  • Share Recipes with Paprika Recipe Manager for iPhone

    This weekend I drove our son back to Denver, Colorado, and helped him get situated in a shared duplex as he prepares for his second year of studies at Colorado School of Mines. Since last year he was in a dorm and not cooking on his own, one of the things I’ve needed to do…

  • Podcast431: Encouraging Digital Sharing by Early Majority Teachers

    This podcast from the road by Wesley Fryer focuses primarily on ideas about encouraging “early majority” teachers (using Everett Rogers’  Technology Adoption Curve terminology) to digitally share ideas, lessons, and student work.

  • Why You Want to GateKeep Your Teen’s iOS Apps

    If your kids have iPhones and/or iPads, it’s a good idea to enable Family Sharing on your Apple IDs / iTunes accounts and on your iOS devices.

  • Create Embeddable Twitter List with List.ly

    This evening I created a linked list of sponsors for EdCamp Broken Arrow (coming up this Saturday just outside Tulsa, Oklahoma) using List.ly.

  • Encouraging Pre-Service Educators to Share Work Publicly Online

    (cross-posted from PlayingWithMedia.com) In her recent review of my eBook, “Playing with Media, simple ideas for powerful sharing,” Barbara Brown wrote the following paragraph which inspired me to literally jump for joy.

  • Unplugging from the Commercial Software Grid: Open Source is not Three Guys in a Shed Anymore.

    Since Wes called me Oklahoma’s “Open Source Yoda turned Wyoming Cowboy”in a recent post and has given me the opportunity to write while he is away I thought I would hit on one of my favorite topics for my final post, Open Source Software (OSS). Please let it be noted that Yoda probably has more…
