Day 3 did not let up at all – Digital Redlines – #DigPed 2017

Going into it I thought day 3 may let up a little bit. After the breadth of conversations and activities of the first two days I needed some chill time. Sean encouraged us to take this time in his opening remarks, but I’m pretty stubborn. Although it is a long week, it is but a […]

Borrowing notes & memos – Day 2 from #DigPed 2017 #FXBG

Things heated up today. Before I could jump into the keynote, I had to call into the New Faculty Orientation session happening at Davidson College. There’s an interesting group of new faculty and our Instructional Design team had a chance to talk about our work and aspirations. We have a pretty cool team: Kyo Koo, Brian […]

Hellos, Intros, & Memos from #DigPed 2017

I’m finally here. For years I have been part of Digital Pedagogy Lab Institute (DPLI) community – perhaps not a major contributor to the larger body of work, but an enthusiastic collaborator and instigator at turns. Two years ago I yearned to be at the first DPLI in Madison – I watched from afar […]

As a GNU variant, we hope that more platforms and DIY solutions emerge. Our optics are around […]

Sensory memory is so tightly tied to sound that we (or I at least) often recall so many things based on the sounds of our […]

forever cohen

Leonard bids farewell. I have heard/read a lot of his work and am happy he left us with a great final record “You Want it Darker”. For those of you who know me, he was a HUGE influence on my world view. My work. My soul. For me he was equal parts insightful, […]

An #opened16 #IdeaVomit

Gardner Campbell’s opening keynote was preceded with a short film he’d made. Divergent and clashing visuals and sounds meant to frame a complex/chaotic story of how @gardnercampbell struggles with his own sense making. Or at least that’s what I thought it was. Amongst the clashes was A LOT of Bob Dylan. Many clips from “No […]
