I think I blogged about this during the first course because at the time it was the relevant question on my mind as I began the course. I actually created a workshop called Mashing the Past that emphasized ways to […]

Awesome ideas on this post Dan…they really speak to me in regard to all the implicit learning that takes place by providing the best context and environment. So true is the statement that we are social beings […]

I think something as simple as having them plan their learning or having a parent work with them through an abstract idea is a type of reverse instruction. Creating divergent thinking puzzles at home is a great […]

It is not a secret that reverse instruction alters the traditional landscape of education. I mean, what kind of teacher just assumes that a video or screen cast can effectively deliver instruction the way a […]

What is up with embedding slide shows from slideshare or authorstream. They are flat out not working…I ahve tried videos, tutorials, simply slapping the embed code does nothing.

Tim Pettine wrote a new blog post: If today was 1989 5 months, 4 weeks ago
I have to think that, for some very unconscionable reason, that a motive to be a high school teacher is that I really enjoyed my time in high school. I enjoyed the sports teams I played on, I loved my friends that I shared time with, and I can honestly say that the classes I [...] -

Reading your post made me think of a quote regarding perfection in design; design is not focused on addition but on modification until there is nothing more to take away!

Quite a pleasure reading about your use of twitter in the classroom. I am convinced that “time to play” on twitter is actually very valuable just for the opportunity to understand that their interests are actually shared. The enormous amounts of data generated by users really challenges the twitter user to find a way to [...]
