IMLS Awards National Leadership Grants to 51 Institutions: $17.9 Million Dist... - 0 views

  • The University of California, Santa Cruz Campus will digitize materials from its Grateful Dead Archive and make them available in a unique and cutting-edge Web site, the Virtual Terrapin Station. The Virtual Terrapin Station will provide access to Grateful Dead Archive materials and tools to facilitate public contributions to the archive. This project will enable the university to convert a significant part of a traditional archive to digital form and make it available online while simultaneously experimenting with the impact of fostering, creating, and curating a large, socially constructed archive. The project will develop a click-through permissions form for content contributors and will extend the reach of the Grateful Dead Archive to the academic research community. It will also implement and contribute to the development of the IMLS-funded exhibition tool, Omeka

kolb's learning styles, experiential learning theory, kolb's learning styles inventory ... - 0 views

  • Despite this, (and this is my personal view, not the view of the 'anti-Learning Styles lobby'), many teachers and educators continue to find value and benefit by using Learning Styles theory in one way or another, and as often applies in such situations, there is likely to be usage which is appropriate, and other usage which is not.
  • Education is big business. Much is at stake commercially and reputationally, and so it is not surprising that debate can become quite fierce as to which methods work and which don't. So try to temper what you read with what you know and feel and experience. Personal local situations can be quite different to highly generalised averages, or national 'statistics'. Often your own experiences are likely to be more useful to you than much of the remote 'research' that you encounter through life. You must be careful how you use systems and methods with others, and be careful how you assess research and what it actually means to you for your own purposes.
  • A note about Learning Styles in young people's education: Towards the end of the first decade of the 2000s a lobby seems to have grown among certain educationalists and educational researchers, which I summarise very briefly as follows: that in terms of substantial large-scale scientific research into young people's education, 'Learning Styles' theories, models, instruments, etc., remain largely unproven methodologies. Moreover Learning Styles objectors and opponents assert that heavy relience upon Learning Styles theory in developing and conducting young people's education, is of questionable benefit, and may in some cases be counter-productive. Despite this, (and this is my personal view, not the view of the 'anti-Learning Styles lobby'), many teachers and educators continue to find value and benefit by using Learning Styles theory in one way or another, and as often applies in such situations, there is likely to be usage which is appropriate, and other usage which is not.

    "A note about Learning Styles in young people's education, and by implication potentially elsewhere too: I am grateful to the anonymous person who pointed me towards a seemingly growing lobby among educationalists and educational researchers, towards the end of the first decade of the 2000s, which I summarise very briefly as follows: that in terms of substantial large-scale scientific research into young people's education, 'Learning Styles' theories, models, instruments, etc., remain largely unproven methodologies. Moreover, Learning Styles objectors and opponents assert that the use of, and certainly the heavy reliance upon, Learning Styles theory in formulating young people's education strategies, is of questionable benefit, and may in some cases be counter-productive."

      mike: when you add a sticky, you need to post it to the group, otherwise it is a private annotation.

      Okay here I go!

      Students will be learning from this resource in my third module.
  •  
    Wow! This will be a great activity for my course! It takes students way back to a part of the Grateful dead's music influences that doesn't get much credit- at least in New York State!
  •  
    My annotations, highlights and stick notes for this resource can be found on MY Library on Diigo. For some reason, all my annotations are not showing up here on our group page. Anyone know why?

Podcasting - EduTech Wiki - 0 views

  • The concept of podcasting was proposed by Tristan Louis in October, 2000 and then it was carried out by Dave Winer, the author of the RSS format. Winer defined a new element called enclosure which passed the address of a media file to the RSS aggregator and then, he succeeded in enclosing a Grateful Dead song in his weblog on January, 2001.

Scholarly Communications @ Duke » Transformation and teaching - 0 views

  •  
    "ransformative uses are, broadly speaking, uses of copyrighted works which create something new that has a different purpose than the original work involved. Transformative works are often identified as those which do not create any kind of market competition with the original work. Thus a parody of a 1950's classic song by a 1980's rap group is a transformative use of the original, and an historical work about the Grateful Dead makes a transformative use of original concert posters for Dead concerts when it uses them to illustrate a time line. "
  •  
    "transformative"? The line is so blurry there. Just how much musical material do you have to use from another recording before it is "ripping off"? Otherwise, one of my project options for my final project is for a student to create a concert poster in the style of 1960s Fillmore/Winterland posters that illustrate a concept map of what the student has learned.

    Unfortunate that to get others on the opposing side the word "taxes" gets used. It is about time the GD received some legitimacy!

