Community College Sitcom
7 May 2009NBC is coming out with a sitcom set in a community college. It will star Chevy Chase and a bunch of other people I’ve never heard of. I’m sort of disgusted by the description of the show from NBC and would have much preferred a dramatic show over this has-been ridiculousness. I’m sure [...]
Another CC’er in Washington!
8 Apr 2009Oh, yes indeed! Glenn Cummings from S. Maine CC has been appointed Asst. Secr. of Education for vocational and adult education. Yes we can!
Next we rule the world!
7 Apr 2009The Chancellor of Foothill-DeAnza CC district has been appointed the Under Secretary of Education. Martha Kanter, you are my girl! I’m sure Foothill is crying at the loss though. Good leaders are tough to find and hold on to. This is great for CC’s. I know she won’t let us down so here [...]
Community College All-Stars
6 Apr 2009Awesome article in USA Today about the “magical” community college. Try not to get all weepy when you read it: USA Today
Change Redux
4 Apr 2009Ok, I had to bring this topic back because I have found that I cannot, or should not, change the name of my blog to be less representative of my work as a librarian. I like being a librarian. I worked really hard to become a librarian. Like many people who are entering the [...]
Second Life for Workplace Learning
30 Mar 2009Tom Werner is the god of workplace/virtual world info. He did a free webinar on the topic just recently which I kick myself hard for missing. The phrase “3-D:In it, not looking at it” has to be at the top of my list for believing so strongly in virtual worlds in community college education. [...]
VWBPE Panel
29 Mar 2009I sat on a panel discussion today about groups that support teaching and learning in SL. I was on the panel with so many incredible people. 140 avatars showed up for the discussion and it was, to put it mildly, a zoo! It was really fun. I had some issues with my chat [...]

ISTE Presentation…done!
11 Jun 2008I’ve never presented to such a large group in SL (35!) and am still clueless as to why so many would want to hear about my work. I am heartened that there is so much interest in the work of the community college in virtual worlds. I am totally motivated to write that next [...]
