Individualized feeds for tags
Dan asks for help: I want to split my RSS feeds by tags. One feed for posts tagged with “lesson,” another for the rest. A commenter explains how to do this with WordPress. It sounds really simple, and gives me an idea: I could create separate feeds for different classes, yet still post everything onto [...]
Informal learning and PKM
Aaron Campbell blogged about From Courses to Learning Streams. The idea sounds ripe, allowing students the freedom to assemble the pieces of their (own) course but I feel there are more issues involved. One is the problem of information overload.

The politics of education, and the importance of being a foreigner
Class are over, and although grades still remain to be done, blogging and reading are still much more fun distractions. I’m now reading Between Borders : pedagogy and the politics of cultural studies, edited by Henry Giroux and Peter McLaren. I find Giroux rather heavy going, and the cost vs value index is rather high [...]
