]]> Comment on Top Five M-Learning Best Practices for SoftChalk Mobile Users by Susan J. Clark, PhD http://softchalk.com/2011/08/top-5-m-learning-best-practices-for-softchalk-mobile-users#comment-6149 Susan J. Clark, PhD Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:38:22 +0000 http://softchalk.com/?p=3118#comment-6149 I've found one type of flash-based activity that DOES work on an iPod touch,etc. and can be integrated into a Softchalk lesson beautifully. (Drum roll please...) It's a Pencast. I'm very excited about the possibilities after this discovery. Is anyone at Softchalk looking into this? It's use may turn out to be a best practice in the near future. Please email me if you'd like an example or demonstration.

LOU THARP Thu, 12 Jan 2012 16:02:06 +0000 http://softchalk.com/?p=3657#comment-5084 I think we have very similar interests and worldviews. I was a scholarship student at Yale - but I have retained my childhood identity as a kid from a poor family. I absolutely believe in making education available to ALL people - as inexpensively as possible. I earned a Ph.D. in California and taught for 33 years at Long Beach City College. I designed a course myself - called Issues in Philosophy, Psychology, and Religion - that became the most popular course on campus. When I retired, I joined an Internet startup and went to Malaysia for 2 years to create a complete online education system for their education department. I am retired, but I have a LOT of energy and am constantly working on new projects. I would love to talk and brainstorm ideas with you when you have some spare time. Send me an email address and I will send you some ideas that I think will be very useful to your Global program. Lou Tharp 727-642-8201 - cell I think we have very similar interests and worldviews.
