Moving Media Around the House

January 23, 2010 By jbb 1 Comment

By definition, this is a “first world” problem. In the news gap between CES and the Apple event next week, I’ve been thinking a lot about how I might manage my media collections between all of my computers. The buzz around the Boxee box and anticipating the need to have most of my working data [...]

TWiT Reflection into the New Decade

January 19, 2010 By jbb 2 Comments

I’ve been watching Leo since the early ZD-TV days. It feels like it was early Internet, but it really wasn’t. Here was a guy and a show that was part of this tech world that I was a part of, that no one else understood. So for their last podcast for 2009, TWiT 228, they [...]

Moodle is NOT a Verb, or is it?

December 18, 2009 By jbb Leave a Comment

This was my last week teaching Full Sail/emdtms’ LMO (Learning Management Systems) course and I couldn’t end our time together without a little conversation about Moodle. Enjoy. Moodle is not a verb, or is it? I’ve been hearing about Moodle at ed/tech conferences for longer than I can remember. In the early years it seemed [...]

Digication Revisited

December 9, 2009 By jbb 2 Comments

As I continued to explore online teaching/learning platforms for my LMS course (Learning Management Systems), I revisited Digication, a platform that I used my last year teaching middle school technology and media classes. The following are my notes that I passed along to my students to study before our weekly online session. The last portion [...]

October 14, 2009 By jbb Leave a Comment

Jenkin’s “Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide” is part of my course reading and students are always finding great videos of Jenkins on the Interwebs. Here’s a great one that sums it his take on the evolution of media and what it means for the culture and the media industry. Thanks Seann G.

The Creative Commons Solution

July 26, 2009 By jbb Leave a Comment

Part three of my three part media merry-go-round: Creative Commons (Part 1: Copyright; Part 2: Fair-Use; Part 3: Creative Commons). After I’ve scared them to death with the all powerful Copyright, and confused them with the slippery Fair-Use, it’s time calm the nerves with a little common sense Creative Commons. I wish it was really [...]

Why Should We Let You Into Our Doctorate Club?

July 24, 2009 By jbb 4 Comments

Last time I talked to Dr. Sparks (“Sparky”) we were enjoying a late night dinner at the Old Ebbitt Grill following a week roaming the streets of DC and the halls of power with my Pepperdine cadremates. He wasn’t completely satisfied with my consultancy project and charged me with the assignment to get a better [...]

So What the Heck is Fair Use & How’s It Suppose to Protect My Butt

July 20, 2009 By jbb 1 Comment

So now I’m working on step two of my three part media merry-go-round: Fair-Use (Part 1: Copyright; Part 2: Fair-Use; Part 3: Creative Commons). It’s hard to talk about one without talking about the others. We talked about Copyright last week, but whenever the conversation shifted to usage than Fair-Use and Creative Commons were ready [...]

Let’s Be Friends… For Now

July 11, 2009 By jbb 1 Comment

I visited my e-Harmony profile today. It’s been awhile. With Pepperdine fading into a confusing memory and things beginning to settle down on the house-front, I feel okay about re-investing some time on the social side of things. Today I also took a survey on my satisfaction with the e-Harmony service. I’ve been on the [...]
