Questions

Are you now an Uber expert?

No. I would hardly say so. Our poor friend, Will, had to take many texts during my visit to Miami to coach me through things.

I already learned something. Gliser is cool!

So glad to hear that. I have really been enjoying the service these past few months. I was curious why more people at FIU Online did not tweet out more of the slides, but maybe just not as many people are on Twitter as at some of my other events.

Is this thing on

Yes. It was. I was not able to switch over to questions during the presentation, though. Usually I have my computer up on stage with me, so I am able to do that. I figured with the trouble they were having with some of the sound issues, I was not about to complicate matters. I also knew I could answer everyone's questions here, online.

Canvas is the best!

I am a huge fan. If you are interested in seeing the bookmarks I have saved about Canvas, check out this link.

You've got a podcast editor? Where can I hire one?

His name is Andrew. And he is amazing. Here's his website and contact info: Podcast Habit.

What's the name of the pencast app?

Doceri. I have a bunch of other resources on pencasting on the Teaching in Higher Ed site, if you want to learn more.

Hello?

Hi. 🙂

When is winter coming?

For us Californians, pretty much never. That is probably the case for Miami, as well…
