Technology re-think.
The greatest mistake you can make when it comes to technology is buying into something without knowing why! If you are getting on the technology train to be like the masses you are doing so for the wrong reason and are likely to resent the whole experience! -twitter -facebook -myspace -delicious -Vimeo -YouTube These are [...]
Do students want the education they need?
This may sound like a silly question with the obvious answer being YES, but wait a second. We are sitting on the break of an education revolution and the mobile environment is just the leading edge of the emerging wave. This Fast Company slide show tells us a lot about the very young student and [...]
It all depends how you look and read things.
This is a great piece of video that truly does make you think about not only what we see and think about but how we contextualize things. Content is important BUT context is also very important. Do you really listen? When you are listening do you get the point? Or do you hear what you [...]
Content is king!
Last night on Nightline I had a great conversation about content syndication! I am not talking RSS but how you can get content that is market ready into the market! Imagine that academic paper that can be reformatted and become a valuable business piece. How does this effect you? Are you a person who writes? [...]
death by email
I love the way Hugh MacLeod gets right to the point! Technology is great,don’t get me wrong, BUT we are failing in a epic way to manage the use of it in a manner that is healthy! And the classic example of our failure to manage and live with technology is email! We have lost [...]

I love the way Twitter, #jamesed_me, allows me to communicate links, materials and ideas to my students. Facebook creates another forum for interaction, especially if the group is protected. Livestream allows [...]
apps are the future.
The 4th screen (your mobile/cellular phone) holds the key to your information world. And are we teaching app creation, management, imagination in our schools? I suspect many teachers/professors have only a passing knowledge about apps given that they are not using phones that easily take on board advanced applications. My advice to students, anyone really, [...]
It is a PREZI world now
How many of you have gone from an overhead projector to PowerPoint, maybe Keynote, and are now feeling pretty comfortable? Most of us have been using some variation of the slide projector/asetate presentation format all our lives. But you know what? We now live in a whiteboard era. Can you imagine using a chalkboard? Yet [...]
Better use of time!
The problem with social media is that is can and will be all consuming if you allow it to be. The problem with the Internet in general is there is simply so much out there how do you know where to start looking for information, ideas and just stuff? The usual approach is to go [...]
AudioBoo.
I want to share with you one of my absolute favorite WEB2.0 tools, yes I see WEB2.0 applications as tools, Audioboo! Audioboo is an application that I use on my iPhone to post audio podcasts.
