Connect your laptop to a TV
This evening at our church following a “partnering with parents” meeting to discuss changes to our youth ministries programs and classes, I had a conversation with another dad interested in using his new MacBook laptop in lessons he teaches on Sunday mornings. He has never connected it to a TV or projector, so I showed…

Apple Believes technology is not all you need, but a critical tool
Apple’s new iPad2 advertisement, “We Believe,” explains the company does not believe technology is ALL you need, but it’s a critical piece to make learning and communication not just easy but “delightful.” I definitely agree with the point that “technology should get out of the way,” and that is what I’ve found Apple technology consistently…

It’s wonderful to be here in Missoula, Montana, to spend a couple days with area school administrators discussing the need for educational leaders to create professional learning communities, to lead with “digitally informed” vision for blended learning, and support transformative models of professional development in our schools. I’ll be presenting and facilitating sessions here in…

Before sharing more of my own speculations about Apple’s highly anticipated product announcement coming this Wednesday, I’ll echo those of John Siracusa in his New Year’s post, “Antacid tablet:” I have no inside information. All of the predictions below are purely speculative. If you don’t want to read yet another blog post about what someone…

Leadership in the Digital Age – Apple 1:1 Informational Event #ok1to1
These are my notes from the Apple 1:1 Informational Event at MetroTech in Oklahoma City on December 1, 2009. MY THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS ARE IN ALL CAPS. This is an all-day event, sponsored by Apple Computer, but I am just able to stay for the morning. Today follows the Oklahoma State Department of Education’s Pre-bidder’s…

Why won’t Apple permit video recording on the iPhone?
It’s a simple, basic question but one whose answer eludes me. Why won’t Apple permit video recording on the iPhone? The application Cycorder, which only works on iPhones which have been jailbroken, permits iPhone video recording at up to 15 frames per second (the maximum the iPhone’s camera permits) at 384 x 228 pixel resolution.…

FORA.tv fixes ID3 tag issue
Kudos to Nick Ryan of FORA.tv— he read my recent post “The joy of Juice Receiver and PodNova” and left a comment. In that post, I lamented the fact that (previously) FORA.tv did not include descriptive titles for podcasts to facilitate decisionmaking about which episodes to download when users are just viewing the web feed,…
