      Hi, Your usage of the various tools necessary in a NLE are quite impressive. You have included a multitude of tools that support social learning, collaboration, access to nodes of information, usage of "old tools" for new learning opportunities, and the creation of products with group support, guidance, and cooperation. Good job of Connectivism.

      Hi, Good usage of collaboration tools to create an effective learning environment. Collaborative learning is a plus in Constructivism. Zotero is a tool that I personally havent heard of until now. This assignment has already taught me something. Also, good idea to include tutorials as some students, as myself, may not have had any exposure to these type of tools.

      The project definition page gives clear objectives and goals aligned to the standards. The unit is very organized and well written with attention paid to detail and clearly informing the participants. Some Web 2.0 tools are included in this unit including wiki capabilities and embedded media. I noticed that you had a Google Groups link on the sidebar, but you did not include Google Groups as a part of your unit. Google Sites as a wiki is acceptable for collaboration and discussion. You might consider creating pages for group work space or using some other social media tool. The links and forms are very useful to the learners. Evaluation rubrics are clear and well defined so that the participants can construct their projects successfully. Overall a well developed unit for students to understand news bias and how to conduct a video interview. A minor suggestion is to make your font consistent through the unit. The first page uses every large font, and the following pages do not have consistent font. There are also some pages that use different styles of font. The look and flow of the pages will be improved with the same size font throughout. Otherwise the rest of the unit looks and feels very professional and is organized well. You might also consider including some other tools that can help support connectivism. You might have students use Diigo to comment on or annotate links, they could use Delicious to find resources to share with their peers, or they could create their own wiki as their group space. I hope that you have an opportunity to use this unit, it sounds like a fun learning experience for the participants!

      Thanks for looking at this unit. Actually the unit has three assignments and 2 of the three are group involvement. The one you are looking at is individually accomplished. The beauty of this assignment is that it is shared on Flickr so students critique each other using the Web 2.0 tool.

      Hello Russ, 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 rubrics you included were informative and supported your lesson content. Even though I am not familiar with photography, the information provided was interesting and engaging. The pictures you shared are wonderful. I am certain your students enjoyt your lessons immensely. Great job!

      This module is the real assessment to see if learning occurred. It includes a vast amount of tools that have been discussed and a few that require discovery, which is realistic when it comes to emerging technologies. There will be some tools you want to use before you begin a workshop. It is very challenging yet rewarding in my opinion.

      Hi This assignment again places the responsibility of learning with the student/group. The utilization of of web-based tools, interpreting the needs assessment, and the collaboration and communication tools support the elements of Constructivism and in some forms Connectivism by creating an environment of continuous learning in various perspectives.

      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.

      The strategy I used had to do with training the school on these tools before we could begin talking and demonstarting NLE and PLE. However, I felt that I was able to provide activities that engeged them in connectivist learning principles by having the discover by the process of clicking and trying out.

    • Dennis Marsollier

      One weakness in developing my unit properly was time. But the major weakness has to do with the environment I creted this unit for. Essentially, I am helping a school incorporate Google Apps. They have never used these web 2.0 features so the first part realy had to do with training. My presentation on NLE and PLE could have been developed further and alligned them better with connectivist principles.

      Content; Overall the content focuses on creating useful and aesthetically pleasing virtual learning objects. language skills will progress though naturalistic engagement in the project (a number of different forms of communication including brainstorming, programming and presenting using different thematically connected language skills). Considering the 2 leels of learning please see my notes on technology below. Technology; The project uses collaborative wiki technology as well as Second life which, being a persistent online world with the ability to embed traditional text based CMC far outweighs many other formats in terms of providing a large variety of interaction methods (see answer to question 2 above). Furthermore the lesson revolves around creating virtual learning object will will also be used by future generations of learners as well as the constructors themselves. Thus we have published student work which contributes to learning and the learning of future students. Instructional Strategies; More linked to socio-cognitivism than connectivism (sorry i still cannot base pedagogy on something which I dont feel has gained a theory level of backing. There is no empirical evidence for connectivism and basing pedagogy on it would only serve to potentially hurt learners). Again we have a group created learning object project here which contibute to learning in their creation and finished project , working on 2 levels. Assessment. Assessment is peer, self and instructor based with a rather heavy weighting to peer based opposed to most classes. Additionally there is an added macro level element of assessment in that future generations of students will also be interacting with and using current student Second Life virtual classroom object creations. This I feel ads a nice level as students' object will be around for the remainder of the class and long after they are gone thus inspiring them to do their best.

