Twitter for Learning & Professional Development
Apr 8th
By week’s end, I will have presented and facilitated four hours worth of sessions focused on learning – in classrooms or as personal professional development – with social networking tools and, specifically, Twitter. Both sessions are at the Texas Distance Learning Association 2009 Annual Conference in Corpus Christi. I’ll be posting more thoughts and resources here, but I also have session content available at a sister Edtechatouille Google Sites page.

Feb 25th
Attending ITC eLearning 2009 Conference earlier this week, the last session focused on The Nature of Mobile Learning delivered by Jeff Kissinger. Generally, the session focused on the design principles and implementation logistics behind a mobile learning project completed with a division of the armed services. I spent much of the session asking and discussing several questions that came to mind. I wanted to repost some of the themes through the live blog and my questions/thoughts in this space for broader feedback and discussion. Several resources may be useful. Sherrymn, Evinsmj and others liveblogged the session via CoverItLive, and Sherrymn tracked down a version (perhaps a little older) of the presentation Jeff used during the session.
Device Specificity. One of the characteristics of early mobile learning efforts Jeff described was the tendency to develop content for a specific device; in fact, it was mentioned twice on one of his early slides. More >

Jan 21st
A colleague is attending Educause Learning Initiative 2009 Annual Conference and is live blogging Michael Wesch’s keynote address. One of Wesch’s comments struck a nerve with a line of thought I’d heard recently elsewhere.
There are really no natives to the net. So many of the technologies are less than 4 years old. We are all in the same boat, faculty and students.
None of our current K-20 students have grown up with YouTube or Facebook or Twitter or iPods or RSS Aggregators or Virtual Environments etc. Many of the potentially, educationally disruptive technologies have surfaced with “Web 2.0″ in the last 3-5 years. More >
