Jared Stein — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 02:49:00 +0000

@dlnorman Looks like I'm already booked. And, yeah, it's like flying to Europe. #
Ah, just noticed that @gardnercampbell and @cablegreen are both speaking at #ITC12 next month. Excellent. #
@dlnorman Just 2 days. #
@sophlevv Totally bummed about that sesh. #
Why am I feeling like my nook is the Palm of ereaders? #
Ugh, no ideas but mebe I can look, did you search the wordpress forums? #
@ninnypants Yeah, that was for @diamond_mind #
Interesting what different people focus in on when introducing me to a group. #
Just got an earful about the ANGEL-to-Canvas migration tool… an earful of praise! Go @brackenm #
@giuliaforsythe They might as well have said, Jared prefers argyle socks and brushes his teeth x2 a day. #
Simple but awesome Canvas use: students screen grab to clipboard, paste into assignment (or quiz) submission) = proof of task completion. #
@mattmcghie No. Freaking. Way. SFII excluded, Spy Hunter is my all time favorite quarter muncher. #
Utah Moves to Open Textbooks | iterating toward openness http://t.co/sXOrdlwy via @Diigo #
10 New Open Source Projects You May Not Know About | PCWorld http://t.co/I3bGrQ2J (including Instructure Canvas) #
You know you have too many tabs open when scrolling to the end makes you dizzy. #
@eMusicHelps Hey, I just reactivated, but neither of hte albums I just bought are downloaded/downloading. And now i have to rebuy? #
Rejoined emusic, and 10 minutes later I already want to quit. #
Late January lunch hour skating? In Utah? Yep. #
My 2yo has figured out the iPad, on her own. #
@injenuity It's crazy, I almost never use the iPad (it's for demos), but she's discovered how to find Pingu on Netflix. #
@injenuity Oh my, that video is hilarious. #
@injenuity Awesome! #
Do I even bother calling Comcast? Avg d/u speeds for the last 24 hrs at 1.5/0.6mbps #
@Comcastbill @ComcastMichael Well, my connection's been slow as molasses the last 24 hrs. It's usually not peppy, but this is awful. #
@injenuity Thanks for the tip! I'll try. #
@ComcastMichael Thanks man. LMK #
@ComcastMichael Any idea of what speeds I should be expecting for my area? #
@ComcastMichael Wait, you're kidding. I thought I was at 5/1.5 or something #

Jared Stein — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 02:49:00 +0000

There are a number of things that come naturally to me in writing. Humor is not one of them. #
For those interested in how I've been spending January weekends (skating aside): http://t.co/SqJejo5o #
My draft Canvas blog post on keeping it simple in desperate need of simplification. #
Looking forward to joining friends and colleagues at ITC eLearning 2012 month. #
One of the best parts of the semester is when my students start making blog posts. #
5.5 is the only one I can dl, so unless you have a copy… #
Canadian friends: is it best to fly into Edmonton to get to Calgary? #
@brlamb Yeah, I don't know why our agent recommended Edmonton. But I've never flown into that part of Canada. #
@sleslie @brlamb Thanks guys, I'll push for that. #
@sleslie @dlnorman ; #
@diamond_mind Did you serenade him with La Bamba? #
Slice the bananas right onto the buttered griddle. Lay that pancake batter all over the top. #
I wasn't that impressed with the new iBooks 2 textbook samples… until I began looking at existing K12 digital publisher content. #
Still, that $500 iPad does quite a lot to offset the bargain of a $15 textbook. #
@holden Someone needs to build a brilliant, usable, epub creator to support OER textbook projects. W(w)iki-books are not competitive. #

OLPC and Marvell Introduce XO 3.0 Tablet for Education Purposes – X-bit labs http://t.co/6aNxPdS6 via @Diigo #
@diamond_mind And that’s _exactly_ the kind of book I would be writing. #
Fellow desert-dwellers: cure for perpetually dry eyeballs? #
New Kepi Ghoulie album, “I Bleed Rock N Roll” http://t.co/oj4rPgoF #
Every time we implement a scheduled 2-week Canvas cloud update, I get all tingly. Continual, iterative improvements ftw. #
@marionjensen Best Answer Ever. #
@injenuity You _must_ have photoshopped that. The texture of the sky is crazy. #
@giuliaforsythe I think I have my watercolor subject for Saturday. #
@injenuity I know, I was being sarcastic. #
@giuliaforsythe I just started this year. #
@giuliaforsythe Not yet. I’ve literally been doing it for 2 weeks, and have maybe a handful of exercises. Now, where do you post yours? #
Oh man, how did I survive before adding Gmail’s Send and Archive lab mod? #
Speaking of watercolor, very excited about a block of envelope-sized 140lb paper that I picked up today, perfect for postal mailing. #
@giuliaforsythe Awesome, thanks for sharing! I’m trying to do 2 a weekend, just to get the practice in. May have to post some tonight. #
@giuliaforsythe seriously. It’s on my quota for the weekend. #

