Getting ready for the holidays

I am really hoping to have some time to think about the convergence of a work/home blog. This of course is the personal side of things, though I feel that I’d really like to start to contribute on the work side as others are doing quite well on that front. I’ve been reading alot of articles as of late to prep for our Tech110 course that I’m going to be co-teaching with a faculty member from the Fine and Performing Arts College. He has some great ideas regarding module based learning. I too am interested in this concept though I feel even more compelled to embrace the social technologies that have been evolving for some time now. Combining these two agendas could prove to be quite the offering. I’m also going to make it a priority to start a podcast at UNL regarding technology happenings, education technology, and whatever else I see fit. My hope is to get anyone and everyone interested in these concepts on the agenda and do one every couple of weeks or at least one per month.

Happy Holidays early if I don’t get back to this thing before then. My hope is to segment a bit of time and try out some new releases of things, specifically MT4. I’ve been perusing the content at Penn State and the things they’ve been working on for a while. Their ETS Tech talk is quite interesting, they seem to be embracing the open source community in a major way. I hope to follow their lead and explore some of the things they’ve been able to implement on a very large scale.
