The Loneliness of a Long Distance Thinker I’ve always been haunted by the title Howard Rheingold used for his chapter on Doug Engelbart in his epochal Tools for Thought. Doug was still active in 1985, when the first edition of Rheingold’s book was published. He was traveling and speaking and working with undiminished vigor to share his vision of the augmentation of [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Postscript on Vannevar Bush   Last week’s New Media Faculty-Staff Development Seminar at Virginia Tech focused on “As We May Think,” and the discussion was lively, both in the room and on the seminarians’ blogs. I would summarize the main concerns thus (and I invite my fellow seminarians to comment and elaborate as they choose, either here or by [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Learning, invention, greatness I came across a striking sentence yesterday in one of the books I’m reading, Norbert Wiener’s Invention: The Care and Feeding of Ideas. For a great period of invention, the artisans must become philosophers or the philosophers, artisans. I think Wiener is right, and I have several thoughts following that statement: The moments of insight that characterize deep [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Free, as in Unfettered I do many presentations these days centered around the idea of openness and the value of teaching ourselves and our students the ways and means of digital citizenship, which for me inevitably includes publication to the open Web (there’s that “open” thing again) and subscribing (RSS or otherwise) to material published to the open Web.

Dr. Wilson Chen and the Benedictine General Education Task Force kindly invited me to speak to the way information and communication technologies could inform a revised general education curriculum–and, by implication, [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Media Fluency: NITLE Summit 2010 In late March of this year I was privileged to speak at the 2010 Summit of the National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education. It was my second time at a NITLE Summit. The first time was 2008 in San Francisco, when one afternoon I found myself talking to Provost Randall O’Brien of Baylor University [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Assessment in a Web 2.0 Environment I agree in principle that we who work in education should be able to describe what we intend to do, and that it is important that we find a way to demonstrate to what extent we have met those goals. But that principle is a principle of almost unimaginable complexity. Rather than proliferate crude measures of recall [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Fra Lippo Lippi: Beauty, Connection, Meaning No less contradictory and complex than his Andrea del Sarto, Browning’s character of Fra Lippo Lippi stands for a wholly different attitude toward art and beauty. This artist sees all the tangles that Andrea del Sarto does, but those tangles never spiral into cloying self-pity, angry accusations against beauty, or philosophical paralysis. Instead, this riven [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Andrea del Sarto: Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt I’m one of the keynote speakers for the New Media Consortium’s Symposium for the Future this week (the other is the amazing Beth Kanter), and I’m hoping to stir things up a bit by placing some wildly diverse concepts in conversation with each other. The title alone demonstrates the “wild” part pretty well: “Two Painters, [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Intuitions, Networks, Disruptions For those who’ve asked: yes, I do continue to record my presentations, even though I haven’t posted any audio for a long time. I’m hoping to rectify that (if “rectify” is the right word) over the next few weeks. Fair warning! Here’s part of the audio of a presentation I did recently at the University Continuing [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Realized metaphors It seems like only yesterday we were all partying like it was 1999. Now it’s 2009 and there’s not much left but hangovers. Yet I must in all candor report that I learned a ton in 2008, and not all of it was via cautionary tales, either. In fact, a lot of what I learned was [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Excerpting audio from ITConversations Promising new functionality from ITConversations: one can build a URL that will excerpt a portion of the recorded audio. I’m testing it here: [audio clip] The only hitch in the get-along is the requirement to specify a start time “after the intro.” As a former ITConversations post-production audio editor, I reckon this means after the show theme, [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website A conversation with Errol Morris This is my 500th blog post. To mark the occasion, I’m podcasting an interview I did with filmmaker Errol Morris back in March, 1997. The audio, alas, isn’t very good. I hadn’t planned to put the audio out at all, actually; the tape recorder was there as a backup to my notes, just as it was [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Apt Numbers, or, Sense Variously Drawn Out Monday I was honored to deliver the keynote address for the 2007 Kemp Symposium here at the University of Mary Washington.
