I will continue to post all UM specific items to the Ed-Tech mailing list. Other items will only go to http://vilberg.com. Will that work for you?
DETAILS:
I have been coming up with a lot of thoughts and ideas this summer. Rather than send them all to ed-tech, I created a web page (http://vilberg.com) yesterday where I am posting quotes, web pages, personal statements, and more. On some days I expect to post 5-10 items. I am sure there will also be days that I only post a few or no items. I didn't think it made sense to flood your mailboxes with these, so I set up the web site.
Items have dealt with iPhones, higher education, web tools, special offers, and quotes. Here are some examples.
- My photographic memory, using my iPhone camera and the Evernote service
- Installing an AT&T MicroCell at my home
- The diminishing role of Information Technology in many software system decisions
- Some incredible TED Talk videos by Sir Ken Robinson
- A link to an article about the Arizona State University attempt to organize the institution by areas of study/research (i.e., Improving K-12 Education) rather than traditional academic departments
- A fascinating timeline/search tool: dipity.com
- Following a conference (#bbworld) on Twitter
- Upgrading my iPhone to iOS 4
- A great quote from students regarding their frustration with "the unsophisticated use of technology"
- Amazon giving away a free year's subscription of Prime (free 2nd day air shipping) to students with .edu email addresses
If any of these interest you, go over to http://vilberg.com and check things out.
I will continue to post all UM specific items to the Ed-Tech mailing list. These will include announcements of local events, opportunities only open to UM faculty, and such. My other items will only go to vilberg.com. on them.
