  • RSS to Email with Feedblitz

    Digital natives may have abandoned email and moved to IM and DSN (instant messaging and digital social networking,) but many digital immigrants still prefer email.

  • Respond to DOPA with Moodle at your church

    Lots of buzz in the edublogosphere over DOPA— many people are asking the questions, “What should we do? What should I do personally?” Writing your Senators is a good idea, and a variety of edubloggers have been working the last few days to create sites and tools to help others take action. This morning after…

  • DOPA might not kill all DSN education in schools

To see the vote breakdown, check out GovTrack.us’s page on DOPA. You can also read the full-text of the bill on their website. Do…

  • Blog fasting and vacations defined

    Many, many thanks to Dean Shareski for generously guest-blogging the past week and a half as I traveled with my family to a family reunion at Hunters Peak Ranch, Wyoming, and spent four wonderful days in Yellowstone National Park!
