The 'Curator' - 7 views
Steve, I liked that image of the "Curator" too for teaching. Curation is a greatly undervalued art! Thanks for sharing.

Lurking is Learning (Part 1 of 2) - 6 views

Hi Brainy. Good post on lurking. I "lurk" when I listen to radio, download podcasts, watch TV, and read the newspaper. Works for me. A live session where "presence" and group dynamics is central to the activity is a bit different (if the name of everyone "in the room" is displayed, lurkers are visible to others, even if they say nothing). In live MOOC sessions, most people lurk most of the time. That doesn't mean they are not engaged, they may simply feel that sitting at the back of the room suits them better. Mark McGuire

Hello Brainy Smurf, Guess I've been lurking in #cck12, but I don't see it as much different from face-to-face classrom behaviour. Not everyone comments no matter what the forum--eliciting participation is part of the "dark art" of facilitation, no?

Hi, Sandra, thanks for weighing in. I agree that lurking online is essentially the same as a classroom, it just might not be as obvious since the online facilitator (if there is one) can't see body language or eye contact. The more I play around in moocs (currently in my 3rd, 4th and 5th at the moment), the more the idea of eliciting participation (or 'engaging' participants) is starting to make me cringe. I'm becoming more confident that learning doesn't need to invite engagement as explicitly as we think it does. Participants will decide how much/little to interact for a million different reasons on any given day (e.g., fatigue, boredom, illness, distraction, reflection, synthesizing, doodling) and I think we should let them own those choices.
Taking Notes with Mind Maps - 7 views

Never thought of this when I was in formal schooling. What a great idea to simplify and stay ahead of note taking in class.

I love mind maps I have been making them since I was 13. People called it "doodling" and disregarded it or viewed it as art. I kept some from my youth and when I look back and reflect on them I can see WHY I drew the images and linked them the way I did, they are like a visual diary of what I was going through at the time.
