Today’s to-do is long, so I’ll keep it short. I’m challenged, if you haven’t noticed, by brevity in my blog posts. I’m at a stand-still because there is a lock on my inter-library loan account. The horror! I have this huge list of books and articles, and I can’t order any of them.…
Making your own mobile app!
I have been experimenting with making mobile apps lately. My two main reasons for this are:
1. to self-publish original E books
2. to give students and teachers a place to put their products so that others can see and benefit from the information.…
My tributes
All my presentations are finished by this message: “I thank the people who help me to search and find”. Even it is really very difficult to recognize all of my inspirations I would like to name at least some of them.…
The Balance Between Talking about the Work and Doing the Work
This is a video of frustration. It is a video where I am thinking through just how to find more time to create things rather than just talking about creating things. I am doing less reflection, but not because I want to.…
Museum in a Box – April 2013
Digital storytelling, the DS106 daily create, and content curation have led me to embark upon a project I’ll call Museum in a Box. Because I know I will not be able to do this daily or even weekly, I’ll try for a year of monthly museum displays in a box. …

Os MOCC s
Leio na atualidade muito mais debates sobre os MOOCs do que quando iniciei a minha experiência com o CKK11. Eu realmente passo, muito rapidamente, os meus olhos perante tantas leituras, com certeza para não influenciar as minhas resistentes e gratas impressões que ocorreram.…
motivation & creative learning spaces
Sometimes I feel like an octopus with many arms reaching out to all sorts of subjects that interest me. As a result, I have participated in several types of independent learning environments, including makerspaces, project nights, and informal classes, as well as more formal classes taught through an accredited institution.…
My #ETMOOC Experience: a reflection on reflecting
When I found this particular MOOC and considered joining it (knowing I was starting grad school and was about to begin the BIG class project about midway through it) I looked at it as an opportunity to connect what I was learning in grad school (I’m working on a Masters in Educational Technology) to what I want to do in my classroom.…
In the Home Stretch…Welcome Spring!
