This week we start off with Bryan Alexander’s delightfully witty “Devil’s Dictionary” of ed tech (he just published a part 2 here [3]), “Open for the Win” … examining benefits of OER beyond just being free, a piece that posits a dearth of physical schools in the future (with which I vehemently disagree!), a look at how Blockchain technology can alter the nature of the transcript, exploring the fundamentals of screencasting, and yes, more, more, more to read and explore. Enjoy!
This is fun! A Devil’s Dictionary of Educational Technology (thx @BryanAlexander):
