  • Blogging from 37,000 feet with Delta Airlines

    I’m finally heading home to Oklahoma City from the Mobile Learning 2012 Conference in Phoenix. I missed my connecting flight in Salt Lake last night because of a mechanical delay of an hour and a half departing Arizona. This is the first flight I’ve taken when I’ve successfully used onboard / in-flight wifi, so I…

  • Post an eBook from an iPad to Your Class Blog

    (Cross-posted from playingwithmedia.com) In this 3.5 minute screencast, digital learning consultant Wesley Fryer demonstrates how to use the $4 iPad application “eBook Creator” to export an enhanced eBook (in ePub format) to the DropBox application, and then email a public link to the ePub to a Posterous blog so it will “post” as a publicly…

  • Social Media Consulting Services

    At LONG last (I’ve needed to do this literally for years) I’ve added a new page to my site/blog for “Social Media Consulting Services.” This is linked under the drop-down menu for “ABOUT” at the top, but if you’re viewing my site on a mobile device you may not see that link. I encourage you…

  • A Story About Parental Feedback on a Student Blog

    Tomorrow I’m sharing a repeated 1.5 hour workshop for teachers in Yukon Public Schools (in Oklahoma) titled, “simple ideas for powerful sharing.” In addition to having fun and experiencing a “paperless learning experience,” I hope all the teachers participating in the workshop will successfully experience new ways for sharing digital text, digital audio, images and…

  • Embed a MP3 Audio File in a WordPress.com Blog Post

    WordPress.com is a good, free blogging platform, but it can be trickier than Posterous to get rich media (like audio and video files) embedded in posts. Unlike Posterous, which lets users directly email audio and video files to a site where they are automatically converted to an “embedded form,” with WordPress.com you need to post…

  • Going Mobile with WordPress and Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

    These are my notes from the January 30, 2012, Oklahoma City WordPress User’s group meet-up at The Div in Edmond. WordPress is a free, open-source content management system used by tons of folks worldwide to create websites. MY THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS ARE IN ALL CAPS. http://yesdancan.com is the website Dan Lovejoy built by hand (not…

  • Configure KidBlog for Safe, Moderated, Interactive Student Blogging & Commenting

    (cross-posted from playingwithmedia.com) This semester I’m working on a contract basis (thanks to federal grant dollars) as an “innovative instructional coach” in Yukon Public Schools. This morning I helped one of our sixth grade teachers facilitate her first lessons using free, ad-free class blogs hosted by KidBlog.org. In this post, I’ll share some of the…

  • Claim Your Online Content With Google+ Authorship Settings

    To take charge of your “digital footprint” online, you need to publish content which you “claim” virtually as your own. One effective way to do this is to add website links for sites where you regularly (or periodically) post using the Google+ Authorship program. (It’s free.) Some reasons to do this include: Customizing posts from…
