Why I want to be a VIP BbWorld blogger: @Blackboard wants me to cover #BbW12 (they just don’t know it yet)

I started blogging about Moodle back in 2009 and have continued at Moodlenews.com which is now getting somewhere around 50,000 views a month.  I know all there is about Moodle.  In addition, I’ve also been using Blackboard Learn since early 2010 in my daily work at StraighterLine and we use the latest and greatest that Bb Learn has to offer.  PS, not only do I know what Ocho is, but we’ve streamlined our site with the theme and are already using the advanced reporting features.

I’m a fan of learning/education technology and always try the latest releases, new LMS launches and demo all of the platforms that I can (as often as I can).  If there’s something happening in the world of LMSs, I’ve probably read the article (and in many cases I have written something about it).  I’m focused on student learning and experience and do everything I can to make online learning better (for everyone).

So if you want someone who knows your platforms, knows your competition, knows your newest acquisition and has a long track record of writing and covering learning management system news: I am your man.
