And here is a wiki with even more info related to the ideas behind the video.

Welcome to our Instructional Technology blog! The purpose of this blog is to bring you tips, resources, and the latest news related to technology and education. Since this is a blog, please don’t expect any literary masterpieces to follow. It is basically a dumping ground for anything tech-related that I’m hoping you might find useful, interesting, or, at the very least, amusing.

First - a mini-byte of information for teachers returning to school and putting their computers back together - If you aren’t connecting the the network, make sure your network cable is plugged in to the correct port. Most of our computers have TWO ports for the network cable (just to confuse you a bit), so if the one isn’t working the other probably will.

On what’s new in IT - I recently read The Future of Learning Manifesto, originally done by Christian Long and then “cleaned up” by Scott McLeod, and found it pretty powerful. Sometimes it’s in the voice of the teacher and at other times in the voice of the student, but you’ll get the gist of it. Like the “Did You Know” video I shared with you at our kickoff faculty meeting, it’s designed to invite thought and spark conversation.

Welcome back and have a great year!
