Disrupting the Classroom, 2010
I have no idea how I missed posting this back when my good friend and colleague, Scott McDonald and I published it. Disrupting the Classroom was written based on our experiences in co-teaching our Disruptive Technologies for Teaching and Learning course in the spring of 2008. While some of this seems obvious at this point, some of it still seems in the distance as it relates to the current state of teaching with technology. In the paper we attempt to outline trends that point to emergent themes in supporting new forms of teaching practice.

Forget the Adults
Money quote? “I used to want to be an NFL football player, now I want to be an organic farmer.” How do I get this kid to speak at my daughter’s school here in State College?

More wonderful music for my cornflake soul.
The Ike Special
After a day of reading miserable comments from grown people about kids who are somehow different this video picked me up. With the score 35-0 and 0:10 seconds remaining in the game, the Snohomish Panthers run the Ike Special. Ike rushed for a 51 yard touchdown as time expires. Ike has Down Syndrome. Read more.
BTW, if want to feel terrible again, just read the comments on the YouTube video page.
New Yorker iPad App
Jason Schwartzman introduces The New Yorker iPad app. Directed by Roman Coppola. I just thought it was an awesome way to introduce an App.
Perfect acoustics