Jared Stein — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 02:49:00 +0000

@brlamb Hah, oh I better not be! #
@lottruminates I liked Cacoo and Mind42. Still like Bubbl.us for real concept mapping. #
Bb disclaimer: "the term ‘openness’ means different things to different people…" http://t.co/8FwhFgjN #
New Instructure offices are appropriately Awesome. #
@injenuity I ♥ usability testing. Last year I paid students with Jamba Juice cards. I think people like to help tech improve. #
@skydaddy To make new friends. AKA colleagues. #
@kylemathews Ooh, you're making a gtd app? Is that because you were so underwhelmed by wunderlist? ;) #
@robmba To be fair, I can get creative with application of the word "open" , too. But only after fully exhausting the meaningful definition. #
@injenuity Uh oh. But I can fix that… stay tuned. #
@kylemathews Yes I Do. #
@stevehargadon The institution/teacher/textbook is no longer the primary source of authoritative info. #detche2011 #
@xolotl @stevehargadon I'd suspect it is, if only because I see no other recent cultural phenomenon that has affected change in ed. #
@sleslie #occupyslesliesaquarium #
@jjulius Technology doesn't reify ed practices, but teachers/admins sure do! (But reverse is true for ed change, right?) #
Sfard's acquisition vs participation metaphors of learning resonate with @stevehargadon's list of cultural shifts. #detche2011 #
@jjulius I like your acknowledgement of (some kind of) balance of power between the tool and the user. #detche2011 #
@xolotl History of radio? Oh man, you're going to have to elaborate on that! #
Have to disagree that the uniqueness of the on-campus university experience is not expendable/replaceable. #detche2011 #
@stevehargadon Nice job on the #detche2011 keynote. Refreshing and useful message. #
Dinner at Lori's Diner in downtown SFO: meatloaf, mashed potatoes, chocolate soda. #
Presuming this isn't just a gimmick, the summary looks awesome: "Aligning quantum perspective of learning to ID" http://t.co/kg9olweR #
Phil Hall's mid-term post on Instructure Canvas's Securus Global security testing: http://t.co/ElcRouej #
Check out "Nobody Likes You (When You're Dead)" by Zombina and the Skeletones – http://t.co/JfVGdBdZ #
Poltergeist noises coming from my hotel room minibar. #

A Diagram of Reading Media

Jared Stein — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 21:08:48 +0000

I was in diagramming mode this afternoon, thinking through different aspects of the processes and interactions of reading. One sketch led me to the following simple visualization of printed vs. digital media. This draft excludes forms and modes, and may only be useful as a component of my own understanding:

@passiontask Definitely appropriating, with references to Csikszentmihalyi. (Do you actually /type/ the accents?) in reply to passiontask #
@passiontask I will, eventually–my reading list has grown long. At a glance, the appropriation does not impress me as, er, appropriate. in reply to passiontask #
@passiontask Those accents were just another nail in my ego's coffin yesterday. I figured myself sharp that I could /spell/ his name. in reply to passiontask #
Discussed efficiency strategies for Zotero references and PDF attachments with Seth G. Conclusion: the slow way is the only way. #
@passiontask Oh, that's right: who needs memory when we have Google? in reply to passiontask #
@passiontask Speaking of which, have you read Carr's "The Shallows"? in reply to passiontask #
RT @xolotl via @sleslie Dear Faculty: All those courses you are so worried about migrating suck. Love, @xolotl #
@passiontask A great combination of readings, I think. We'll chat about the two in November maybe? in reply to passiontask #
Mock usability studies in today's live session of DGM 2740 proved (1) power of real user observation, & (2) the power of ambiguous scenarios #
@passiontask Agreed, though many would presume that's contradictory. in reply to passiontask #
@passiontask Right, and that /could/ requires a gamble, and even if it pays out, is the cost acceptable? in reply to passiontask #
@passiontask Yes indeed, but isn't there a middle path? At least for a little while? in reply to passiontask #
@passiontask Funny you should mention that… But I'm only on the wait list. in reply to passiontask #
@passiontask It can't be a holding pattern for anyone; it must be a conscious recognition of situation with application of strategies. in reply to passiontask #
@passiontask Pecha Kucha #WCET10 with a related topic. But I'm betting I won't make it through the wait list. in reply to passiontask #
@passiontask No rigging it! in reply to passiontask #
RT @barrydahl: I don't see his name anywhere, but this is @Downes , right? The new D2L unknown comic? http://bit.ly/dvkKIB #

