I’ve just linked a recent “public outreach” article on Academia.edu containing an “expert interview” with me on the topic of applying learning sciences to everyday school-oriented learning practices. http://bit.ly/1rs0FZU Feel free to comment it, if you can read German and feel like you’ve got something valuable to say about this…

My motivations to take the “Designing a New Learning Environment” course
As a researcher in Educational Technology, I’m interested in the strategic use (or lack of use) of ICT tools in educational settings, the factors that influence (positively or negatively) their strategic use by teachers (of all levels in educational systems) and in the (transformative) effects (or not) that their use…
Going to class – again! second attempt
I’m currently subscribed to take an online distance course on “Designing a New Learning Environment“, given by Professor Paul Kim from Stanford University. I’m very (!) excited about all the things that I will be able to learn from this unique experience. I’ll be blogging about it here. So stay tuned!

Little things can make me happy…
I’m happy 🙂 I got a weekly-update newsletter email from the Peer Instruction Network, that I recently joined and they quoted a (“fantastic”, sic!) question I’ve asked when joining the network… so that other members can give me their answers, via a special POLL… how cool’s that!!!

Anonymity is not Privacy nor vice-versa
I’ve just read an online article about what Google CEO Schmidt thinks about the future of the Internet, especially that he thinks that anonymity on the web will and should be something of the past… I thought that some people would fall into the trap of confusing anonymity and privacy,…
Reviewing the “Wort for iPad” App
I’ve just written my first App Review on the iTunes Store Luxembourg. —– “innovative Fingernavigation” sieht anders aus… Es war zu erwarten, dass die “grösste” Luxemburger Tageszeitung “mit der Zeit gehen” würde und als App für das iPad kommen musste! Das Resultat ist aber mehr als enttäuschend! Von innovativer Fingernavigation,…

I just have to quote this passage below, because I’ve been trying so many times to refer to it, when discussing socio-constructivism vs. neo-positivism, but had been unable to find it… So, this time, I will know where to find it… on my blog 🙂 Social-constructionist ‘intellectuals,’ and perhaps even…
