Hello my wonderful readers–

This is just a quick note to apologize for my absence. To make a long story short, I’ve had a horrible week technologically speaking. First, I was hit with a malware/virus that slipped by my anti-virus protection, and then I was duped by a phone scammer to whom I allowed them access to my computer. I believe they wiped out part of my personal files, and added more malware to my system. My husband (we’ll call him LMSGeekDad, an e-learning developer) and I have been frantically trying to fight this viral beast and figure out how to recover my files. We’ve been at it for a day and a half, and have still not gotten my laptop back to normal. I’m actually writing this whole post on my iPhone.

So, as you can guess, I’m rather distracted from the joys of tech comm and e-learning at the moment, just trying to revive my laptop as best as we can. That’s why there’s no postings from me right now (until now), and probably won’t be until this is fixed. My laptop has my life on it; I thought I had lost a decade’s worth of family photos until I was able to find my backup on an external drive, but other important files have been affected too.

I hope to be back in the swing of things soon. Please send good karma/ thoughts/prayers this way that I can get this fixed soon, and fixed properly.

Thanks for your continued support!

An iPad app is revolutionizing the way that children with Autism are able to rehab.

Any regular reader of my blog knows that one of the driving motivators for me with my interest in educational technology is helping differently-abled kids find ways to enable them to learn more successfully.  I’m sure this would have been really helpful when my son was little and supplement the early intervention therapy he had. Every little bit helps!

I´d like to share with you a sample course I developed with Storyline as part of my thesis to get an M.A. in Applied Linguistics.

@mayraaixavillar is a rising star in the e-learning and m-learning world, working with @rjacquez on podcasts and email newsletters about the subject. She’s very smart, and worth following! This is her thesis for her Master’s degree…I think she’s off to a great start!

As tablets enter the educational mainstream, universities move to evaluate their impact on teaching and learning.

This is an interesting study…

The technologies that can have the best impact on education are evolving quickly from year to year, and the pace seems to be quickening.

From everything that I’ve been learning or teaching myself about the m-learning and e-learning fields, this article is pretty spot-on. These are the trends, and we need to stay on top of them to get maximum benefit!