Your Brain on Computers – Use of Digital Devices Cuts Into Brain's Downtime – NYTimes.com #
@kenwoodward There's a long-term vacation opening over in my new unit… in reply to kenwoodward #
@kenwoodward You know it! Actually, I meant "long-term vacation" from your /current/ job. Work in higher ed's not /that/ easy… in reply to kenwoodward #
@brlamb Only suggestion is to make implicit ideas more explicit, e.g. design specifically for untethered activities, authentic/relevant, etc in reply to brlamb #
@brlamb Then I have accomplished something useful today. In either case. in reply to brlamb #
As I taught a f2f class for the 1st time in 2 years realized I have to compete with Facebook with either carrot or stick. Or else not care. #

Just discovered 7 years (1977 – 1985) of someone's personal journal hidden behind the filing cabinet in my new office. #
@clintlalonde I know. Do I read it in private? Or scan and post it as a blog? in reply to clintlalonde #

@robmba Thanks for the tip! in reply to robmba #
RT @diamond_mind: @jstein will like this explanation of a phd http://bit.ly/be7PQw (It's true!) #
At Blackboard demo hearing the few things LMS /should/ be good at (user tracking, notification, recursive sequencing) are still in infancy. #
Blackboard rep laments "not having a fancy tv commercial" to bring their message together in a compelling way. #
@melaniemcbride I'll ask… in reply to melaniemcbride #
I really hope each LMS gets the same privilege of tapping the Consortium's brains for how to best fulfill the RFP that Blackboard is… #
Found P Slade's page on British broadsides via @bryanalexander's post on Victorian hoaxes (http://bit.ly/cWtTUo) Love this internet thing… #
@kylemathews Digitally controlled branching and recursive learning paths based on metadata/assessment outcomes. (or intelligent "tutoring") in reply to kylemathews #
@kylemathews A few bookmarks re branching here: http://bit.ly/97XyRm in reply to kylemathews #
@skydaddy UVU's prof. Ron Hammond wrote 2 CC licensed sociology textbooks because of this sort of absurdity. in reply to skydaddy #
Failed to notice that frontman Kepi Ghoulie kept on rockin' after the 2007 dissolution of Groovie Ghoulies. 3 albums queued for download… #
Have new project management software narrowed down to ClockingIT (feature-laden, free/open source) and GoPlan (easier, but costs). #
@kylemathews e.g. automated mastery learning scenarios–revisit info based on assessment, alter path based of formative feedback, etc. in reply to kylemathews #
@kylemathews Oh, and for the record: I see it only as a "requirement" because it follows the nature of the LMS. Not required of e-learning.. in reply to kylemathews #

