      How will you use this resource in your course, tina?

      Right now I see it as a supplemental resource for getting a glimpse into the very important aspect of Native culture which is oral storytelling. Somewhere along the way we'll look at oral tradition and I imagine there may be at least one student who will pursue the topic in their research.
  • The speakers also talk about the relation of their oral tradition to their native communities. Five programs are recorded in native Indian languages with English subtitles so that students have an opportunity to experience the beauty and complexity of these languages.

      Students who choose some aspect of Native American culture (oral traditions of storytelling, for example) could benefit from seeing/hearing songs and stories relayed in native language

  • Andrew Natonabah Through a unique blend of imagery and sound, this website captures the complex oral traditions of Native American communities in the American Southwest. Songs are sung and stories told within the landscapes which inspired them.

      I realized I didn't include anything about CC in my open course.  A poster might be a way to add an image, while still giving students a chance to learn about it.

      I love infographics.  They have a perfect blend of image and text, though the stats can be skewed a little.  This one has an interesting chart on the right about how "open" the different versions are.  It's much better than the ones I find when I google.

      I only tagged those tools that I am interested in using in my online course but there are many other tools and since this is a blog it is updated frequently. Also they have put a creative commons license on this blog so anyone can use the information in their own courses as long as they give credit to the author of the Blog.

      Wow I hit the jackpot here in Melot. This blog has links out to how to manual for many of the tools I want to teach in my online course. I cannot highlight the links but I encourage those of you who are interested in learning web 2.0 tool to visit this blog. It's quite informative.

Teaching versus training - 0 views

  • Last term I asked my students to provide feedback on the software engineering course I teach. One student reported that, although he liked the course and appreciated that I'd spent most of my career in the "real world," many times he felt that I was doing corporate training rather than teaching.
  • For many years of my business career, it was my responsibility to train clients on the best ways to use the products and services my company sold them. My student's remarks led me to ask myself many questions. Was I really still behaving like a trainer? What assumptions was I making about teaching and my primary responsibility to my students? And fundamentally, what is the difference between teaching and training? In this column I'd like to share my thoughts on these issues and examine how teaching and training are viewed differently in the halls of academia from in corporate boardrooms. Perhaps this will help you think constructively about what your organization values in its employees and what it does to further their professional development.
  • each has many alternate definitions, including: To cause to know something To guide the studies of To impart the knowledge of To instruct by precept, example, or experience Definitions for train are: To form by instruction, discipline, or drill To make prepared for a test of skill

  • Everything we do in our lives requires a balance between two things or more - a compromise. This column talks about the balance between theory and practice, so it is appropriate to consider that balance with respect to training and teaching. In my January 2004 column, I explained how I am seeking the right blend of theory and practice in my software development courses. My primary job is to prepare students for the rest of their working lives and help them succeed in their careers. So I first have to ensure that they learn fundamental principles and then teach them to use specific tools and techniques as time allows.

If My Cat Can Compose, What's Your Excuse? - 0 views

  • Now, I know from personal experience that the thought of creating a musical composition can overwhelm a “purr”son. (Oops!) In the past, I have tried too hard and nothing musical ever developed. So, since Al is a relaxed and laid-back composer, I will follow his example and listen for musical ideas in the world around me.

      This parapgrah is a cute way of letting students know that it is ok to feel a bit anxious about creating a piece of music.
  • Now after this mornings shower, I heard the annoying but rhythmic beat from my leaking bathroom faucet. In the kitchen, the whirring and pulsing sounds of the food blender were jazzy and invigorating. When turning on the TV, the first few notes that I heard became the beginning of a song. Fire engines and ambulance provided ALARMING possibilities. At last I was composing!!

      This paragraph fits very nicely into a Unit I always did in the F2F environment in 6th grade called Found Sounds. This might tie nicely to a F2F experience the students could have with composing in the classroom as a precursor to composing in their Software program.

      At last, a glimmer of possiblity in how to blend my learning environments :-)
  •  
    This brief story I found on MERLOT is perfect for my Composition unit. The story tells of a person who becomes inspired to compose music by listening to the world around her.
  •  
    Excellent anecdote about how to become inspired to create a composition.

      I love this site! It presents reading material at three levels: beginner, intermediate and advanced Spanish readers. After you make your selection, you are brought to a page offering pre-reading activities, the story in text form, and post-reading activities. Students can't help but learn from this site. A balanced blend of grammar, vocabulary, culture and history makes this site interesting and engaging. A pop-up dictionary enables students to understand new vocabulary in context. Awesome!
