Barbara Ganley’s recent presentation at Faculty Academy about “slow blogging” has me thinking a lot about the practice of blogging.
It occurs to me that we all talk about blogging as though we’re all engaging in the same practice, but I suspect that’s not true.

Well, gosh. Far more insightful people have commented on Twitter at this point. But I need a break from a night of marathon administrative work, and I thought I’d take it that break in my blog by chiming in.
Several years ago, when I began experimenting with the open-source tools available to us through our […]
I wasn’t sure if I was going to post this up here, but Gardner suggested I should. In the spirit of, well, everything that’s been going on lately, I’m going to take his advice.
The following is the text of a (brief) address that I delivered this spring at the induction ceremony for UMW’s Phi […]
David Wiley’s got a fascinating post up at Iterating towards Openness about the generation of open educational resources (OER) and whether we should take a consumer- or producer-oriented approach to production.

The first day of Faculty Academy 2007 is wrapping up, and I’m enjoying the ITS Monster Mashup Show.
Overall, it’s been a great day: wonderful presentations by our guest speakers: Barbara Ganley and Alan Levine and a smorgasborg of sessions by UMW faculty. I wish I could have been in all of them; I’m looking forward […]
I’m watching a panel discussion among Angela Gosetti-Murrayjohn, Susan Fernsebner, and Laura Blankenship, moderated by Steve Greenlaw. Sue just referred to a point in Barbara Ganley’s presentation earlier: is blogging already becoming passe? And, if so, what’s the next tool we’ll be embracing on the horizon? Or, as Sue put it “what mess can we […]