Twitter posts for the week

@qadmon People I've talked to at #ITC10 loved your insights into the open course you taught. Thanks again for the interview! in reply to qadmon #
Hacked away at 5 postcards tonight for my #motleyread friends. #
@diamond_mind Sorry man, wish you'd stayed over another night for #ITC10. in reply to diamond_mind #
@fncll Where are you at? Some alien world with bizarre but pleasantly catalystic recipes? in reply to fncll #
With the possibility of snow in Fort Worth overnight, I'm risking my safety to skate these Texas streets One Last Time. #
@fncll My uncle Rock-N-Ron lives in Anchorage. in reply to fncll #
@fncll But (I meant to type) I've never had a chance to visit. Cool city? #
@fncll I probably mentioned it in a past conversation; you know, I have very little to reference re. Alaska! in reply to fncll #
@BryanAlexander Ugetsu is so brilliant–and creepy! in reply to BryanAlexander #
Because I know I won't blog about it: places I ate in Ft Worth: Risky's BBQ, Cowtown Diner, Flying Saucer, Corner Bakery, and Jakes. #
Too dark and too cold to skate safely tonight! Looking forward to some early a.m. breakfast before @nancywhite's #ITC10 keynote. #
I love the narrative approach in presentations–it's almost always captivating. Go @nancywhite! #ITC10 #
@BryanAlexander Ooh, thanks for the recommendation. I will look into it. in reply to BryanAlexander #
@jonmott Amen. in reply to jonmott #
Hi mom! #ITC10 #
To manage "through technology or through process"? (Applies to netiquette, cheating, and more.) #ITC10 #
I dig that PowerPoint Auto Tweet. #
As an undergrad a forward-thinking English lit prof complemented class discussions with threaded discussions back in 1998. #ITC10 #
"Don't invest in something so big that if it fails, it's catastrophic." @nancywhite #ITC10 (LMS, anyone?) #
I think this intermittent showing of the Twitter backchannel stirs audience attention, refocuses. #ITC10 #
Though the emphasis has been on Twitter, great that @nancywhite stll asks for spontaneous oral feedback from the audience. #ITC10 #
.@richardleslie It's an app for Windows PPT called SAP http://www.sapweb20.com/blog/powerpoint-twitter-tools/ #
Love the reminder to go kinesthetic–even if you're not a so-called kinesthetic learner. Thanks, @nancywhite #ITC10 #
Some great /and/s rather than /or/s, e.g. "perform /and/ 'on the side'" @nancywhite #ITC10 #
I want to advance the use of tools to foster deep, reflective thinking rather than quick, reactionary thinking. #ITC10 #
@fncll You'll be happy to know that @nancywhite is modeling the practice _well_. #ITC10 All these great models emerging stokes me. in reply to fncll #
"I would never /not/ show up for a walk with my friend, but when she was out of town I wouldn't walk." @nancywhite on power of social #ITC10 #
@fncll I gotta say I think the Boyd example is still important by comparison. The more models–good /and/ foul–the better! #ITC10 in reply to fncll #
Also dig @nancywhite's consistent use of yoga imagery. What a great theme for a great talk! Thanks #ITC10 #
@fncll OK, OK, I was /just/ thinking the same thing! But you know as I do, reactionary thinking can be embarrassing. It does feed the fire.. in reply to fncll #
Too much in-fighting, backstabbing, nitpicking–general negativity amongst certain people… grumble>grumble #
@busynessgirl Check out, at least, slow-blogging. And couldn't that also be the impetus for ideas of performance-based progression in K12? in reply to busynessgirl #
@cogdog Here in Ft Worth it's already around 20*F–yesterday I couldn't wear a jacket. Here's hoping my flight escapes the storm. in reply to cogdog #
Any #ITC10 folks heading out to the airport today between 4 and 5pm? #
@sleslie I'm testing Instructure out this semester with one of my online courses. in reply to sleslie #
@sleslie Yeah, I've made one post so far on an interesting feature. in reply to sleslie #
@mweisman Add another $5 for a photo op and flickr upload. #
Had one #ITC10 attendee tell me @diamond_mind and I were too hard on Bb and the LMS; another that we weren't hard enough! #
5 higher ed Q's from @jonmott: Who do we serve? What do we provide? How do we self-assess? Best way to provide? Best way to organize? #
@fncll Quote of the day, my friend, qotd. in reply to fncll #
RT @fncll Err on side of caution. There's no danger of too LITTLE LMS use and a lot of danger in how it retards Instructional Design #itc10 #
"You can only Daniel Larusso the students for so long." @opencontent #byu2sigma #
@kylemathews Grab me a couple stickers! in reply to kylemathews #
Persisting question: is Bloom's 2 sigma problem/challenge still critical, or is it futile? #byu2sigma #
Persisting q2: has tech morphed and culture changed so radically that we have to discard/rethink our perspectives on learning? #byu2sigma #
@kenwoodward Because you know I'm going to ask you to brainstorm html template changes with me. in reply to kenwoodward #
@opencontent If we had no designated parties, would that help? Or hurt? in reply to opencontent #
@jonmott Surprised at the limits of some of the choices. No libertarian or socialist options for politics? in reply to jonmott #
I scored 63/100 on the Pew Research Center How Millennial Are You? Quiz http://pewresearch.org/millennials/quiz #
Debriefing after simulations accentuates learning through reflection as objectives are solidified. #iptseminar #
@jonmott Me? I just made up the answers and looked confident… in reply to jonmott #
@sleslie Thanks for posting this; it makes me feel like my day is not so confused after all… in reply to sleslie #
RT @sleslie this is really funny, sort of like the Abbott & Costello of Ontology http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2ujpzdeolA #
2nd semester in a row where I've been asked to take over a class for another instructor mid-semester. #
@fncll Sounds like my kinda day! If you're unlucky, you'll be back to strike mode by 10pm. in reply to fncll #
@mikhailg That's actually what got me into the Pixies in college (that and a fanatic girlfriend). in reply to mikhailg #
I thought I misheard NPR referring to Charles Dodgson as "Arthur". Guess not: http://bit.ly/dc5hvd #
@davecormier Hey, I /wish/ my French was anywhere near as good as yours. in reply to davecormier #
RT @ttix Don't forget: #TTIX 2010 call for proposals is now open at http://ttix.org TTIX 2010 runs June 9-11 in Salt Lake City. #
With no other classes to take this Spring, looks like I've got to bite the bullet and get into remedial stats. #
@diamond_mind I still don't think I'd make The Dude's team. in reply to diamond_mind #
Watching $JST like a hawk… (didn't realize $ was for stocks!) #
Working in an old PHP/MySQL system that I'd built (probably 10 yrs ago). It's not good, but it still works. #
IRS sent me a letter saying I made an error on my return by refusing a govmt handout. Deposited it in my account anyway. #
Fridays always end up a gruesome battle against the Dark Reinforcement Troops of Email. #
Jumping in as teacher for someone else's course mid-stream is chaotic, but forces me to consider weird ways to assess. #
Hard to admit it, but @kenwoodward and I spent an hour going in circles over a basic misunderstanding of SRC. #

