      Common Question I: Aligned Connectivism Principles Please discuss three most important strategies of NLE/PLE in your unit, identify what aligned Connectivism principle(s) are, and discuss the assessments you integrate. Remember NLE/PLE strategies are not your contents or "technologies," such as wiki, discussion board etc. It is the integrated soft technologies. If you don't remember Connectivism principles, please review our Lesson 1 readings. Hint: be sure to include four components of technology integrations: Content; Technology; Instructional Strategies; Assessment.

      * Knowing where to find information; the links provided to learners to engage in unit content were informative and facilitated learning. * Diversity of opinions: Group collaboration within the unit lesson plans supported social networking and enabled learners to share ideas and personal knowledge. * A variety of learning tools; Web 2.0 tools provided allowed learners to collaborate in different forms. Having different approaches to communicate and share information facilitates learning since we all have different learning styles.

      * More than four components of technology integration; may be overwhelming to those learners who are not technology savvy. * Rubric for essay assignment should have included more content; more specific on expectations of assignment. * Video embedded for instructional strategies instead of links to video.

      Adrianna, It was a distinct pleasure reviewing your unit. Overall you unit is well organized, easy to follow, contains great instructions and graphics. I do not know anything about dentistry, but I think if I participated in your unit I would learn a great deal. I will comment in individual sticky notes by the 4 categories suggested for giving feedback. Excellent job!!

      Question: I would be interested to learn your experience in introducing 7 technologies in one unit. In my organization that would be too much, too fast. It may be a difference in organizational culture.

      I agree with you Betsy. I thought about the number of components of technology integration and it may bee too much for those learners who may not be technology savvy. Great point..thank you.

      Technology integration: Several web 2.0 tools used in unit. Will students have issues learning all these tools as well as the content for the unit, or will they be familira with technology enough for this to not be an issue?
    • Adrianna Coronel
      Adrianna Coronel on 07 Dec 09
       
      Yes you are right. I should have limited the Web 2.0 tools to maybe 4 total for those individuals who may not be technology savvy. Thank you.

      I am posting this on behalf of Melissa: Adrianna, In your unit, you included many web 2.0 tools such as: Blogger, Diigo, Google Docs, iGoogle, Twitter, Voice Thread, and Webspiration. In Lesson One, you incorporated Twitter for discussions. Group Discussions help create a connectivist structure to learning by allowing students to collaborate. You also had students create an iGoogle account, which allows them to create a central location for all of the tools required in the unit. A group blogger was also incorporated into the lesson. Students are asked to share the blog with the instructor and reflect what they learned, but it seemed the reflections were more individual than group. Your content on Dental Materials was well formed and you provided a lot of information, in very nice powerpoint presentations. It showed you put a lot of work into your unit. I feel you could have provided more assessment, but personal reflection is always a good form of assessment. I am somewhat confused on the blogger assignment, as it says to create a group blog, but the questions are more personal than group oriented. Melissa

      The blogs are for me to see as the instructor and the lesson discussion through wiki and twitter are student to student collaboration. Thank you.

      The blog is for student, teacher interaction and the discussion areas like wiki and twitter are for student-student interaction.

  • Advocates of media literacy believe the best way to become media literate is to produce media and engage in the editorial choices that professional producers and journalists make.

  • "Teaching adults and children how to analyze the media is an essential survival skill for the twenty-first century," he says. And as more adults -- such as parents, teachers, and staff in community-based programs -- work together to address children's media literacy, a more comprehensive approach can evolve to address students' media literacy at home, in school, and in after-school or summer programs.

      Media literacy should include the skills of literacy extended to all message form. Media literacy should include reading, and writing, speaking and listening, and the ability to make your own messages using a wide range of technologies, including cameras, camcorders, and pc's.
  • When students shoot and edit a videotape, they learn that all media is a manipulation of choices every step of the way."

      Manipulation is a strong word but appropriate in my opinion. There really is no such thing a bias free media. However, at least they should try to be objective.

  • We try to saturate a community with information," says Director McCannon, so everyone -- parents, teachers, and students -- is focused on media literacy.

      Saturating the community with information is not necessarily a bad idea. What counts is how each member is able to process it.
  • The more our children participate in the creative process, the greater chance they have to understand what's involved and the more they'll realize that nothing is preordained, nothing just appeared.

      This is very true! Without giving children the opportunity to manipulate media, how would they use their critical thinking skills? What most parents worry about, though, is their kids Internet safety. With little training on safety issues, paprents should feel confident letting their kids surf the net to create their own content.
  • Headphones and CD players have become so much a part of the middle and high school students' "uniform" that backpacks are now designed to accommodate the gear.

      This isn't as recent a revelation as this paragraph makes it sound. I got my first walkman as a young kid in the 80's as a result of my dad confiscating it from a student that had tried to record answers to a test and use it in class.
  • Parents, teachers, and other interested adults need to give them opportunities to become creators of their own media -- and then to talk about those experiences, too

      My Gov't project for 2nd quarter is for students to create campaign commercials. It should be a good opportunity for them to see just how information can be manipulated and twisted to fit into a thirty second ad spot.

      The process that is involved in documentary making is an effective way for students to understand that everything they see and hear was made by choices people behind the camera and in the editing room make. It makes you questions what and why to say the least.
  • And they're creating an interdisciplinary curriculum to provide students of all ages with the skills necessary to move from being passive consumers of media to critical listeners, viewers, readers, and producers of all types of media

      I don't think the article gives students enough credit. As teachers we have our students analyze various forms of media and students analysis will become more automatic for them. I do think that students are less likely to analyze the entertainment side of media.

      I remember analyzing video taped movies in high school classes. I don't think analyzing everything they come across is a necessity. I do however think that it's great they are sharing media and videos with parents, and having discussions with them. That is a great way to learn, share and come up with new and interesting ideas.

      Hi Julie, the content of this unit supports organizational learning network environment. The Web 2.0 tools you integrated into the lesson plans are feasible and enable group collaboration. You included 4 components of technology integration as required. Your unit integrates Constructivism instructional strategies. The learners will have an understanding of technology integration in the classroom and its importance. Your goals and objectives were clear and concise. The rubric you included was informative and supported your lesson content. Great job!

      Yes, that is my goal. The group has bonded in the F2F classroom environment. I want them to continue their learning with and from one another. In this economic environment we can't afford to take the learners away from work for learning; the digital environment is perfect and something with which this group is familiar (using our LMS). This site is intended to take them to the next level of digital savviness and collaboration.

    I read the article, Media Literacy: Collaborating to Create Media-Savvy Young People | Edutopia, and it is so great .Learning that is student centered, fun, creative, and socially interactive is ideal, and I've experienced this type of learning at the junior college I attended. It felt like a gift of such a great and personal magnitude and I got to thinking about those who never get a chance to experience that feeling.
