The learning library is a place for people collect and share media and create challenges (activities). I am only just beginning to explore these tools. As always I found the conversation before and after the sessions rich and deep. My thinking is always stretch at such events. I have…

Finding a Research Question

Finding a Research Question

Comments 4 comments

Well I have taken notes on my initial and varied readings, and have written a list of questions.  I took that text and created a wordle, hoping it will lead to a more focused research question.  No luck, still wandering aimlessly.

I have been tagged by Fred AKA Riptide Furse. At the end of 2006 and in the summer of 2007  I was tagged by in a similar meme. It may have been the same one morphed like a game of telephone as it cycled around the eduverse.  So in reading what I wrote then, I am going to bend the rules a bit and share what I wrote.  They still seem relevant, and well I did not have as many…

I have decided to participate in the 365 Photo challenge for 2009.  Not that I need something else to do but will give it a try.  I created another blog to support this challenge.

At any rate I’ll contribute in however small a way to a pool of photos that people can use in their projects. All…
