Give a blogger a boost

Posted on April 14, 2008 at 3:47am 0 Comments 0 Likes

In response to a lot of discussion that's happened lately on edublogs about feelings of isolation and frustration, I came up with a few ideas for all of us to help fellow bloggers along, and maybe even get something back ourselves. Here's the short version. If you want to read more, click here.

1. Slow down. Take maybe 10% of the time you devote to your own blog, and use it to read a little… Continue

Thinking, learning, and language

Posted on July 14, 2007 at 3:13am 2 Comments 0 Likes

One of my former professional pursuits involved field research in the western highlands of Guatemala, investigating some of the causes of the decline of a Mayan language. I had to learn a bit of the language myself, and made recordings of conversations to document the language. I just uploaded a 90 second clip of one of those conversations to the music/podcast frame on the left side of my page in Classroom 2.0.

Hi all. I'm a Houstonian (Texas, USA) living in Ankara, Turkey with my wife and two

sons. I help coordinate the International Baccalaureate program and

develop other projects for a large Turkish private school. Those "other

projects" at times include instigating more integration of ICT

(especially Web 2.0) in education. I guess an indicator of my success

is that I have nearly 30 students listed as my fans on del.icio.us… Continue

Qué experiencia. 17 años en un país tan convulsionado, toda una aventura.

At 2:16pm on April 14, 2008, Gabriela Sellart said…: Hola Tom! qué sorpresa tu comentario en español (o en castellano). Es evidente que seguiste practicando.
Estoy sacando cuentas y (no soy muy buena en esto) debés haber estado por acá en los primeros años de la democracia después de la dictadura. Esos eran años felices, de festejos y esperanza.
Recientes conflictos entre el gobierno y el campo nos dejaron un buen tiempo sin asado, ahora hay, pero carísimo. Supongo que en Catamarca, además debés haber comido unos cabritos, o chivitos, qué rico!
Pensaba, en los "extras" de estar conectados. Yo escribo "asado" y disparo un recuerdo tuyo en otra lengua. Vos me dejás un comentario y disparás un recuerdo mío, de otro tiempo.
Un sorpresa y una alegría tu comentario.
Cariños

At 2:32pm on August 22, 2007, samccoy said…: Tom, so good to see you here. I was on another .ning educational site, and I discovered this one. I was reading the rss feed question, and there you were. I hadn't seen you in a while on TappedIn, but I follow your research on del.icio.us. It is excellent and interesting.
Won't you be my neighbor?

Yes i am here too. Thanks for your recent comment on my blog. You brought some good perspective with your reflection on where you learned those skills.
I know how you feel about keeping up with blogging , thinking etc. I just posted today from BLC while others who were there have posted many times already about their thinking.
