I am excited to announce a call for articles on Failure and Creative Risk in Technology-Enhanced Learning for a special section in the journal Tech Trends, edited by Danah Henriksen, Punya Mishra, Edwin Creely, and Michael Henderson. You can download the the...
I sent the past week in San Diego at the SITE 2022 conference—first face to face conference in over 2.5 years. It was great to get out meet old friends, make new ones, and just spend time together. Below are (for the record) the papers and presentations that I was...
I recently received an email from Debra Bourne, IT Coordinator at St. Paul's International College in Australia informing me about some work related to TPACK being done in Queensland. Specifically she mentioned a paper to be presented at the upcoming Australian...
I had written before, CEP917: Knowledge Media Design, a course taught by Dr. Danah Henriksen and myself, in the Fall semester of 2012, received First Place (in the Blended Course category) in the2013 MSU-AT&T Instructional Technology Awards Competition. The awards...
This is the first of a series of blog posts about how media influence our thinking. This, the first post, uses the invention of writing and print to unpack the meaning of McLuhan’s statement, “The medium is the message.” The second post, focuses on a story by Ted...
Last summer Matt and I created a couple of TPACK commercials for a video presentation we had been invited to make at ISTE in Denver. You can see the commercials here and here and the entire video here. Recently, Spyros Doukakis, a PhD candidate at the University of...

Just discovered a podcast on TPACK (titled Understanding TPCK) at the msad75mltinews website. It appears to be based on the article (Too cool for school) that was recently published in Learning & Leading with Technology.
Oliver Sacks has a fascinating piece in today's NYTimes (titled Patterns, as a part of his NYTimes blog, Migranes, perspective on a headache). Oliver Sacks describes the visual auras he has suffered through his life as follows: tiny branching lines, like twigs, or...
Excellent points, I completely agree on that…
Your daughter is really creative.I liked her film.
Great information shared. Well done.
ya, I would like to try with my middle school technology class.
We used a digital video camera connected to a MacBook laptop running iStopMotion software. Final editing (and sound) was done using iMovie. I plan to post a picture of the setup in day or so.
Could you explain the hardware and software used to create this? I would like to try with my middle school technology class.
Cool! One suggestion…. Are you setting focus, exposure, aperture and everything manually? It looks like it may be changing from frame to frame, and might look better if it stayed locked (manually).
This was created by 5 different girls yelling, screaming, shrieking, shaking, all the while. It is a wonder anything was in focus at all 🙂
And given this was the first time ever doing something like this (for most of them) I am amazing anything showed up at all 🙂
