Open Broadcast Studio - Desktop Transmission to Facebook Live --- It Worked!!! ...

Ok, so I am an edugeek and tonight I did a tryout of live streaming from my desktop to Facebook Live. While a little 'rough' around the edges and definitely low par in production values. It did work and wasn't difficult to produce.

So, what do you think about simulation ...

Ok, this is not a scientific study, the audience participation is likely to be from a self selecting group etc. So lets call this a poll amongst friends, followers and like minded. A question that is structural to my research is ... Do you think simulation can replace real hardware, when teaching networking? To remain fair, I am not going to share my opinion as it is biased and please don't try and answer this to please me (as I really don't know who will be answering and if you know me, you will know that it won't). Please take a look at the top left of this blog and based on your personal opinion, answer either yes or no. You do not have to be an expert, or an academic or even a teccie, everyone's opinion in this context counts. The opinions below are valid view points, but must not contribute to your own independent decision, please complete the question before reading these. =================================...

Packet Tracer using Wineskin Winery ...

Ok, for many who read my blog, you may be aware that I dabble with many geeky projects, some count as work. As a fan of the shiny world of Mac, I have produced a couple of creative commons resources over the years for the Cisco Academy community, covering how Packet Tracer may be ported to a Mac. Looks like we now have a potentially tidy version three offering, moving from Virtual Machine, to Play on Mac now to a fully 'bottled' app, I have this working on v 5.3.3 and v6.0 (beta) To download please follow this link and download the app for 5.3.3, it looks like it will work on .... Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion, but this I would like to see tested. Multiuser seems to work, but you MUST set a rule in your firewall to allow this, otherwise your Mac will ignore any connection attempts. Yes you will need to unzip the contents of the folder to a location that you wish to run this, I may work on a DMG file, but lets do one step at a time. Please also note, it is 2...

The Pascal debate ...

Last night I deliberately started a debate on a ‘teachers of programming’ forum to gauge response. As expected those who were ‘interested’ in sticking to their ideas responded. I asked the question … I am of the view that Pascal is best kept in the past, where anyone who says that they are still teaching current programming skills using this language, worries me. Am I being unreasonable? The response was defensive and encouraged those who feel that it is something they must teach to self-acknowledge this fact. My concerns regarding Pascal stem from many positions: Old technology, being taught now …. If this were current in any way I would have less of an issue. It concerns me that some still teach C, but its structure is such that it does help programmers learn something that many systems use. But Pascal’s verbose structure is from a time gone, so why? Is it being used in anger? There is a place for scratch and greenfoot in getting stude...
