Posted on 23rd April 2015 by NomadWarMachine

This week in #rhizo15 the topic is about how to measure learning. Just for fun, I put some of his blog posts through Turnitin. Two of them came back with 0% similarity, this one came back with 4%. Dave is … Continue reading →

Playing pictures

Thanks to the amazing Kevin (@dogtrax) I am learning lots of new skills. Over the weekend he played some pictures of #rhizo15 and shared his method.  I’d been meaning to do something about an image that Simon (@sensor) had tweeted over … Continue reading →

Steal and Remix

Posted on 17th April 2015 by NomadWarMachine

So I know Alan objects to us using “stealing” to mean “remixing with the author’s permission”, but it’s something I say quite often, along with things like “can I nick a chip?”, although bizarrely I get mildly irritated when folk … Continue reading →

Rhizomatic follower of rhizomes

My perspective on #rhizo15

Posted on 16th April 2015 by NomadWarMachine

Not so private after all

Posted on 15th April 2015 by NomadWarMachine

Learning in private

Posted on 11th April 2015 by NomadWarMachine

Posted on 15th March 2015 by NomadWarMachine

I’ve been talking a lot in my various social networks, communities, collectives (whatever the heck we are!) about exactly what #rhizo14 was.  Was it a MOOC? A course? A happening? A party?  Who knows.  At the time it all began we … Continue reading →

Wittgenstein PI

Posted on 1st March 2015 by NomadWarMachine
