Audio: LeMasney FOSS Presentation to Brookdale Computer Users Group

Here is the audio from my presentation on Friday night on Free and Open Source Software to the Brookdale Computer Users Group. We had a fantastic time, and I can’t wait to go back. We had a lot of laughs, we all learned a lot, and I feel like I have a lot of new friends out by the shore. Thanks to BCUG for being so welcoming!

FDD 2006: OSS tools for Concept Mapping

http://ghost.rider.edu/podcasts/fdd_0605_oss_conceptual_frameworks.mp3 is a podcast of my portion of the Rider University Faculty Development Day presentation on Concept Frameworks that I presented along with Reed Schwimmer and Peter Hester. After Reed and Peter gave an overview of the pedagogic aspects of concept mapping, I gave a short slideshow of screenshots of two fantastic Open Source tools: FreeMind, a straightforward mind mapping tool, and OpenOffice.org’s Draw which does a very nice job of diagramming, flow charts, mind maps, and more.

I will link to the slideshow when I upload it.

Bike Ride with Free Thought Association

This is a recording where I decided to wear my iRiver and a lapel mic while on one of my nightly bike rides. It turned into a sort of free-thought monologue where I talk about [Dr.] Joe Torre at the Rider University Commencement, night riding, my neighborhood, Jack, and a whole lot more. Fun, wacky stuff.