    • alexandra m. pickett
       
      in the olden days you had to manually shift and move the carriage to move from one line of typed text to another. Today word processer do that automatically. http://www.techterms.com/definition/wordwrap you wouldn't believe how many faculty hit the return key at the end of whatever line they are typing on... : ) me

      oh! so I can change that answer on my quiz then :)
  • They’re already half way there!
    • alexandra m. pickett
       
      Are they really? question that assumption! just cuz kids surf and text does not mean they know how to use the internet to learn or for professional or academic purposes. Can you find research to support that assertion?

  • I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to take this class. I have learned so much and have really enjoyed being involved in a community of learners with all of you. I have never truly felt like I have been part of a community of learners before, or really knew what that was or meant. I think this has resonated so strongly with me that it is something that I want to strive for with students in a face-to-face class or an online class, whichever comes first.
  • what does that actually do? What are they learning? Are they learning or enjoying it? Are they engaged? Are they interested?
  • I am so excited!
  • I wanted to be present in my course and have my students feel like I was a real person so I created a voki avatar, various voicethreads and discussions, contact hours, a completed profile, and I gave directions in a direct format. I would hope that right off the bat my students would feel comfortable in my class and would know that I would be there for them.

Curriculum and Instructional Design - 0 views

  • I can now see that learning to transform my ideas and beliefs about learning IS GOING TO require a constant and steady flow of reflective inquiry.
    • alexandra m. pickett
       
      brilliant!! : )
    • Donna Angley
       
      Took me a while to realize it as well!
    • Diane Gusa
       
      I am curious, what do you mean logical? Is it possible that what is logical to one student, will be chaos for another?
  • There are still so many tools and technologies to learn!
    • Kimberly Barss
       
      I KNOW! It is so overwhelming at times. I just keep telling myself "it's all going to be worth it!" It is extremely comforting, however, to hear the experts in the field and those who have been doing this for a long time saying that they felt the same way when they first began.

      I just found out tonight about this ability to use Diigo in our blogs to leave post-its....very cool!

  • Jun 21st,
  • I do not know all that there is to know about online learning
  • I need to move outside of comfort zone to make this course work!
  • I am able to read the discussion posts and announcements while I’m on the road, at work, exercising or shopping. I am able to stay connected to the course, and this has been a great help to my learning.
    • Donna Angley
       
      I'm a little jealous :-) I don't have internet on my phone, so I have to wait to be home to do any work at all. It must be nice to always have the option of connecting!
  • I still have so much learning to do
    • Donna Angley
       
      We all do...hopefully the learning never ends. I think of myself as one long work in progress.

      This has proved to be one of the more difficult portions of this course. It takes me hours to create a quality post, but I do learn a lot in the process.
    • Diane Gusa
       
      Hi Kristen I too am grateful for the experiences, even though that cause me great frustration, because those have made me dig deeper...
  • teacher
    • alexandra m. pickett
       
      it is teaching presence not teacher presence. there is a big difference. : )
  • This course allows me to learn the theoretical underpinnings of learning and teaching online, but also allows me to apply what I have learned and “make the connection” to my professional life and to the greater world!
  • From this point on, I have made the decision to be strategic about the design and impact of my course on my faculty’s personal and professional lives.
  • for business
    • alexandra m. pickett
       
      it is a process : )
  • stay consistent with the structure
    • Donna Angley
       
      It's taken a while for me to realize this as well. I've since gone back and added consistency throughout my modules.

The Wooden Periodic Table Table - 1 views

  • This website documents, in great depth, a large collection of chemical elements and examples of their applications, common and uncommon. Click any element tile above and you will find probably more than you ever wanted to know about that element. All these samples (well, at least the ones that fit) are stored in a wooden periodic table, by which I mean a physical table you can actually sit at, in my office at Wolfram Research. I decided to build this table by accident in early 2002, as a result of a misunderstanding while reading Uncle Tungsten by Oliver Sacks. I won't bore you with the details here (see the Complete Pictorial History of the Wooden Periodic Table Table), but once it was finished I felt obligated to start finding elements to go in it (because under the name of each element in my table there is a sample area). Then I started building a website to document all my samples, and that's when things really got out of hand. A few months later my little table won the 2002 Ig Nobel Prize in Chemistry, clearly the highest honor for which it is eligible. Sensing an audience, I began to take the website more seriously, which led to my being asked to write a monthly column for Popular Science magazine, which I've now been doing continuously since the July 2003 issue. Later I formed a most satisfying partnership with Max Whitby building high-end museum displays, selling element samples and sets, and filming video demonstrations of the chemical properties of the elements. This website now contains the largest, most complete library of stock photographs of the elements and their applications available anywhere, as well as a large and growing collection of 3D images documenting hundreds of samples rotated through 360 degrees. Try clicking on some elements in the table above: I think you'll be surprised what's lurking behind those little tiles. And if you like the pictures, you'll love the poster! After years of photography and months of assembling images, I published a photographic periodic table poster based on my collection:

      Everything about this site is brilliant! I am so grateful that I found this resource...and wish that I could someday purchase a table of his!
