Is There No Sanctuary?
So a freedom fighter of fair use got smacked in the face a couple of days ago. The Youtube copytright scanners… took him out. Why? Because he dared to look copyright holders in the face with this, this, this, and this? (pingback bonanza!) Groom had doggedly dodged and weaved against claims of copyright violations. But they simply reminded him of…

Apopcalyptic Start to the Summer
This past June I was able to teach a York College course for K12 pre-service candidates, Teaching With Technology during the summer session for the first time. We used a blog I created for the four week session which adopted a thematic title for the class, based on Jim Groom’s Educational Apopcalypse TEDxNYED talk. The site was named Why…

Giant Ants at Work Animated GIFs
This time I didn’t do any damage to the mobile phone microscope as I did for the animated burning candle. I shot these on my walk from the car to campus, which I did basically with my head down looking for ants. So of course you start to notice things you don’t normally including these…

I’ve been playing along asking them (and myself) to be makers, recognizing there will never be exactly what they want in the classroom.

One student described hers as “not terrible but having a lot of…

Ode to Timmmmyboy!
Thanks to Tim Owen’s Streaming for Pennies post that has been powering DTLT Today’s live stream, I now have an internet broadcast channel of my own without ads, for pennies. Daniel Phelps and I are really excited about the possibilities (above is an illustration of how easily we are entertained). We’re going to start by…

Vertigo, Dizzing Educational Awesomeness at UMW
Yes this post is an excuse to show another Alfred Hitchcock animated poster which I made while at UMW’s Faculty Academy (with Rear Window & North By Northwest this makes three, nine to go). But I’m not going to write about the film Vertigo and the designer of this poster Saul Bass. Ok one thing,…

CUNY Week 12 – How I Remember I Was There
cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by Howdy, I’m H. Michael Karshis Do you keep a box of your old ‘stuff’ somewhere? What’s in it? Why did you put it in that box? How often do you look through it and reminisce? I keep quite a bit of stuff tucked under a table…
