Importing from posterous.com to wordpress

Does anybody have an idea (or two) on how I could import all my posterous posts into my newly installed wordpress cms? I really like to have thinks in one place, even though they come from different tools… like automatically linking in my twitter.com tweets or embedding my delicious.com bookmarks. Posterous is a cool service […]

Welcome to my all new webpage. I’m starting to use a wordpress blog system as a hub for all my digital thoughts, impressions, writtings, bookmarks, bookreviews, paper recommendations and so on. 0

Yes, I know that my blog looks like facebook... that's because I like the simplicity and the being-used-to-it feeling...

Book Review: “Everything Bad is Good For You” by Steven Johnson

I’ve started to read “Everything Bad is Good For You” by Steven Johnson over a “Pizza chèvre”. Johnson wants to argue, a bit in line with Wim Veen’s ideas on digital natives’ use of media, that popular culture does not make us dumber (as is re-iterated by so many scholars, cf. Manfred Spitzer) but that […]

Book Review: “Lernen: Ein pädagogischer Grundbegriff” by Michael Göhlich & Jörg Zirfas

I’ve started to read “Lernen: Ein pädagogischer Grundbegriff” by Michael Göhlich & Jörg Zirfas a week ago. It has been recommanded to me by Pierre Fixmer (lecturer @ uni.lu) and will be one of the books we’ll use for our seminar in the Bachelor in Educational Sciences programme “Exploring Perspectives on Learning” next semester. So […]

Book Review: “Basiswissen Multimedia – Band 2: Lernen” by Andreas Holzinger

I’ve just received and started to read A. Holzinger’s Book on Learning with Multimedia… and I’m really happy that I’ve bought this book… It’s simply exactly the book-of-reference we should have had right from the start for our “Learning with Media” seminar in the BScE. It covers every aspect of our seminars, from the way […]

Book Review: “The Good Teacher: Dominant discourses in teaching and teacher education” by Alex Moore

I’ve just received this book on the “good teacher question” from Amazon. I’m trying to deepen my knowledge about this strain of research, because I want to provide my tutees (students of the bachelor in educational sciences) with better guidance on their own way to “becoming a teacher”. I particularly like, in this book, the […]

Book Review: “Handbook of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK) for Educators” by AACTE

I’ve recently “discovered” the TPCK model, by browsing the iTunesU catalogue and falling over Dr. Ruben Puentedura’s video podcast called “As We May Teach” (see: http://www.hippasus.com/). I was totally unaware of the theoretical and empirical work done in the field of TPCK, so far and so I was very happy to see that there are […]
