    #rawthought: Your Ellie – On the Primacy of Networked Knowledge

    My 6th grade daughter had her first dance the other day (cue *sigh*). On the way to school in the morning there was some confusion as to what time the dance started – was it 5? 6? 7? Normally this would not be an issue but on this particular night I was off to see one of my most beloved bands – the Psychedelic Furs – in concert for the first time! Trying to problem solve whilst belting out Pretty in Pink, I suggested that she search for the dance time on the calendar on the s

    The Royal Google: Making My Google Teacher Academy Video

    I knew early on I wanted to make a parody music video echoing my work on the History for Music Lovers YouTube channel. I also knew it wouldn’t be as polished, since I didn’t have the fancy-schmancy software (Adobe After FX) and recording equipment we usually use, or the editing genius of Mr. Herb Mahelona, my creative partner. That being said, I wanted to experiment in using solely my mobile devices (iPad and iPhone 5) and tapping into my recent passion for making original sk

    Flat Iron Pedagogy: Affective Data Meets Differentiation

    The other day I was enjoying a rare moment of #whitespace at the hair stylist’s when he disclosed something that blew my mind. It wasn’t the latest local gossip or Game of Thrones spoiler but rather, something about the technology he was using: THE FLAT IRON Here’s the thing, I don’t regularly flat iron my own hair because I’m afraid I’ll burn it off, and after having had chemo-induced baldness for a few years of my life I don’t think that’s a chance I want to take.  He told

    Augmentopia: Making Steel and Glass Organic #edcmooc

    The other day I was driving in terrible traffic with my 8 year old daughter and I blurted out : “Stupid car! Move it!” She responded sweetly, “Please don’t blame the car- it’s not his fault- he’s being controlled by a human!” Ha! I thought to myself. Not for long… The Internet of Things = Physical World + Virtual World The following (amazing and tilt-shift-infested) video discuss “The Internet of Things” and how digital connections are enhancing and empowering us as HUMANS So

    Leveraging for Legacy

    image: my student, Sam St. John I’ve been really enjoying participating in #etmooc, and the last Blackboard session with Alec got me thinking of connectivism again. Each year I have my IB Theory of Knowledge students read “Knowing Knowledge” by George Siemens (2006) KnowingKnowledge_LowRes (1) Last year we had a lively socratic circle activity with a Twitter backchannel, but this year I decided to include the reading and obligatory reflection in their semester exam. They resp
