		<title>Change in Education</title>
		<description><![CDATA["We change when it hurts less to change than it does to stay the same." - George Siemens
It's a big ship to turn around, but I suspect that we're no where near hurting enough to change. There's too many people who are involved in the old way of doing things, too many systems in place [...]]]></description>

		<title>Multiple LMS Usage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At Mohawk College, we use multiple learning management systems. I know this is odd, not many folks have the luxury of playing with Blackboard, WebCT, FirstClass and Desire2Learn (as well as Moodle). We're closing in on the dates that will eventually close Blackboard and WebCT as our license will be up. I've been alternately happy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Always-On/Off/On?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As we move to  a pervasive, constantly connected state - and isn't mobile just another word for everywhere - what does this mean for us as a whole? We're already struggling for a work-life balance - and stresses are showing at the margins already. People are overwhelmed, unable to keep up and give up. These [...]]]></description>

		<title>Color</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Considering I've been back on the aesthetics bandwagon the past few days (further carving out a niche as someone put it in an e-mail to me) I began to think about color. First thing this morning, an article about choosing the right color for your website - which got me thinking about the right colors [...]]]></description>

		<title>Type</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As part of the ongoing aesthetic interest I have, I discovered a link to this blog post that discusses the basic properties of type (and fonts). As I was reviewing it, I realized that a lot of textbooks are set in serif fonts (such as Times New Roman) and wondered if that had some psychological [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPhone Development</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I've been doing a fair bit of reading before I begin developing an iPhone app - but it's been good to read and think in Object Oriented programming languages again. Hopefully this will be a fairly simple process, and I'll maybe split off a page to document the development. Needless to say, I don't want [...]]]></description>

		<title>What If&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the spirit of the old Marvel comics, What If... series, I bring you:
What if Bloom's Taxonomy is right?
Well, first a brief primer in Bloom's. Bloom's Taxonomy is a tiered structure, like a staircase, that illustrates increasingly complex or difficult cognitive tasks, particularly in an educational setting. At the bottom is Knowledge (knowing the facts) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Curation As A Method of Digital Teaching</title>
		<description><![CDATA[George Siemens, Connectivism ruminator, has explored the idea of teacher as a curator previously, and it has come up again today courtesy of a tweet from @hjarche. Even though I was a participant in CCK08, and marginally involved in CCK09, I didn't recall these ideas of what the teacher would become, although I do recall [...]]]></description>

		<title>What I Learned This Week (Part 8)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cheap microphones on ebay aren't always real... well I knew that already, but the interesting thing is the comparison process and how good the knock offs were at reproducing the look of the microphone, but not the audio. The side-by-side comparison is especially useful.
It funny, and seems obvious, but colleges don't like cuts to adult [...]]]></description>

		<title>Complexity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It's interesting to see the theme of complexity pop up in unexpected places. A couple nights ago on the Daily Show with Atul Gawande. He was talking about how complexity is a problem for many experts, and how a simple checklist can save lives, but many experts felt that a checklist was too much of [...]]]></description>
