Micro-Learning and the Future of Education
Since the advent of formalized education, there have been those suggesting it is outdated and about to radically change. While changes do occur, can occur, and should occur – it’s also a bit reactionary to jump at each new trend and suggest it will replace all that has gone before. Radio in Education, Cable TV…

Using your Raspberry Pi with your iPad – PiPad
Recently, a few changes to the iPad Operating System and the addition of a new software tool have made it possible to do something we haven’t been able to do in the past – bring HDMI INPUT into the iPad. This is a big deal. With an inexpensive HDMI to USB-C Capture Adapter, we can…

Productivity SYSTEMS
When thinking about productivity, the “computer geek” in me wants to immediately ask “is there an App for that?” (which speaks to my love of tech toys and the power of Apple’s marketing). I often think that to get organized, create flow, and be more productive – I need a tool of some sort. This…

Taking Notes – how do we make them useful?
Note-taking for learning, research, and to try to stay organized and capture experiences is something I think almost everyone does. It’s certainly a popular topic in the “Productivity” space on Social Media.
