I hadn’t planned on getting my writing life in order today, but then I somehow happened on this post by Michele Martin on using Delicious to create an online portfolio. Since I have a couple of articles due out this fall (and a couple of new books in the works), I decided a good place [...] SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "A Delicious Digital Footprint", url: "http://weblogg-ed.com/2008/a-delicious-digital-footprint/" });

Ok…so I really am searching for words as to how cool Piclens is. And I know; I shouldn’t get so buzzed by the tools. But I’m giving myself an exception here just because I’ve been fooling around with this thing for about an hour since I downloaded it and it’s like mesmerizingly fun…and useful. It’s a [...] SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "PicLens…Whoa!", url: "http://weblogg-ed.com/2008/piclenswhoa/" });

Just testing you can guess what… Sure wish I had smaller thumbs! SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "iPhoneblog", url: "http://weblogg-ed.com/2008/iphoneblog/" });

Kind of spur of the moment I decided to UStream all of my presentations at MICCA in Baltimore, and in the midst of doing so noticed some cool upgrades, the best of which is the ability to “cohost.” (Notice the little link in the bottom left of the picture.) This may not be all that [...] SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "UStream Fun", url: "http://weblogg-ed.com/2008/ustream-fun/" });

Before I pull myself the last couple of steps up from my recent blogging funk, a quick item from the “Things I Wished I’d Known for the Last Two Years Department.” My major, major, major frustration with Google Reader has always been what I thought was the inability for me to mark a post “unread.” [...] SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "“M” for, um…”Unread”", url: "http://weblogg-ed.com/2008/m-for-umunread/" });

I’m not following all that many people on Twitter, I know, but even with the ones I do follow there are upwards of 300 “Tweets” a day, far too many for me to get to in most cases. I like following the updates when I’m online, but I confess I rarely go back and see [...] SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Tweaking Twitter", url: "http://weblogg-ed.com/2008/tweaking-twitter/" });

I may be late to the this party, but the Twitterverse just led me to this fairly new theme for WordPress named Prologue which seems to create a Twitter-like blog that can be installed locally. Here is a demo to check out. And here is another, YouthTwitter.com that was put together by Paul Allison and [...]

On the somewhat surreal occasion of the 1,000th person to follow me on Twitter (really, how is that possible?), and since Twitter seemed to be on the tip of everyone’s tongues at EduCon this weekend, it’s probably an appropriate moment to reflect on how I’ve evolved in my thinking on this strange yet somehow important [...]

Not sure if this has been blogged much but UStream now has a privacy feature as in the ability to password protect your show. That’s a huge first step that all of a sudden makes classroom television a little more palatable for teachers. Let’s kick this around a bit…this lets us provide a limited, invited [...]
