Cool tools: Network visualization
27-01-2011, 05:21 CCK11, LAK11, network, social, visualizationThe other day I was reading a CCK11 blog on a way to visualize the connections on your LinkedIn network. Since this week's topic is "the network" on CCK11, I thought it would be cool to see how my network looks.

26-01-2011, 05:30 CCK11, connectivism, forums, socialThis week's readings bring back memories; memories of computer science (creating algorithms in C to traverse a network) and memories of my MBA (organizational development). Fun stuff!

In any case, with school officially over for me, I got my MA in Applied Linguistics, just waiting for my diploma now, I thought I would mess around with the concept of a Massive Online Open Course (or MOOC).
There are two MOOCs
Tech use in the classroom
14-01-2011, 17:48 opinion, responsibility, teaching, technologyBefore the new year came in, one of my linguistics professors sent me (and other classmates) an email looking for some feedback. The question was:
