Ed Tech Hacks Goes Mobile!

Ed Tech Hacks Goes Mobile!

I have to admit, after getting my Palm Centro, I’ve been becoming increasingly annoyed by sites without a mobile version. Pages take too long to load, break formatting, or are too data-heavy to load at all. As I rely more and more on mobile information, I’m seeing the value and importance of mobile websites.

So, without further ado, here’s the mobile version of Ed Tech Hacks!

I’m back!

I’m back!

I’m back!

For those who missed the announcement about my move - I got a new job (woo hoo!), and took a break from blogging to move out of state.

I’m now all finished moving, (almost) done unpacking, and am now settling in at my new job as an instructional designer. (Standard disclaimer always applies - the stuff in this blog is mine, and not reflective of my employer, etc. etc. etc.)

I’ll be picking up the pace on the blog again with some link posts soon, and working in the near future on a few series posts I have in mind - such as finding a job in Ed Tech, instructional design (ID/ISD) basics, and a few other goodies. If you have anything else you’d like to see me cover - drop me a line in the comments!

Thanks for your patience, all!

Awesome News! (And, a Break From Blogging)

Awesome News! (And, a Break From Blogging)

In what’s been a whirlwind of a couple weeks, I interviewed and was offered (and am accepting!) a job in another state.

As we (my family and I) pack and move, I don’t envision myself having a ton of time for blogging.

I’ll try to keep going with the occasional del.icio.us link post, and get back to regular posting in about a month or so. (And, I’ll have some new insights for my series on finding an Ed Tech job!)

Thanks for your patience!

Sorry about the past few days…

Sorry about the past few days…

… as you’ve probably noticed, posts were kind of sparse. I’ve been sick in bed with the flu.

Back to regularly scheduled posting soon!

Link Posting: More Commentary

Link Posting: More Commentary

If you haven’t noticed already, I’ve been adding some comments/descriptions/notes on my links for my daily link post. I hope this makes the lists a little easier to see what’s relevant to your interests, or just know a little more about the link before you go and visit.

Any thoughts? Do you like the new format, or is it too much noise/clutter on the page? Let me know!

Big Link Post Coming Up…

Big Link Post Coming Up…

I screwed up something in the formatting on yesterday’s link post, so today’s will be larger to get the ones from yesterday back in. Sorry! (Still new at this blogging thing!)

Welcome to Ed Tech Hacks!

Welcome to Ed Tech Hacks!

Today marks my “official” launch for this blog, but as I’ve quickly learned, as soon as something is available on the internet, people will find it.

I already have links from people on del.icio.us and StumbleUpon, readers from MyBlogLog, followers on Twitter, and RSS subscribers. I’m glad you all have found me, and I hope you stick around, because there’s much more to come.

While you’re here, why not find out some more about me, get in touch with me, or browse the posts I’ve created already.

Update:
This is why I need to keep up a little better on my podcasts… it turns out, my blog was mentioned on the Ed Tech Talk radio show back on December 16th. Thanks guys!

Back in the blog’s early test posts, when it was picked up on the Ed Tech Talk radar, it was mostly link roundups and blog reviews (and trust me, those goodies will still continue!), but I’m planning some great feature-length posts tackling some topics in the field of Ed Tech. So stay tuned!
