There is lots of talk these days about inclusivity and DH. Some of this talk extends to disciplinary inclusivity. In light of my own disciplinary background (“I’m not a humanist, but I hang around in the […]

I’ve got Munchkin (the original set + one of the original expansions) packed. Couldn’t fit much more into my bag.

In typical fashion, I can’t contain myself to one topic. So, here are a couple of ideas. Also, be sure to check out the Just Playing Around session that Brian Croxall and I co-proposed

I proposed this first […]

In typical fashion, I can’t contain myself to one idea. So, here (very briefly, because this is sooper dooper late), are some things that I’d love to talk with people about.

Brian – a good example of a more literary inspired game, I would suggest looking at Arden (http://mypage.iu.edu/~castro/arden.html)

standards are good (and important). However, at the end of the day, you do need a piece of software, or a platform, or a family of tools…whatever…to implement those standards.

I love the idea of “a domain of one’s own.” However, that approach has implications for open courseware (which is incredibly important to me). If the materials are distributed, its much more challenging to […]

ok…how about this (and this is something Stephan and I talked about at Great Lakes THATCamp). What can the ACH (which looks from the outside as an organization geared almost exclusively to cater to the […]

there is a desire to have a LMS/CMS all bundled up into one happy platform. Why? Why can’t we pick and choose open source/forward facing tools that meet our various needs. Twitter for micro communication, media […]

I’m in (of course). I’m a very dedicated WP/WPMU user – for all of my classes (and have been so for years). All of my classes exist out of MSU’s CMS ecosystem (except for the gradebook – and I’m hoping to change […]

I am, of course, down with this. I would kick in my vote for #2. I too very much like Rob’s idea of Playful Historical Thinking (and am striving to apply the same model to archeology – playful archaeological […]
