The Return of NoBoJo

Posted on March 20, 2007 By Tom 3 Comments on The Return of NoBoJo
Entertainment, Internet, Religion

It’s back! The websites formerly known as "Bob Jones a Go-Go" has returned. The URL is now www.nobojo.org, but the content is the same. The tagline is "A Look Inside the Wacky World of Bob Jones University," and that should give you a pretty good idea of the site’s flavor. Written by a former BJU … Read More “The Return of NoBoJo” »

What Flavor of Google Earth?

Posted on March 16, 2007 By Tom No Comments on What Flavor of Google Earth?
Geocaching and Maps, Internet

During one of my SCETV sessions this week the question came up about the various flavors of Google Earth, and which might be most appropriate.  For classrooms and general use, go with the free version.  Period.  I can’t see why anyone who doesn’t work with GIS professionally would need anything else. Google has provided a … Read More “What Flavor of Google Earth?” »

Recent Google Earth Discoveries

If you can bear with me until I get through next week’s workshops I’m going for SCETV, I’ll get off of this Google Earth/geotagging kick. I promise. Until then, here are a couple more Google Earth resources I stumbled upon while preparing my materials for these workshops. First, when one thinks of geotagging, it’s usually … Read More “Recent Google Earth Discoveries” »

From Earth to Maps – Tracking Your Travels

Posted on March 2, 2007 By Tom No Comments on From Earth to Maps – Tracking Your Travels
Geocaching and Maps, Internet

I like the little "It happened here" maps that I can create at the bottom of these posts. However, they only allow the tagging of one location. This is OK if that post is about only one place, such as a restaurant, but it causes problems when I want to mark multiple locations. I’ve been … Read More “From Earth to Maps – Tracking Your Travels” »

Geotagging Made Simple

Posted on February 27, 2007 By Tom 2 Comments on Geotagging Made Simple
Geocaching and Maps, Internet, Photography, Travel

Anyone who has been following this blog knows that one of my favorite past times is to head out into the country with my camera and just explore. I enjoy not just the exploration, but the documentation of exploration, either by writing about it here, keeping a GPS track, or by geotagging the photos I … Read More “Geotagging Made Simple” »

The Perils of Web 2.0

Posted on February 21, 2007 By Tom 4 Comments on The Perils of Web 2.0
EdTech, Geocaching and Maps, Internet, Rants

One of my tech folks called this morning with a concern about Google Earth. It seems there was a placemark entitled "Can’t fucking get there from here." The tech wanted to know if a student at the school might have been able to create that placemark for the entire school, since it seemed to be … Read More “The Perils of Web 2.0” »

Popping the Question 21st Century Style

Posted on February 14, 2007 By Tom No Comments on Popping the Question 21st Century Style
Internet

Laura sent me a very nice e-card from Hallmark.  While she was searching for the card I got, she came across something rather…disturbing.  Apparently there are e-cards for proposing.  I guess if you can’t work up the nerve to ask, this would be one way to do it.  

Censorship

Posted on January 26, 2007 By Tom 1 Comment on Censorship
EdTech, Internet

The fact is that censorship always defeats its own purpose, for it creates, in the end, the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion. ~Henry Steele Commager I am a government censor. I am responsible for blocking certain images and ideas that might be deemed harmful to our students. I do this … Read More “Censorship” »
