I have been asked to look into Moodle. According to Moodle, it is:
A Free, Open Source Course Management System for Online Learning. A virtual Learning Environment.
It is modular and scalable so that it can be customized for a small school or group to a large university w/ 200,000 students. They have 34 pages of add-ons [...]

Only 2 weeks left in the semester. Now, I really must decide if I am joining the EDLT program. I don’t want to in many ways. It does not really excite me. I am not thrilled by pedagogical theories and obscure learning theorists. I like that the program is about technology but it is hard [...]

We are still going through the old pictures and Deanne pulls out this on with a laugh.
This was taken in Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia. I spent about a month there just bumming around. Everyone who sees this laughs and says it looks like I am posing in front of MY restaurant.
I ate at the Restaurant Islamic [...]

My Mrs. was going through old documents and folders and she came across this old photo of when we first met. What a hairy bunch! Oh, the drains that we clogged.
This was a fun Christmas in Scotland in 1995. I don’t remember the dread-locked fella’s name… i think maybe Tony. Everyone else… well, you know [...]

Yeah, springtime is here. We are glad to be back in Las Cruces. Both of us were talking about how this last trip changed our perspective on this little town and the life we have here. Its warm (OK maybe a little too warm at times - nothing a little refrigerated air can’t fix), and [...]

Just fixed my iMac. Of course, it had to die one day after getting back! It started the first eve we got home and we were able to check email and do a few other things. However, next morning it did not start. I pressed the start button and all it would do is make [...]

I was working on this some time ago:
I have a 3/4 front and back view of the car. I spent quite a bit of time drawing this out. I was looking through my pictures and found it again and decided to do something with it. I’ll do some finishing touches and maybe shop it around [...]

Just found out I might be presenting at the Games + Learning + Society Conference in Madison Wisconsin!
While I was in Scotland my colleagues realized the deadline was approaching and included my name on a proposal. Thats cool. I’m glad they included me. It looks to be a superb opportunity to meet with some peers [...]

The chocolate gifts that I brought back from Scotland seem to be going down well. Anyone who loves chocolate can immediately tell the difference. Barb sent me an IM about the fab “Flake”.
My personal fav is the Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer. I brought back lots of them to share. The fowk at Deanne’s work loved them [...]

OK, time to catch up now. Being away for a couple of weeks is sometimes hard to come back to. I have been almost entirely analog for the past couple of weeks… just the blogging and a little email (can’t expect me to go cold turkey?! )
Renewed appreciation for Las Cruces sunshine! The sun has [...]
