Netflix party of 1
Decided to splurge and buy Galaxy Quest (Amazon) for $2- I had a $3 credit and the sale price was $5. Good deal either way! It’s a fun movie!

I have a set of slides I use at the beginning of most of my presentations. It starts with a timeline that gives an overview of the information ages, and puts into context, just how new the age of the Internet is. This is the Wild, Wild West. As an instructional technologist I help guide faculty through their own explorations of leveraging tech.

Note, I plan to use this and other updated graphics in the sequel to the Tech Trends talk (fordham.edu/techtrends) I gave last year. Working title: A New Information Age.
I’ll also be talking about things like growing your PLN, using curation tools, the history of online learning at Fordham, effective pedagogy, hybrid/online learning, and more.
One more teaser.... YouTube channel launch coming soon...
