Jul 12, 1:00AM

Jul 11, 5:12PM
I have been on a bit of an EdTech binge writing spree the past few weeks. Part of the reason is that I feel the vast majority of educators and entrepreneurs are finally realizing that Silicon Valley didn’t get it right the first time with our approach to technology and the classroom. Certainly, some content is more freely available than before, an absolutely wonderful improvement for… Read MoreGillmor Gang: WonderLust
Jul 11, 5:00PM
The Gillmor Gang — John Borthwick, Robert Scoble, Dan Farber, Keith Teare, Kevin Marks, and Steve Gillmor. Recorded live Friday, July 10, 2015.

Once upon a time, long ago, there were computers, and they were very large. Warehouse large. Multi-story large. Tractor-trailer large.

Earlier today, a manager that works with big social media… Read MoreDigital Government Is The New Social Network
