@bella_b Tentative title is Using the Web to Affect Social Change, w/1st part survey of best practices, 2nd action learning, 3rd iteration
@bella_b I'm still getting specifics on exactly how much class and coursework time is in a 3 hour Dal LaMagna elective class.
@jrhoads Yes, I suppose I'm selected for the BGI drum circle elective as well ;-) I'll hope to also bring up my hang drum.
@bella_b The class will be part of the Dal LaMagna elective series, probably limited to about 25 students. #bgiedu
@technoshaman yes, everything will be open courseware, and the final student projects will be to create new open courseware. Iteration!
Looks like I will be a professor in the fall. I will be teaching an elective social web course at Bainbridge Graduate Institute. bgiedu.org
Connectivity to BGI faculty retreat was spotty, but here is one highlight -- students giving feedback: http://twitpic.com/8zz1d

@withinsight_LLC No, I'm not technically a member of BGI faculty, but I'm a faculty advisor and maybe executive in residence next year. TBD.

Unit Structures – Twitter as Courseware - http://fstutzman.com/2009...
"This is instructive for designers of educational technology. The “traditional” trajectory of educational technology is specialization and feature-creep. For example, a class must have an email list, a forum, website/CMS, each with its own space and identity. When I log into BlackBoard, I see about 30 different things I can do, and for each I have to click a link and go to a page to do the action. Twitter strips away the features, instead using an inherently flexible textual space to facilitate communication, accomplishing the same goal of other feature-ridden “course technology.” - Christopher Allen

"Dr. Rankin, professor of History at UT Dallas, wanted to know how to reach more students and involve more people in class discussions both in and out of the classroom. She had heard of Twitter... She collaborated with the UT Dallas, Arts and Technology - Emerging Media and Communications (EMAC) http://www.emac.utdallas.edu faculty and as a Graduate student in EMAC I assisted her in her experiment. I documented the experiment for a digital video class with Professor Dean Terry, @therefore, and assisted Dr. Rankin in the experiment as a part of my collaboration and content creation course with Dan Langendor, @dlangendorf. It was a real pleasure to work with Dr. Rankin - a forward-thinking professor open to the intelligent use of new media. - Christopher Allen

Serious data loss bug in iPhone with iPhoto. If you upload to Youtube, and it fails to upload, and you sync to iPhoto, poof! Lose both.

Now that I've restored both iPhone 3GS (Yeah! It worked!), I'm doing secure erase of both M's and my old iPhones. Takes about an hour each!
In the end got the discounted price on iPhone 3GS due to last minutes changes in AT&T policy. No line at AT&T store, activation was fast.
