On September 22, I presented a keynote at the Designs on eLearning conference on pigeons and cyborgs. You can find the full transcript of the talk here.

An excerpt:

One cannot talk about education psychology without talking about pigeons. One cannot talk about education technology without talking about education psychology. One cannot talk about education technology without talking about pigeons.
