Educational Technology, Games, and Other Concerns

Welcome to the Becker Blog.

(Yeah, I know, a little pompous. What can I say? My name starts with a ‘B’. Deal with it.)

This blog, although public, is primarily intended for my own use. I’m not a huge fan of blogs – most people don’t have enough interesting and important things to say to warrant publishing what amounts to a one-man (or one-woman) newsletter. Also, most people don’t have the wisdom or experience to have their opinions carry that much weight. Now that’s not to say that their opinions shouldn’t count, it’s just that posting them publicly on a blog, does not, in and of itself, make them worth more than anyone else’s opinion. The weight of one’s opinion is an earned value.

However, I do find it useful to have a place to collect ideas and thoughts for potential later use. So that’s why this one is here. It is public because the things I collect may be useful to others and I’m all for sharing.
