February 2008 Archives

For the past two years, we've had stickers at the Symposium.  In 2006, they were the "Blog This...Symposium" stickers.  Last year, we had moo card stickers and Twitter stickers (with a write-on wipe-off coating).  This year, we're going to encourage People Tagging.  Essentially, people can tag themselves with one or more of the 14-different stickers that we have that relate to some of the major topics of this year's Symposium.  We're getting these stickers from moo.com and they should be about 1-inch square.  You can see them below, but the actual images are 240x240 resolution, so these are scaled-down copies.

This idea is a mashup of Adobe icons and an activity that I saw at NMC last year.  Audrey did the designs, based on pallets from the web site colourlovers.com.  I love how they came out.  [Edit: Audrey and Dave worked together to create these pallets on their own.  I'm leaving in the colourlovers site though since it's a pretty interesting community.]

I started off with three blogs at Penn State.  One for my professional portfolio, one for Symposium thoughts, and one for my thoughts about educational technologies.  Now I've combined all of those into one place since they all relate to me and my work.  I'll probably add some thoughts from my courses as well, so if you start seeing posts about adult education and research methods, that's why.  I have to say, it's a relief to have everything in the same place!
