4-H Career Explorations 2009 ? Digital Storytelling, with science
Just wrapped up our session and wanted to upload a few pics. This year was a collaborative session, working with Patty Bean and Seth Ring of TERRApod . Will have more to add after the holiday. For now, some pics from our session: [Show as slideshow]
NECC 2009
Yes, this is my gratuitous NECC 2009 reflection post. There were too many experiences and too many conversations that took place for me not to stop and reflect on the week as I experienced it. The most noticeable observation I can make is the comparison of experiences from last year?s NECC to this year?s. Last year was my first, and it was quite honestly an incredibly overwhelming experience. I felt rather detached and fatigued as I flew out of San Antonio, and I can directly attribute that
Paneled on July 8th!
Hey everyone, Want to hear me mouth off in person instead of reading my poorly-proof-read thoughts on theatre, politics and sundry other topics? Of course you do! Which is why the good people at CUNY have invited me to speak on a panel. Not only that, the other panelists are The Playgoer, TONY's amazing Helen Shaw and Erik Pipenburg. Who is Erik Pipenburg? He's the Senior Producer for Theatre for the M*-F*ing New York Times Online, that's who! We'll be talking about how the internet is c
Hypertext in digital storytelling
Nonlinear storytelling presents entirely new sets of challenges that we?ve only recently begun to explore, after centuries of exploring the art of linear stories. Since the development of hypertext (and arguably since Ulysses in 1922), though, writers and storytellers have tried to figure out what sorts of stories work best with this medium and how so. As an example, Norse mythology has a great deal of complexity, ambiguity, and shifting relationships. The creation and end-of-times myt

Engage me!
Yet another call for action. Are the messages, are the call outs, are the pleas from our students getting through are do we, as NZ Educators, merely think that all the fuss is coming from the US. With us all the way over here, our students are not in the same frame of mind even if they are using the same technology. My gut tells me it?s wrong. I?m looking forward to getting some 11-18 year old perspective on this, from our students, in our country. I spotted this video from Principal?s blog
Notes on the ?Infinite Canvas?
Running into Jamie Smith this morning (and want to talk about some great teaching, check out what Jamie?s been doing with his students this summer) reminded me that I?ve been remiss in putting notes from some of the interesting NMC 2009 Summer Conference sessions I attended. Ruben Puentedura?s session on ?The Infinite Canvas Reloaded: Digital Storytelling, Webcomics, and Web 2.0? (slides in rather large PDF form) was particularly interesting. Using Scott McLeod?s concept of the digital space as

Is it July already?
I can?t believe that five weeks have passed so quickly! Tomorrow will be my last day in the Baldwin collection. This truly is a case of ?so many books, so little time!? I was invited to give a lecture at Goering?s Bookstore on storytelling in the content areas. There was standing room only! Children?s lit students, public librarians and media specialists. They all had wonderful questions, leading me to believe that I have struck a nerve with this topic. As I continue to read I find more a
HP Advances Teaching & Learning In The Classroom
National Educational Computing Conference 2009 In an effort to further technology integration in schools and enhance student learning, HP made several education-related announcements at the National Educational Computing Conference. A Missouri school district has deployed 6,000 HP Mini 2140 Notebook PCs to its K-12 students. The recently announced HP Mini 5101 offers comfortable computing for students.

Visiting Artists Workshops at SNC
Sierra Nevada College?s renowned Summer Visiting Artists Workshops are now in their 25th year. Workshops will be held through July 31, 2009. The program, started by ceramics instructor Carol Sphar at the college?s old mountain campus, received its funding from the Luria family for whom the ceramics studio was named (longtime residents may recall the Luria Art Building). Sierra Nevada College is proud that its popular program has thrived for a quarter-century, since the notion of sustai
