I’m also proud to announce that you can now subscribe to On Deck via the iTunes music store. You can head over to the site […]
Yesterday in my presentation I talked about how educators and schools view Wikipedia. Where some schools have blocked the site and other schools have not blocked the site. How some teachers are allowing students to use it as a research site, while others are not. This is still in debate, but I think we’re missing the bigger picture of what […]
Just wanted to send out a quick thank you to all of those that attended my two sessions yesterday. My podcasting session saw about 50 or 60 people turn out. I wish the audio would have been better (go figure you need an audio connection for a podcast session) but all and all I think it went well. My second […]

My first presentation tomorrow is on Podcasting, but in the list […]
It’s the usual rush as we leave for the airport in 30 minutes for Bangkok. 3 hours of sleep and my wife just getting out of the shower. By 5pm tonight I’ll be sitting here:So I’ll be disconnected for a few days before flying back to Bangkok for the EARCOS conference. I’ll be blogging a lot during the conference, so […]
I haven’t had time to do a lot of blog reading lately, hence the 900 unread feeds on my netvibes page….ug. I have however been playing with a couple of new tools…well, new to me anyway. I don’t get twitter. Really I don’t. My wife just keeps saying “This is so stupid” which pretty much sums it up. But for […]

If you are planing on going and will be blogging the conference please use this tag. I’ve also e-mailed EARCOS to see if they will add this […]
