Too Stupid to Multitask

http://dougpete.wordpress.com/2009/07/04/too-stupid-to-multitask/

That was me yesterday.  If you’ve been following this blog, you’ll know that I was inspired by a young man at the NECC Conference to download and install the latest Ubuntu Notebook Remix on my Dell Mini 10V. I was looking for a way to run Jaunty Jackalope on the extremely portable device instead of [...]

Best in Show

http://dougpete.wordpress.com/2009/07/03/best-in-show-2/

This is going to be tough.  I pondered about what I would declare to be the best thing that I saw at the recent NECC conference.  I had so many things that were special about the conference this year.
First, there were the people.  I got the opportunity to meet Sylvia Martinez, Paul Wood, Sharon Peters, [...]

NECC 2009 Day 3

http://dougpete.wordpress.com/2009/07/02/necc-day-3/

The last day of the conference proper turned out to be just as hectic as the previous days and equally as rewarding in terms of my learning and ideas to bring back for sharing with our teachers.
First up, it was time for a session with Alan November.  After messing around with the audience response units [...]

NECC 2009 Day 2

http://dougpete.wordpress.com/2009/07/01/necc-2009-day-2/

Things didn’t slow down for Day 2 at the NECC Conference.  If anything, things got more hectic and spread into two cities.
The morning started with a debate around the idea that “Bricks and Mortar Schools are Detrimental to the Future of Education”.  Moderated by Robert Siegel from National Public Radio, three speakers in support of [...]

NECC 2009 Day 1

http://dougpete.wordpress.com/2009/06/30/necc-2009-day-1/

It was a very busy day 1 at the NECC Conference.  With so much to do, you feel guilty even stopping for lunch because you might miss something.
The courtesy bus transportation from the hotel to the convention centre is so convenient that you just scoot in and you’re ready for action.  Since I had pre-registered [...]
