My world on the web
john (johnjohnston.info)Read Write Collect is my main education hosepipe filter. Aaron reads and comments on a huge range of educational and web tech blogs wrapped in a tasty IndieWeb coating.

john (johnjohnston.info)Podcatcher Idea, I listen in the car. I often want to make a note or respond. I’d like a voice controlled function: I’d say make a note, the app would record a short audio note stamped with the current episode and time. Later I’d review and perhaps make a reply post.
john (johnjohnston.info)I wonder if we should spend some time explaining to pupils why we choose the tools we use, the affordances of said tools and the drawbacks. In the case of “free” tools why companies give them away. I don’t believe we think about these reasons in enough depth.
john (johnjohnston.info)@inoreader’s new plan will leave 90% of users unaffected. I am in the other 10% not sure I should to upgrade, it is quite a jump from current $14.99 to $49.99; slash my feeds, & lose RSS feeds; or take opportunity explore other RSS services.
Chris Aldrich (boffosocko.com)This seems like a cool potential way of doing all sorts of things in the IndieWeb space for WordPress. I’m curious what it looks like from other perspectives. I’ll have to think this through a bit…
In the end though, it still feels too much like individuals trying to solve problems that should be better handled by feed readers and the platforms.

Hello Thought Shrapnel readers! Some of you have asked over the last few months why the ability to comment on posts is switched off here. Well, that’s mainly because I noticed a general downw…
john (John's World Wide Wall Display)As part of my summer holiday fun with WordPress I though I might create a ‘proper’ RSS feed for my microcast.
There are quite a few podcast plugins that would do the job but I though it might be interesting to try a bit of DIY.
Back when I started a class podcast at Radio Sandaig I used to creat…
john (John’s World Wide Wall Display)Eek! Less than two weeks till back to school. Some prep arrived in post this morning.
john (John's World Wide Wall Display) john (John's World Wide Wall Display)We have started refreshing the EDUtalk Site. Updating the theme and how the live audio plays. We have started updating the information pages too over the break. If you be interested in appearing on a show next session please get in touch. Also on: Like this:Like Loading…
john (John’s World Wide Wall Display)Recently I’ve been thinking that grasshoppers are a lot less common than they were in my youth.
john (John's World Wide Wall Display)The great thing about a syndication is that the content doesn’t go away if the syndication does. Any discussion can take place on the participating sites. All the hub does is make it easy to read and make connections. Micro.blog reminds me of this in many ways, although the participants are not grouped round a class or topic.
john (John's World Wide Wall Display)Some rather belated thoughts on returning to classroom teaching.
john (John’s World Wide Wall Display)This is a summary of my presentation for PressED – A WordPress and Education, Pedagogy and Research Conference on Twitter.
John Johnston (John’s World Wide Wall Display)I find my self on Aaron Davis’ blog a lot these days. He is doing what I’d like to do if I could squeeze a few more hours into a day exploring the IndieWeb. Great to see an edublogger diving deep into this stuff.
This episode explores a favourite topic for both John and Mariana – blogging. It explores the current state of things.
Thank you John for the mention. The blogger who I think you were trying to remember is Bill Ferriter. He wrote an interesting post reflecting on the myth of audience.
I sometimes wonder if people like Dave Winer and Alan Levine are the real ‘Big B Bloggers’. This is not because they curate a platform for financial purposes, which they don’t, but because they each in their own ways take blogging to the extremes of what is possible. I consider their pursuit as both cognitive and technical. I think that Micro.blog and #IndieWeb communities capture this too. This is the Big B blogging that I am interested in.
Marianna & John discussing the use of online generators. Easy to use software.
