Fearless Writing (a book by Tom Romano) - 2 views

    This link will take you to the opening chapter of Tom Romano's latest book about multi-genre papers. Romano has been working on this concept for close to two decades. It branches off Gardner's work on multiple intelligences, which Samantha wrote about on the Module 1 discussion board. I believe that we need to rethink what an academic paper "should" look like. Are we teaching an outdated model?

    Rhonda, I started reading Fearless Writing with this link you provided and if I had nothing else to do today I would curl up and just read it. This is a topic that I have been thinking about whie taking these ETAP classes that there needs to be a paradigm shift in letting people just write. As a writer, of sorts at least I have published a book, I write best with editing a thousand times as the writing becomes better targeted. However, one can notice in our online discussions how some students do not write much, or do not write from the soul of self, the creativity with the science and theories to figure out how to remember and apply what we learn. During the years I was writing my book, I discovered that when I played the piano or figured out some 1700 Spanish classical guitar piece..I could write easily. It was like food for the writing. Now days I have that music in my head whenever write like right now there's a tune being built with the pace of tapping the keys. This process is what we need to let flourish when student have their dance of art, music, and other types of deigns in the Mind that form pathways to help us learn.

    Thanks for the comment. I haven't done much with multigenre papers since getting the teacher certification, but I do think it's an area that needs more exploring. Romano focuses mostly on the high school population but I see no reason why these ideas can't be pulled up into an expository writing course. Yes, college students need to know how to do the basic research, citation, and so on, but they also need to know how to CREATE, how to enjoy words for words' sake rather than putting words on the page to fulfill a grading formula. Again, call me a Luddite if you will but I fear that as these web tools grow more sophisticated, we are losing our grip on the simple pleasure of the written word...

    Why today is my last day teaching online…is a blog that we should all read about how and why an instructional designer and teacher is quitting. The people answering his blog are also interesting to read - I will not summarize this because I think it is best to read it as he says it and how they respond.

    The purpose of this study is to provide conceptual order and a tool for the use of computer-mediated communication (CMC) and computer conferencing in supporting an educational experience. Central to the study introduced here is a model of community inquiry that constitutes three elements essential to an educational transaction-cognitive presence, social presence, and teaching presence. Indicators (key words/phrases) for each of the three elements emerged from the analysis of computer-conferencing transcripts. The indicators described represent a template or tool for researchers to analyze written transcripts, as well as a guide to educators for the optimal use of computer conferencing as a medium to facilitate an educational transaction. This research would suggest that computer conferencing has considerable potential to create a community of inquiry for educational purposes

Faculty Development for Online Teaching as a Catalyst for Change | The Sloan Consortium - 0 views

shared by lkryder on 11 Jun 14 - No Cached
  • This action research study explored the change in face-to-face teaching practices as a result of faculty professional development for online teaching. Faculty’s initial teaching model is typically born from that of their own teachers, and they teach as they were taught. However, few have any online experience as a student or a teacher. Learning to teach online may be a catalyst for faculty to reflect on and evaluate their current teaching practices.
  • The results of the study indicated that learning to teach online has the potential to transform faculty’s assumptions and beliefs about teaching, changing their face-to-face teaching practices.

    A good discussion of how faculty learn to teach, how training to teach online improves their classroom practice, and the use of adult learning strategies

  • Searching or "Googling" - Search engines are now key elements of students' research. At its simplest the student is just entering a key word or phrase into the basic entry pane of the search engine. This skill does not refine the search beyond the key word or term.
  • Social bookmarking – this is an online version of local bookmarking or favorites, It is more advanced because you can draw on others' bookmarks and tags. While higher order thinking skills like collaborating and sharing, can and do make use of these skills, this is its simplest form - a simple list of sites saved to an online format rather than locally to the machine.

  • Playing – The increasing emergence of games as a mode of education leads to the inclusion of this term in the list. Students who successfully play or operate a game are showing understanding of process and task and application of skills.

  • Tagging – This is organising, structuring and attributing online data, meta-tagging web pages etc. Students need to be able understand and analyse the content of the pages to be able to tag it.
  • Blog/vlog commenting and reflecting – Constructive criticism and reflective practice are often facilitated by the use of blogs and video blogs. Students commenting and replying to postings have to evaluate the material in context and reply.

      Interesting that responding to someone else's blog is more of a higher level thinking skill than writing one.
  • Moderating – This is high level evaluation; the moderator must be able to evaluate a posting or comment from a variety of perspectives, assessing its worth, value and appropriateness.
  • Students frequently capture, create, mix and remix content to produce unique products.
