#OpenEd13 Presentation – We Have Lost the Term “MOOC”

Video of my presentation MOOCseum:  Using the Open Movement to Invigorate Local Museums is posted below.  Attendees were engaged and responsive, and the numbers were impressive especially considering this was the final presentation slot at the conference.

A New Perspective on Depression

What if depression wasn`t just something that prevented us from being all we could be… but rather something that slowed us down and stopped us when we are becoming overloaded.  I love this TED talk on the power of depression. I would love to hear others view and or reflections on the topic.…
