Clay Shirky on Social Media

21-Sep-10

In what is one of the more brilliant observations and elicitations of it that I’ve seen, Clay Shirky explains the shift in mediaspace that we currently exit within — the shifts from 1:1 (conversations, letters, telephone, etc.) and 1:many (newspaper, radio, TV, etc.) to many:many (email, twitter, discussion boards, etc.). The video is embedded below. [...]

Expedition for iPad

08-Sep-10

I’m using the App “Expedition” to write this post. On an external display for the iPad. It’s an interesting array of workarounds. For example, the lack of Flash support means (apparently) that the Rich Text editor/plugin that I’m used to doesn’t work, so I have to type it in HTML mode, and add all tags [...]

Google Docs Storyboard template

27-Aug-10

Wanted to see how this looks embedded. It’s a storyboard template that I designed in Google Docs. I chose Google Docs for it because of Google Doc’s collaboration feature, which has become *really amazing* — if you haven’t tried collaborating on Google Docs lately (it used to sorta suck), you should try it now!

Xtranormal LMS vs. PLE

26-Aug-10

This was highlighted on Stephen’s Web the other day, and I thought it was two things: 1) a cool use of Xtranormal; and 2) a nice discussion of the differences between a Learning Management System (like D2L), and a Personal Learning Environment. Here it is: The oddly-compelling thing, for me, about Xtranormal is its weird [...]

Vzaar video test #2

10-Aug-10

Eventually, by hand-coding the html, I was able to get http://view.vzaar.com/405361.mobile embedded and running, on my iPad, within WordPress. This is a test to see what I missed in the default embed code, pasted (in html) here:

Video Test (Vzaar and Kaltura)

09-Aug-10

I’m testing out the embed features of a few different online video tools. Today’s players are Vzaar.com and Kaltura.com. So here’s a few versions (hopefully) of an old video. Vzaar Version 0: .mobile Craig Sherman at Vzaar got back to me (very quickly) about my issues and helped me add the code that should make [...]

Moosepox chapter 1

26-Jul-10

To celebrate making the front page of the Bangor Daily News, I’m publishing the first chapter of A Bad Case of Moosepox. Of course, if you’d like to get your own full copy of the book, Chris may still have a few that he might be able to sell. Chapter 01- The Diagnosis I suffer [...]

GLS-ES Digital Storytelling Workshop

12-Jun-10

Chris Blakesley and I are running a 2-hour Digital Storytelling workshop this afternoon at the GLS-Educator Symposium. If all goes well with my new Google Docs WordPress plugin, a Google Document with resources and examples should show up below… if not, it’s here. I’ll keep it editable by everyone in the world until it gets spammed.

Mitchville Game Design

12-Jun-10

Apparently,while I have the script for it here, I’d never uploaded a good description of the Augmented Reality (AR) game that was the foundation of my dissertation. Briefly, it was a “light” AR game (no “Terminator” vision), written by a group of campers, and adapted for MIT’s Outdoor AR platform. Basically, the idea was to use [...]
