July 20, 2008 Notes
What a day - Got up at 7:30 to leave for airport at 7:55 to get Brus on the way back to Seattle. Got back home and read Chapter 3 of HODE 2007. I had started to read the 2003 edition HODE and had read the first 11 chapters when the 2007 edition arrived. I decided to read both books a part (section) at a time, Part 1 of the 2003 edition followed by Part 1 of the 2007 version. Both editions have 5 parts in common. The 2007 version has an additional part not in the 2003 edition. I will have a similar problem in 90 days (44 plus 46) when I get ready to start in on the Handbook of Reaearch on Educational Communications and Technology. I just got the 3rd Edition which came out in 2008. This background reading helps me prepare for my projected blog series, Online Learning Today, a review of current research in online learning and teaching.

Then I fired up the MacBook Pro to synch up the iPhone and check for Ed 603 student assignments so I could do the regular Sunday upload of the online gradebook file, when a message popped up saying the 2.0 firmware upgrade for the iPhone was ready to be downloaded. Hurray. This of course took awhile and the old MacBook Pro was busy preparing a netflix movie to be transferred to AppleTV so I opened up the HV20 and started recording John's Tech Vlog in the blue recliner with Chobe sitting in my lap.

The refitted iPhone seemed to be working perfectly so I clicked on the new app button and downloaded a New York Times reader (free) and Super Monkey Ball ($9.99).

It is almost time for supper and I am again sitting in the blue recliner with Chobe in my lap entering text into a Notes document. Time to send it to wassonjbw for inclusion in the iPhoneJournal on blogger.
