroots. We talk about local community, things that are happening now, what people are talking […]
Last one out turn off the lights.
Summer Camp has finally wrapped up, much to my disappointment. It wound down about an hour ago, actually, but I find I don’t want to stop the voices in my head. I think for most people, we try to do anything possible to extend the post-event high of a really great experience. For me, I […]
Social MEdia card.
The Learning Design Summer Camp is today. Starts in less than 10 hours, in fact. I am on my way to bed after an evening of checking and rechecking my slides and wikipages, but I had a couple of observations I wanted to touch upon, and get my thoughts posted before I fall headlong into […]
