Thinking out loud about the ideas of creating and maintain portfolios on the open web
The working title for this post has been “What Might Be Working when It Looks Like Nothing is Working.” I plan to throw out some numbers that are insignificant not by their values, but because they really do not tell […]
I had thought of this (and then forgot) the last time I taught DS106. It seemed like a good idea to ask students as they worked through the process to keep on their site a running collection of the tools […]
Coming into my last week here at TRU I am hoping to get my portfolio site into shape to represent the four months here of my fellowship. I am very pleased with the capabilities of this Moesia Lite theme (a […]
Most of the time it’s intentional, but I do not always plan to use a dog metaphor. It just happens. In setting up the trubox multisite as a place for You Show participants to start their blogs, I came up […]

What is the framework for the portfolio site I hope to build here? That is one of the prompts we have (actually I wrote) for the activities in Unit 1. I always ue images in my posts, so my thinking […]
In lieu of an elevator pitch, and upcoming You Show Daily challenge is to generate a description of your portfolio or communication site in the number of characters you can fit into a tweet. That is 140 characters (or less […]
