The Humanity of Loose Systems
One of our graphic designers returned from Paris the other day with the most extraordinary set of photographs. Her and I had had a long talk before she went about how the concept of “brand” was overrated in visual design, … Continue reading
John Willinsky and the Ten Years War
If you’re interested in education and technology, go (now!) and listen to Jon Udell’s recent interview with John Willinsky. Then go listen to Willinsky’s fascinating 1 hour lecture which deals with everything from Issac Newton as proto-blogger to Wikipedia error … Continue reading
Universal Grammar, meet the Black Swan
OK, so I’ve never been that big a fan of Chomskyan grammar: I just never quite understood what one would *do* with it. Besides, sitting around dissecting sentences like “The large gray man fell on the radio stand” just paled … Continue reading

WordPress MU and eportfolio reporting requirements
I had the good luck this week to stumble into a very helpful blogswarm. And since it’s best to make use of their expertise while they are still checking back here, let’s cut to the chase. Here is the new … Continue reading
Enterprise Learning Systems Considered Harmful to Learning
Not a new thought, but one I’m newly fired up about after talking to Jon Udell last night. We don’t make enterprise purchases for students when it comes to spiral bound notebooks, pencils, or binders. So why do we move … Continue reading
Michael Gorman wins Gold Medal for Irony
The Sphere is abuzz with discussion of Michael Gorman’s rambling monologues about Web 2.0. They are two profoundly confused pieces. While Gorman’s posts will win no prizes for coherence of thought or depth of knowledge, they might just win a … Continue reading
