This post is strictly about a few songs I enjoyed and nothing more. The first song is from a Canadian band, Faunts. Go ahead and click and listen to some synthesized niceness. Good way to kick off/complete your Wednesday.
The second track is from a band called Telekinesis, a Seattle outfit/individual with a fairly pronounced web and social media presence. The track is called the Coast of Carolina, and while I might not be dreaming of the coast of Carolina (or indeed any part of Carolina), I can appreciate the catchiness of the track. Enjoy.
I suspect I will be back at my mobile learning-est in subsequent posts, but sometimes a few tracks help you get through the morning’s emails/Twitter feeds/RSS Reader detritus. I provided you an illustration below because I am that kind of guy. The Tweetdeck columns just stretch on into oblivion and I had just cleaned my Google Reader the other day, but it just keeps incessantly coming. Like Wednesday.
My name is Michael Sean Gallagher. I am a Lecturer in Digital Education at the Centre for Research in Digital Education at the University of Edinburgh. I am Co-Founder and Director of Panoply Digital, a consultancy dedicated to ICT and mobile for development (M4D); we have worked with USAID, GSMA, UN Habitat, Cambridge University and more on education and development projects. I was a researcher on the Near Futures Teaching project, a project that explores how teaching at The University of Edinburgh unfold over the coming decades, as technology, social trends, patterns of mobility, new methods and new media continue to shift what it means to be at university. Previously, I was the Research Associate on the NERC, ESRC, and AHRC Global Challenges Research Fund sponsored GCRF Research for Emergency Aftershock Forecasting (REAR) project. I was an Assistant Professor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (한국외국어대학교) in Seoul, Korea. I have also completed a doctorate at University College London (formerly the independent Institute of Education, University of London) on mobile learning in the humanities in Korea.
