Matt Koehler and I usually have a end of semester show-case of work done by the students in our classes. This semester Matt has been teaching CEP955 (Research design and methods for educational psychology and educational technology) and I have been involved with CEP917 (Knowledge | Media | Design). The end of semester showcase is coming up on the 10th of December (from 2:00 – 3:00 PM) in 133 D & E Erickson Hall. The students this year have done some really interesting work – which I will document here, hopefully sometime next week.

We usually design a special poster for the event (below).

If you are in / or around Erickson Hall, we hope to see you there.

Responding to my reading…

I had written a response to Mohsin Hamid's The Reluctant Fundamentalist a while ago (read it here). Yesterday, I received a note from Irfan critiquing my take on the novel. This is what he wrote: Punya, I read the novel and it does not seem to me, as you interpret,...

I teaching CEP817, Learning Technology by Design in the spring semester. This is a course I love but it also one that needs to be redesigned. So I am always on the look-out for new resources that can help me rethink the class. I just came across the following website:...

ISTE 2010, TPACK Radio/Video Show!

Jun 30, 2010

I have never been able to make to the ISTE (formerly NECC) conference since it falls bang in the middle of my summer teaching. This year was no exception. The only problem is that, this year, Matt and I had been invited to a special forum by SIGTE (titled "Considering...

The value of research

Oct 10, 2008

A few years ago I was asked to talk to some major donors of the College as a part of the kick-off of the MSU Capital Campaign. The text below is what I had written out prior to giving the talk. It is not an exact transcript of what I actually said, since I...

You have been terminated: A case for humane design

You have been terminated: A case for humane design

Aug 14, 2023
