If this question had been asked five or six years ago I might have a longer answer. But over the years I’ve moved away from following hashtags on Twitter specifically, and now use lists some times, and then mostly an RSS feed to keep up with conversations. That being said, in the year 2021 if…

A post about my office buddy? Excuse me while I scroll through like 1000 photos of my cat. This is Susu Watari, and she is super helpful and keeps me company everyday:

If you’re familiar with Hayao Miyazaki’s films you might recognize h…

This topic could be tackled a couple of different ways. For example, I was an edtech student once, so I could share a project I worked on while in school – my pick would be the SHFS website and Everett Baker Slide collection project. It could be taken as a project I’ve seen that current…

I don’t really fit into the edtech scene on this question. At least I don’t feel that way. When it comes to tech, shiny is almost never on the plate for me. I still use a 2012 Mac Mini as my primary desktop. Most other devices I run into the ground before purchasing a new to…

What a challenging question. There have been so many talks that I’ve attended in person and watched online over the years both about edtech and beyond. I mean, here I could list any of the keynotes that Audrey Watters has given, and graciously shared on her website. They are always so thought provoking and inspiring.…

I’m noticing that initialisms are common in this June EdTech Challenge gig. I’m familiar with Continuing Professional Learning (CPL) and Continuing Professional Education (CPE), so I’m going to assume that CPD is Continuing Professional Development. These are some of the things I do to continue my own professional learning, your mileage might vary but these…

This was a tough challenge. How the heck do you capture edtech in a GIF? It made me think of that meme from years ago “what I do” series, where you had different panels of people’s perceptions of what you do for work. E.g. But as I scrolled through GIPHY I saw this kitten with…

Is KIT a UK acronym? I’ve never heard it here in Canada. If you’re from Norther America or elsewhere in Europe, do you use this acronym? I’m going out on a limb and will assume it means Key Information Technology. I think, and have seen a few responses so far that support this hunch, that many edtechs…

…case of every cord and dongle you might possibly need! Not only have I managed to get myself out of some sticky situations by having an abundance of cords with me, but I’ve also been able to help out presenters at a couple of conferences. I do have a new addition to something I always…

My reflex as someone who has one foot in the instructional design world and the other in the educational technology world I was going to say ADDIE, the ID process: analyse, design, develop, implement, and evaluate. However, I think LMS – Learning Management System – is far more reaching than ADDIE. I think you’d be…

What a great question, because it’s vague. If I take VLE to mean the same as LMS (Learning Management System on this side of the pond) then I would say Canvas. Over the past year we’ve moved from Blackboard to Canvas, and yes that is as much fun to do during a pandemic as you…

The Association for Learning Technology (based in the UK) is having a fun looking event this month, #JuneEdTechChallenge. The announcement states: We invite the #edtech community to join us tomorrow as we start our #JuneEdTechChallenge. Each day throughout June, we will share a challenge for you to get involved in. Remember to use #JuneEdTechChallenge to…
