    Dannenberg, David; DeHass, David (University of Alaska Anchorage, 2016-09-14)
    Yo Nerds, So, I'm getting tired of our guests pulling a no show. Nothing I can do about it but, man, it bugs me. So today's show has a little bit of everything for your listening pleasure. Keep those ear holes listening, The Boss.
  • TKR S2E3: Where in the World is Intern Josh?

    Dannenberg, David; DeHass, David (University of Alaska Anchorage, 2016-09-07)
    Yo Nerds, A show without Intern Josh? What is the world coming to? That's right, Intern Josh was missing from today's show. Well, not really missing as we knew where he was but he wasn't present either. Unfortunately, neither were the guests we had lined up so DeHass and I carried on as did the best we could. We talked about the new Innovation Design Studio that will be coming in October. As part of the Robust Online Learning Grant, the IDS will become the hub of innovation at UAA, featuring 3D printers, two Oculus Rift headsets, and a Microsoft Hololens. The lab will be used for online course content and ePortfolio development. We also talked about the iPhone 7 announcement Appl is holding on Sept 7. Were the rumors fact or fiction? We will find out soon. And, of course, no show is complete without some iHiT news. The great state of Texas never ceases to amaze us. Keep those ear holes listen. The Boss

Deb has been a fixture at UAA for years and the host of KRUA’s Informania radio show, airing Wednesday’s at 9 am.

  • TKR22: Wearable Tech

    Dannenberg, David; DeHass, David (University of Alaska Anchorage, 2016-04-01)
    Yo nerds, We are back. I know it’s been a while but we are finally able to get our podcast edition updated. Technical difficulties plague us all. Josh the Intern has been working behind the scenes and thanks to him we are up an running once again. This week’s show focused on the use of Wearable Technology, that is technology that you wear and interact with on your body. With the wearable market looking it increase to a $50 billion industry in the next ten years, its important that we understand what it is and how to take advantage of it in education moving forward. Forbes just had an interesting article if you want to read up. We also had another round of It Happened In Texas (iHiT). It never ceases to amaze us on what happens in the second largest state. Road tripping for Sad Papaw cookout Bakeries feud over 4-sided doughnuts Demolition company destroys wrong home by mistake (TX) This week we also used YouTube to live broadcast the the show. After the show YouTube muted the audio. We are guessing it’s because the music during the commercials break. We are working on getting it corrected. Until then we won’t embedded it here, but if you want to check it out, you can here. We will back on air next week to discuss UAA’s Department of Education Title III grant focused on Building a Robust Online Environment. Until then, keep those ear holes listening,

  • TKR19: Pokemon

    Dannenberg, David; DeHass, David (University of Alaska Anchorage, 2016-03-01)
    Yo nerds,Pokemon_collection Today’s show was all about Pokemon (Gotta catch ’em all). DeHass and I knew next to nothing about this but after months of whining, Josh the Intern wore us down and we agreed to let him celebrate Pokemon’s 20th birthday. You have to listen to the podcast to understand the depth of our ignorance, and Josh’s fascination of the Pokemon universe. You can also watch it all on the Periscope replay. Coming back after a week away, I had another rousing round of iHiT. The stories just get weirder and weirder.

  • TKR15: Tech Fellows

    Dannenberg, David; DeHass, David; Hedwig, Travis; Howard, Veronica; Madden, Lara (University of Alaska Anchorage, 2016-02-02)
    Yo Nerds, Today’s show dealt with the UAA Technology Fellowship program. The program, celebrating its 11th year, is designed to encourage and foster student achievement through the use of technology engaged learning with faculty and staff at UAA. We were delights to have Travis Hedwig, Veronica Howard, and Lara Madden in studio to talk about the program and there experience in the program. Travis is doing some really exciting work integrating ePortfolios into the Health Science program. Not to be outdone, Veronica is using OER and has redesigned her Psychology class to be textbook free. Very Cool. The Boss did another segment of It Happened in Texas (iHiT). 1. Inflatable Miley Cyrus doll stolen 2. Man punches horse flank 3. Officer mistaken for Male Stripper As always we spent time kidding Josh about anything he has going on in his life. But, congratulations are in order for his upcoming I AM UAA profile in the Green and Gold. We’ll be sure to post it when the story goes up live. Keep those ear holes listening.
  • TKR14: Space Jam

