Right Command Key is My New Spacebar
In the ongoing commitment to keep use of my trusty old 2012 Macbook Pro, after a battery replacement last May, the latest challenge was the loss of my spacebar.

Not Later, Now. H5P Branching Tour @ University of Regina
I'm sending a big thanks to Alec Couros for inviting me to present a one hour introduction to H5P, zooming in, to the University of Regina Centre for Teaching and Learning.

As promised in my intro, #IDontDoSlides, so they got my Branching Scenario style show, talking about H5P by using H5P. Everything is there for anyone else to branch into (or out of).

Here's an image sans alt text. Do not do this!

Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Go Back into the Google Image CC Search Waters Again…
Cue the music. Baddddum. Baddddum... Pinging Martin Welller...

It's been a while (maybe 6 weeks but that's like 2 eons in blog years) since I last blabbed about the bad smell or worse or just missing items in Google Image's Creative Commons License search. Danny Sullivan, who I believe works for Google as a "searc