      Overall I would say the weakness in my unit would be given the short amount of time students have to compete it (roughly 1 month) I am not 100% sure they will be able to do this. Naturally I would need to pilot it and be flexible. In terms of language learning, I use a more communicative exposure method. R. Jones publishes a lot on this in interaction research and my own research has found online game mediums to be more linguistically interactive than traditional CMC. Perhpahs my unit would benefit from some direct language instruction, however I would need to base this off of an initial needs assessment done by students undertaking the project.

      If one month is too short, how much time do you think your students need?
    • bodi anderson
      bodi anderson on 05 Dec 09
       
      As I said above , the lesson would need to be properly piloted first (as all lessons generally do). I would estimate no longer than 1.5 months though,

      Content definteily supports organizaiton learning network environments. Site provides for group collaboration and activity through group activities and use of 2nd life. Google site format lends itself to network learning and the content itself, second life, is most definitely network learning. Integrated technologies include tutorials on how to use second life, second life itself, wordle, and the google site that hosts the unit. I think second life itself is the strongest integrated technology and really stands on its own considering its abilities to allow people to connect in such a unique, virtual manner. Instructional strategies include individual assignemnts to familiarize with second life and then group collaboration to design a classroom and develop a presentation. Core of the project is focused on gropu collaboration as it should using the second lfie technology. Unit provides for peer review and evaluation of group members as well as instructor review of individual and group submission of artifacts and products. Bodi, I think this is an excellent use of network learning environments. I like that you use a new and budding technology in googlsites and that you are instructing learners on how to create a virtual classroom within second life. If this does not highlight connectivism and constructivism then I have completely misunderstood the definitions of the two. Your site is very easy to navigate and understand. All assignments are very clear and provide for little opportunity of misunderstanding or confusion. I would be very intersted in participating a learning environment such as this. Great job!

      Bodi, Thank you for sharing your unit plan and it is a pleasure to walk through your ideas. The topic of your unit is timely and well chosen to fit an EFL context such as the one you chose (Japan). The objectives are well stated at the forefront. The tutorials are great too because they build a good basis for student understanding of Second Life. Good job! The technology is very popular and well liked by students, so it helps motivate learning. Your unit is very well planned and designed. The activities are doable and motivating. Navigation is also easy. Maybe including a timeline would help students meet. The connectivism principle of collaboration, sharing, evaluation as well as peer review are all embedded nicely in your unit. Like you said, one major problem might be the relatively short time you chose to allocate to this unit (1 month). Overall, I enjoyed reading your unit and walking through the tutorials. Congratulations!

      The unit has very clear goals and objectives that support connectivist learning for both the participants and the students of the participants. It will directly impact classroom teaching to incorporate a strong Web 2.0 tool (virtual space within Second Life). The lessons support learners using tutorials and instructions that are clear well developed for the appropriate audience. The use of Wordle is great to show connectivity between concept ideas and is fun and creative! How cool that group work, discussions, and presentations can all be done in Second Life as if it were an actual classroom! I really need to get involved in learning more about SL! Thanks for showing me some of the educational application in your unit and how it seems to be a great virtual space that integrates connectivism and constructivism with many Web 2.0 tools! The evaluation rubric of the presentations is clear and focused. You might consider using Google Docs Forms so that participants can submit their answers which will directly embed them in a spreadsheet for you. Participants also have the opportunity to reflect on learning and their group members. Great job Bodi!

It is also imperative that individuals focus on areas that they appear to be weak in so that when new information is introduced, a strong foundation for the basics have already been covered and mastered.
