A shift is underway in the #Walkmyworld Project towards using our documentation of our world as the kernal of digital poetry. I took a shot of footprints from our back yard and wrote a poem, and then decided to try my hand at kinetic poetry (where the words/type can move). These two screenshots show the […]

Looking at the Data of their Digital Lives
Each year, I present my sixth grade students with what we call the State of Technology and Digital Media Survey. The idea is to get a snapshop of their impressions and to get a glimpse of their use of technology, particularly outside of school. This year, for Digital Learning Day, I put the results into […]
Social Media: A Note Home About Digital Lives
As part of Digital Learning Day (tomorrow), we have moved into our unit with sixth graders around Digital Lives. One thing we do is put together a letter/email for parents about Facebook and other social media sites, so that the conversations that start in school about privacy, identity and more can continue at home.

Slice of Life: Musical Notes
(This is for Slice of Life with Two Writing Teachers) There’s a been a lot of music happening in the past week, so here are three musical slices from my end of the world. First, I recently dug up an old son that I had written back when my oldest sons were little, capturing that […]
A Stolen Poem Finds Its Way Home
As part of the Rhizomatic P2PU course‘s theme around “cheating as learning” with Dave Cormier, I offered up a poem for others to steal and remix. It was a sort of call to arms, partly as poetry about the remix culture and partly to see if what I view as a rhizomatic concept (that of […]
#Rhizo14: Steal This Poem
As I work my way into the first week of a P2PU course around open learning and Rhizomatic Learning, I’ve been thinking again about who owns what in the digital landscape. This connects to the theme of “cheating as learning” in the first week and about the ways in which Terry Elliott and I have […]
Enter the Rhizome: Roots Take Hold
I’m checking out a new P2PU offering by Dave Cormier (whose work around open learning has inspired many) around Rhizomatic Learning. It’s a term I heard folks using during our Making Learning Connected MOOC but I have not yet come to fully understand it. I had the sense that it means a circular learning pattern […]
Combined Voices: Ice&fire&memory&music&songs&dreams
My good friend, Terry, released a poem into the wild yesterday, and he asked that we remix it. I am not one to pass up a remix invite, and so I requested that he podcast his poem and share the file with me. What he didn’t know was that I was recrafting his words as […]
So You Want To Bring Game Design to Your Classroom?
If this helps anyone think more clearly about how to integrate video game design into the classroom (with a science angle), then feel free to borrow, adapt, hack and remix as needed. This is the basics of my sixth grade video game design unit. Geological Game Design Project by KevinHodgson There’s a lot more information […]
The Collaborative Song: Tweeting ’bout a #Nerdlution
The other day, I created a collaborative document on TitanPad (open source/free writing platform) and asked folks to contribute lyrics to a remix of Tracy Chapman’s Talking ’bout a Revolution by making it into Tweeting ’bout a Nerdlution. Over a few days, a few folks joined me and added lyrics and ideas, and then I […]
