About this Blog:

-Began blog in 2005

-Extension of his book

-"In recent years, we’ve witnessed the emergence of new ways to experience the World Wide Web. The term “Web 2.0” has been coined to describe the Web’s transition from a collection of static Web sites containing information to a more dynamic, interactive, social,

and content-sharing environment. Web 2.0 tools and services like blogs, wikis, podcasts, photo- and video-sharing sites, social networks, and virtual worlds are now being used daily by millions of people around the globe to connect, communicate, collaborate, create, care, and share with others. I was first introduced to the Web 2.0 landscape and its implications for education in 2006, while attending the Building Le

arning Communities conference in Boston. The three-day conference had such an impact on my thinking that I knew I couldn’t continue to teach in the same way I did before going to Boston."

-PDFs of his articles from a monthly column he writes for SchoolArts Magazine

Other fun post:

I like when he comments on his own work like "Look at What We Found"

First Project of the Year: Students were given a large ziploc bag and asked to collect 10 interesting found papers to bring to the next class. Next, they were instructed to cut the papers they found into

20 or more small rectangles (2.5 x 4 inch). Last, they were asked to work as a group to arrange all of these found paper samples into a large wall pattern that “looks good.” This assignment was inspired by Keri Smith’s book How to be an Explorer in the World and the importance she places on collecting and documenting as ways of gathering source material for artistic expression."

I love how well he uses tags

Personas

"seems to me to be an example of the “Real-Time Web.” It comes from Aaron Zinman at the MIT Media Lab and takes your name and searches the Web for some context around it. It then uses the words and sites it finds to build a visual profile of your Web presence. Here is the “persona” that it created for me, which, btw, is not that accurate in that it doesn’t distinguish from different “craig rolands” on the Web."

It was cool to see everything I have done pop up on the screen as it created this!

So now my blog is being weird about line spacing, so I apologize
