I totally borrowed this from TechCrunch! But I just couldn't title it any better than they did. I hear about social media burn-out a lot and I just don't understand it.personally. Read the Techcrunch post here. I am still continually amazed that I can have a thought, and using a device that fits in my pocket, capture that thought, or real life experience, in text, photos, videos, or even just audio and automatically upload that content to a magical space that allows others AROUND THE WORLD to se

Blogger was born on this day (8/23) 1999. Six years later to the day I started the Corporate eLearning Strategies and Development blog - [link] It was not planned that way. It just happened. So now its been 5 years since I started blogging. Things sure have changed, but as I reflect, much has stayed the same. The following links are the only "anniversary" related posts I could find.

The more and more I get into the OpenSource Learning project with the Masie Consortium, the more I see the incredible possibilities. XplanaZine has taken the social networking idea in the world of quiz creation. Cool! I hadn't thought of that yet. Multiple people helping to craft the perfect assessments instead of random content experts writing their own and trying to be tricky.or worse funny.

My daughter is swimming Alcatraz with her team, Swim Neptune. They are working hard to raise money for a nonprofit: FAST - Foundation for Aquatic Safety Training. Local news coverage. There was video, but they don't leave it up for very long.bummer. Every year Arizona has far too many drawnings that could have been prevented. Coach Zemaitis has created FAST in an effort to help raise awareness and provide safety equipment, CPR lessons, and more, to families in need.

There is no better way to explain a wiki than to hear it from those who use it and find it useful. The folks at pbwiki have done a great job of gathering input from their users. Check it out!

Okay, so I didn't use ComicLife for this little comic strip. But I found a great little tool (thanks LifeHacker !) that's in beta called ToonDoo. It's done in Flash and is VERY cool.for a web app. My session title spedically refers to ComicLife which is a Mac-only app (Windows releasee is coming soon). But my session will be covering much more than simply how to click around inside of Comiclife.

One of the greatest things about the new web, or Web2.0, is the changing opt-in culture of conversations. There are many, MANY topics/conversations that I wish I could focus my time on. I scan many, a smaller number are read and consumed, and an even smaller number do I engage. I have been well aware of MOODLE for many years, excited enough about it to stay up to date but never having a need.

From Seth Godin comes NoBS.the New Order Business School. Brilliance! I would apply the sentiment to all other forms of formalized academia. The ONLY thing worth attending my graduate program for was the CD-ROM project that connected me with influencial Intel insiders (and a GREAT friend!) Most of the technical learning came from the kids in the lab.the PhD'd instructors didn't have a clue about how the technology worked.

One of my 3 sessions at the upcoming eLearning Guild Conference in Boston is about RSS and eLearning. So, it was wonderful luck to find a great post from Alex Iskold on the Read/Write Web blog called The Future of RSS. "In short, because of RSS ubiquity it is now a very attractive delivery medium for all kinds of content. However because the basic format is simple and primitive, there is no way to encode semantics without building an extension.

I put this together quickly, very late, last night. But I think it gets the point across. I recorded using IShowU which is an excellent little video screen capture tool. I didn't know it was picking up the application sounds because I could not hear them in my earphones, but I discovered that in fact it DID. You'll notice my comment towards the end about the cool application sounds.

Okay, so I borrowed this from Marc Cantor of PeepAgg. He actually calls them Digital Lifestyle Aggregators which works for me too because we are all talking about Life-longer learning as the new cornerstorn by which we do all that we do. So Life, Learning, its all the same to me. If you've stopped learning you've stopped living. DLAs are definitely the future.

As a father of 3 kids, all in school, this does not surprise me. They have my kids for six hours a day and can't seem to teach them anything.whats up with that?

eLearningGuild Con 2007, Boston, is done. I'm sitting in Logan with about 2hours to kill before my flight. The last few days were filled with incredible experiences and I didn't stop long enough to write down any of them, or blog them. So, here I sit trying to recall all of the goodness. Instead of writing down one long trip report, I think I'm going to do short posts on topics as they hit me.

One of the big surprises at the eLearning Guild Conference was seeing the many improvements over at the Proton Media booth. Lots of buzz amongst my colleagues in this space.

I was able to sit in on a session this year and I so listened to Stephen Downes talk about PLEs. I've been following Stephen for a couple years and so it was a pleasure and honor to not only hear him speak, but to sit on a panel discussion with him (I'll cover more on the panel discussion in another post). But reading The Bamboo Project blog reminded of how our digital lives are spread all over, and the idea of a PLE is quite compelling.

I may be biased because its my wife , but I know all of you that read my blog have someone in your life that you care deeply about and is at risk for a fall. The stats shock me still every time I see them. This PRWeb press release came across my reader via a google alert that I have set up for fall prevention. And yes, in total disclosure, we DO sell a video on fall prevention.

PLEs were a hot topic at the eLearning Guild Conference in Boston, and its no surprise to me that they continue to be a hot topic. The other story: After I posted a quick review of Stephen Downe's presentation at the Guild conference on PLEs, Stephen pointed back to Michele's site.we all know what that does to your numbers ;-) This encour

Unibroue discovered at local Cost Plus Originally uploaded by Brent Schlenker. After learning about Unibroue in Boston last week I've on a mission to find it in AZ. Mission accomplished.well, sort of. Cost Plus only carries 2 flavors. What does this have to do with Learning? EVERYTHING! A wonderful experience makes for a memorible experience. A compelling story is part of creating that experience: I don't believe that simply drinking the beer is enough.although its darn good beer.

I put out an idea early this month about teachers putting themselves on the open market. The tools I find, the more I see this as our future reality. TeacherTube is great!

I'm checking with them now to see if I can get this up and running for my daughter's Alcatraz swim this week.

MAJOR UPDATE: Well, being out of the blogosphere for so long confused my brain and I blew it on this one. The post you see below is WRONG! CC Chapman does NOT do TWiM podcast. However, one thing i did get right is that CC is EXTREMELY passionate, and I DO LOVE Managing the Grey (his actual new media podcast) and the CrayonCast. Too many podcasts, so little time :-( _ One of my favorite new media gurus is CC Chapman from Crayon.

I don't normally find anything good in the magazine section of the local grocery store and so I'll rate this as an anomoly. A couple weeks ago I found Discover presents The Brain.
