That’s happening today. I took the bus because the ride home was still lousy on Main Street… … and I wish there were an Inkscape forum. I found good tutorials but this is, like CSS et al, at that level where you have to know somebody; “click and see what happens” has too many […]

I participated in a “hackathon” where some stuff was presented in a Zoom format, then the next three hours were spent applying that knowledge and continuing to share in that Zoom format. The folks at Lumen LEarning had us make some little questions with HP5 that could be used to support some OER out there. […]

This was the final session that I attended (2;45-345; I bugged out 3:30 b/c taxi comign at 4:00). It seems to me that the folks who want to “decolonize” things tend to be in the humanities or the more tech-oriented ones (yes, there were fascinating sessions about data analysis and privacy… the “access code” barriers […]

Tweetdeck is working nicely, so I can follow the tweets at the Open Education conference in Anaheim. Do I wish I were there? Sort of. I realized that the feeling I get in those hotels at conferences is very similar to how I would feel when I’d drive my car to work: like so much […]

http://www.mathcoachscorner.com/2016/02/remediate-skill-not-standard/ Yes, she recycles her posts but this one’s definitely worth it. It’s not about tech but it could be. Depending on which wrong answer a student chooses, the teaching should be adapted. We could do that with tech, too. Pathways… especially if we included humans who could ask questions of the student […]

… the files, which is a step forward. The Working Thing with title “Jan29” is now on Ay-soos, the GREENECK and the Transcend and the Camtasia flash drives and now the cloud knows where they are. Since my next Thing TO Figure Out is how to manage versions of things in GitHub, it’ll soon be […]

Riding in this morning I was reflecting on the really frustrated student yesterday. The problems were “order of operations” problems so they had 5 or 6 steps and if he did them piece. by. piece. he’d lose a detail and if he did ’em in his head he’d drop a sign or […]