    Dannenberg, David; DeHass, David; Smith, Omega (University of Alaska Anchorage, 2016-01-26)
    What up Nerds! This week’s show focused on space. We had UAA Planetarium and Visualization Theater Manager, Omega Smith, in with us to talk about their program. Be sure to check out the talk on Friday about Extrasolar Planets. The Boss, tried out a new feature this week, It Happened in Texas (iHiT). The goal is to find the news story that happened in Texas. Believe it or not, all the below stories are true but only one of them happened in the second great state of Texas. Shot by armadillo Half marathon dog Escaped cow Keep those ear holes listening.
  • TKR13: YouTube

    Dannenberg, David; DeHass, David (University of Alaska Anchorage, 2016-01-22)
    Yo Nerds, This weeks show dealt with YouTube. I think just about everyone has heard of the video streaming site/service, but we, especially The Boss, don’t all understand exactly why it is so popular. We shared some interesting facts about the platform and the value it can provide. Intern Josh watches it the most, too many anime series to mention, and DeHass is actually making money with a YouTube Channel. Both faculty and students can use it to share video. AI&e has a series of videos that talk about YouTube and how to use it to upload video into a Blackboard course. Keep those ear holes listening.
  • TKR12: Virtual Reality

    Dannenberg, David; DeHass, David; Webb, Richard (University of Alaska Anchorage, 2016-01-13)
    Yo Nerds, On the airwaves of KRUA Tech-Know Radio broke the silence to talk about virtual reality. Dr. Richard Webb joined us on air to talk about his work with VR, or virtual environments as he calls it. DeHass thought the show was a little too educational, but I will let you be the judge.
  • TKR11: Welcome to 2016

    Dannenberg, David; DeHass, David (2016-01-06)
    Yo nerds, The first show of the new year, and one of the few airing on KRUA. Do ask whats up with the station because we don’t know. Our best guess is that Santa or the reindeer kicked something over the holidays. This week we recapped our holiday adventures, talked about some presents, and generally just relaxed into the new year. Here’s wishing you the very best as we kick off 2016.
  • TKR10: Happy Holidays

    Dannenberg, David; DeHass, David (University of Alaska Anchorage, 2015-12-22)
  • TKR9: Star Wars….need we say more

    Dannenberg, David; DeHass, David (University of Alaska Anchorage, 2015-12-17)
    Hello Nerds, This week is all about the release of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. Rather than doing what every other self respecting franchise fan (or Starwoidz) was doing, waiting in line for the first showing, The Boss missed the show to run around the woods on a school field trip. It’s OK though, he spent the whole time pretending to be an Ewok on the Forest Moon of Endor. Those kids had no idea what was happening but fun was had by all. If you missed the show on Tuesday, listen to it below then seriously contemplate watching the movie in the theater at the first opportunity you have.
  • TKR8: The Blackboard Queens

    Dannenberg, David; DeHass, David; Madden, Laura; Ross, Amy (University of Alaska Anchorage, 2015-12-08)
    Hello Nerds, Today’s show focused on Blackboard Learn and UAA’s pending upgrade over the Winter break. We were joined on the show by UAA’s very own BLACKBOARD QUEENS, Lara Madden and Amy Ross, who work behind the scenes to ensure things work as best they can for both faculty and students. From the sound of things the upgrade will fix and improve our Blackboard quite a bit. We also talked about the Blackboard apps that will be available for use after the upgrade. Intern Josh also mentioned that you can add money to your WolfCard from the UAA Mobile app. Keep those ear holes listening,
  • TKR7: Meet the CIO

    Dannenberg, David; DeHass, David; Shier, Patrick (University of Alaska Anchorage, 2015-12-01)
    Hello Nerds,Pat Shier On today’s show we spent our time with UAA Chief Information Officer (CIO) Pat Shier. Pat is a life-long Alaskan with an interesting past and an eye towards the future. As the CIO, Pat leads our Information Technology Services department which oversees the UAA network, wireless, email, public computer labs, Call Center, and many other services. It was nice discussion, and we didn’t even let Intern Josh derail the show. Keep your ear holes listening, The Boss
