Chapter 3 I like how our authors call “cramming” out. “Cramming” has always been discouraged in my schooling, moreover, in my experience, I could see that it did not suit me. Interestingly they offer that intervals between study sessions, and allowing for a bit of forgetting seems to be a more optimal approach. They introduce…
6 photographs Assignment, ED 659
Photo manipulation is daily work for me. My job involves sizing and optimizing images for the web, and print. I am handy with Adobe Photoshop. That is not to say that I am a good photographer. I started using 35mm film SLR when I was a kid. My Grandfather tried to teach me about his retirement-passion…
Current Topic One, ED 650
Sometimes I find it more efficient reading to work backward from the author’s conclusions. In our text, Make it Stick: The Science of Successful Learning, Brown, et al. end the second chapter with this summary.

Advice for Future Students, ED F654 : “Digital Citizenship” & Intellectual Property

Examples of accommodations and modifications include modifying rules, policies or practices; removing architectural or communication barriers; or providing aids, services, or assistive technology. “(i) modifications or adjustments to a job application process that enable a…
ADA, Questions
What are best practices for instructors and designers when building online courses sensitive to ADA? What are public or private college-university’s responsibilities to students with disabilities?

ADA, Single Starting Point
(though I guess you could do three not-so-long blog posts. But wouldn’t that be boring?) So, Bob is a little overbooked and is playing the boring card. I started a new job 7/24. I am participating in the iTeach summer intensive and trying to get, my winter fish in this week. Exploring the ADA and…
Search & Research
Protections for intermediaries from liability for users’ content are necessary to a vibrant, innovative Internet. These legal protections allow Internet access providers, content hosts, social networks, and others to support a robust online environment for free expression without worrying about potential liability for the material stored on or moving across their networks.