Good times @ #ITC10; warm reception for Late Night Learning LIVE. Fab skating downtown, then hanging out with @jimgroom, @busynessgirl et al #
@NancyWhite I finally can take a breath and send out some #motleyread postcards. I have a dozen that need to be written and mailed. in reply to NancyWhite #
@fncll You're there in spirit, though we cut my Descartes bit that was inspired by your #TTIX talk. in reply to fncll #
Before I forget, a big Texas thanks to @jonmott, @jimgroom, @twoodwar, and @qadmon for really making the substance of our #ITC10 pres. #
At #ITC10 @jimgroom takes the stage. It's an early a.m. sermon; hope the congregation is alert. #
Listening in on their conversation explains why there's only one other person sitting at @diamond_mind and @johnkrutsch's table… #ITC10 #
"In the beginning… we had centralized IT….on the 4th day, the LMS" –@jimgroom #ITC10 #
Oh man, STEAMROLLED by an impromptu choir of @jimgroom fans! #ITC10 #
It's true: academia is pretty arrogant if we think students come to us for their identity. #
"We don't need an institution; we just need a website" (@jimgroom re. http://www.khanacademy.org/) #ITC10 #
We need more great Wikipedia class projects, more people modeling what's possible. #ITC10 #
Glad @jimgroom's explaining the feed syndication/aggregation method–lots of people still don't fully understand the power of FEED #ITC10 #
"When you do things on the open web, a certain number of things happen that you can't predict." @jimgroom #ITC10 #
"Open by default…really makes a big difference in how faculty understand their work" @jimgroom #
Funny: @jimgroom talking about dept's running a blog–at #UVU IT was pretty scared of WPMU for this reason, replacing campus CMS. #ITC10 #
Yeah, @jimgroom and I both wonder why it seems to be that students (w/out blogs) choose the institutional blog over options on the open web. #
@twoodwar You /were/ here! Everyone loved your part! But yeah, looking forward to meeting in person some time. in reply to twoodwar #
You know it's a good keynote when you're inspired to escape the session–just to start working on the stuff @jimgroom's talking about #ITC10 #
"That we have a direct impact on our community … is a key part of being an institution" @jimgroom #ITC10 #
"A domain of one's own" re. personal web sites to revitalize, /reclaim/ one's own liberty. Go, @jimgroom, go! #
Right! One of the best things about a system like UMW Blogs it showcases and it /features/ teacher, student work. #ITC10 #
Part of what makes @jimgroom an engaging presenter is he doesn't rely on notes (like I do)–it just flows out like body heat! #
"Twitter is great for visualizing the network." @jimgroom #ITC10 #
@busynessgirl Yes. But hopefully it's a transmittable disease. in reply to busynessgirl #
The UMW Literary Jounals course is fascinating–one of the few instances of an English dept. linking academics to outworld work. #ITC10 #
@mikhailg How could @jimgroom be on stage AND be overseeing his vast empire of the Internet at the same time? in reply to mikhailg #
@jimgroom Great job at #ITC10–fascinating content, enlightening insights, engaging presence. #
