Set of web pages with links for my presentation at WEM yesterday... CRLFgiven my health (or lack of same) it wasn't the best presentation I've CRLFever done... after 16 hours sleep (beginning yesterday afternoon) I CRLFfeel a bit better but I'm still CRLFstruggling with less than perfect health, computer problems and a CRLFgeneral malaise, the sort of ill-will you feel toward the world when CRLFyour mouse dies and everything takes longer than it should and the CRLFsites won't connect and your email program won't delete the CRLFmountain of spam that is clogging your inbox... today I worked the CRLFtrade show floor (there was one presentation I wanted to see, but I CRLFcouldn't find it - it has been that sort of conference...) - I discovered CRLFthat the Blackboard people get snippy when you talk to them about CRLFthe hack and the gag order... that the main selling point for LMSs at CRLFthese shows are their exclusive content libraries... whiteboards are CRLFeverywhere... but this whole show could have been staged last year, CRLFor two years ago, and nobody would have raised an eyebrow... it's CRLFlike the innovation has come to a complete and utter halt... is what CRLFthe commercialization of e-learning means? No, it's probably just CRLFme.
