Subject: [DDN] Celebrating 11 Years of Blogging - Sort Of
Hi everyone,
Eleven years ago today on the EDTECH and LM_NET lists, I launched my first
website, EdWeb: Exploring Technology and School Reform
(www.edwebproject.org). The site was the result of a post-graduate
fellowship from Northwestern University's Annenberg-Washington Program.
I'd spent the summer of 1994 working at the Corporation for Public
Broadcasting researching the impact on telecommunications reform on K-12
education. Because I was just a lowly grad student, they weren't willing
to publish my findings in an official capacity, so instead I learned HTML,
set up a Web server on my old Mac Classic, and launched EdWeb myself. It
was one of the very first websites examining the role of the Web in
education, and it propelled me into the work on the digital divide that
I'm doing 11 years later.
Meanwhile, as part of EdWeb, I set up a personal homepage for myself
called Andy Carvin's Waste of Bandwidth As you can see from this archival
copy of my homepage from around eight years ago, the page was organized
with my latest news updates at the top, with older information further
down the page.
http://web.archive.org/web/19970620115056/http://edweb.cnidr.org/andy.html
Over time, I eventually stopped coding the page by hand and switched to
various blogger tools, including Blogger and Movable Type.
Today, of course, Andy Carvin's Waste of Bandwidth - still a part of EdWeb
but with its own domain name, www.andycarvin.com - is my primary way of
saying whatever it is I want to say online. So in a way, I'm able to
celebrate the 11th anniversary of my blog today. Perhaps not a blog in
function that whole time, but certainly a blog in spirit. (grin) -andy
