    Very useful tips for instructors and faculty. Organize teaching-related materials by the following 3 elements: Chronology, Categories, and Accessibility. Structure a system to file teaching materials, paper or electronic files.

    This should be very useful for us TAs, even though we have moved towards digitizing our teaching materials.

  • Arguments for Augmentation The researchers and educators in this small, emerging field see clear advantages to using real-world sites as the backdrop for educational games. A major goal of Mentira is to motivate students "to get their heads out of the textbook" by showing them that language has a vibrant local context, Ms. Sykes says. By setting the story in a nearby neighborhood, she and Mr. Holden took advantage of its historic sites and folklore to integrate learning about its history and culture into the game

      Mentria could also be a good model for foreign language teachers or instructors of culture courses.

  • One major advantage of egocentric perspectives is that they enable participants' actional immersion and motivation more strongly than exocentric FORs, which are better suited for dispassionate observer roles.

      Can we say teaching through gaming is proving an egocentric FOR to course content?

      I think teaching through gaming is proving an egocentric FOR to course content.
  • While the content of these games and activities often does not lead to knowledge useful in the real world, rich types of learning and identity formation do take place in these environments, fostering neomillennial learning styles based on characteristics of immersive mediated interaction.

      Therefore, if we are to integrating gaming into the course, the content and activities then will have meanings and can be made useful in the real world.

      I have doubts on this "unfettered" virtual identity, which has been mentioned earlier in this article. If avatars are created in terms of how we defines identities in real world, how come those physical attributes will disappear?

      Is this not proved to be less efficient and result in less successul acedmic performances?
  • These virtual worlds are persistent social and material worlds, loosely structured by open-ended (fantasy) narratives, where players are largely free to do as they please—slay ogres, siege castles, barter goods in town, or shake the fruit out of trees

      While it is easy to confuse virtual life with real life, do we instructors play a role of teaching them to tell their differences as we are blending their real life into the virtual world in teaching? Or is there such a role?

  • But they don’t just write new articles, they also tag pre-existing entries

      Thus this project not only exemplifies "the mob rule" by contrubuting knowledge, but it also embodies the hyperconnectivity by tagging those already exusting articles. This act of tagging instantaneously bring together the students at Indianna-Purdue with those who share the same concern over public art.
  • Chenwen Hong on 29 Mar 10
     
    A Wiki project to digitize public art--Wikipedia Saves Public Art-- was started by Jennifer Geigel Mikulay, an assistant professor at Indiana-Purdue, together with Richard McCoy, an assistant conservator at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. 40 articles are added and another 912 already existing articles tagged.

    This Wiki project is the best example of what Mark Pesce emphasized in his talk: "a project of the mob, for the mob, and by the mob."

  • For some institutions, the biggest roadblock to posting video to Web sites is the worry that the videos can be taken by other people, Mr. Moskowitz said. Because information posted on Wikipedia is free and unlicensed, someone can use a posted video for a profit-making venture. Mr. Moskowitz said the best strategy for protecting your videos is to keep the HD version of a video for your own use and post the standard-definition version to Wikipedia. Institutions could brand videos as well, although other users could crop out the institutional seal or post a new video in its place.

  • The assignment could take on a deeper dimension by using videoconferencing and e-mail to link teams to students living in the countries of origin of the groups being studied. Integrating real-time global experiences into the classroom can provide a new, first-person information source and engender debate about the validity of various sources of information used in conducting research.

      I guess the project, with the Peace Corp., we saw during last Friday's session is the best example of technology engaging students with course materials by iintegrating real-time experiences with classroom studies.
