Projector vs. Projector

Well our More about Moodle session went just fine. We could see the wheels turning in the heads of the attendees...as if they were thinking "hmmm now how can I get Moodle running in my school/district.."

We were trying to plant seeds. Wanted to do the live demo but tech problems struck again.

BTW, just remember when a you see the word "projector" some people think this:



and then some people think this:




One can never underestimate the power of semantics. ;-) We were lucky in that most people at this conference are using the first kind so that meant we didn't have to compete for the second kind. Just a minute and a laugh. We'll get back to you with more later.

Action Research - Design for Learning

Happy to say I made it to Taos for the Center for Teaching Excellence Action Research Conference. The theme this year is "Design for Learning." Somethings wacky on my phone with my VersaMail (which is how I mobile blog) and I haven't quite got it fixed yet, so I have no pictures to show you. I'm actually on roaming right now so what you see comes directly off of my laptop. Would have made it sooner but it also took me a while to get my laptop wireless running (there's that whole laptop battery issue also, but that's ok).

Why is it we always have problems with technology when we need it the most?

Cest la vie!
