Students 2.0

Posted December 7th, 2007 by Bill

Coming soon to a tube near you:

I'm looking forward to seeing what develops on this blog. From their site:

Administered, designed, edited, and written by a global mix of students of varying ages, interests, voices, and points of view, Students 2.0 will feature content written by both staff writers and guest contributors. From Hawaii and Washington, from St. Louis and Chicago, from Vermont, New York, Scotland, Korea, and other points on the globe, these writings will be united in one central aspect: quality student writing, full-voiced and engaging, about education.

Jeff Graham Is In The House!

Posted November 9th, 2007 by Bill

File this under "Better Late then Never."

In August of this year, Jeff Graham joined the team at FunnyMonkey. We had been looking for a talented developer for a while, but hiring the right person -- especially for a small company -- is tricky. The fit needs to go beyond more than skill set -- there also needs to be some philosophical overlap, and some similarities concerning the approach to getting work done.

Prior to joining us, Jeff did a large amount of Moodle development as part of the Moodle development team at Humboldt State University (HSU) and as an independent contractor. Jeff was the lead Moodle developer at HSU when HSU won the Andrew W. Mellon award for Technology Collaboration in 2006. Jeff was also one of the primary developers on Moodle's gradebook for Moodle 1.5 through 1.8, and has contributed numerous other patches that have been incorporated into Moodle core. As an independent contractor, Jeff worked on projects for the likes of Intel doing custom development to extend Moodle to support their "Teach Essentials Online Course", and he has worked with other clients to support single sign on between multiple applications.
