  • Multnomah County Library turns to 'collaborative learning' to lure teens in, keep them engaged
  • Coi Vu and her team at the library are hoping that a new focus on mentor-based programs that immerse teens in specific topics will keep them coming back for more.
  • It’s known as “connected learning,” and it’s the guiding principal behind the Multnomah County Library’s latest teen engagement effort.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • The new approach might include a four-week course in videogame creation or an in-depth animation program. That contrasts with the library’s historical approach to teen programming, which relied heavily on one-time events that lasted a couple of hours at best.
  • Multnomah County’s not the only one to jump on the connected learning bandwagon. In Chicago and San Francisco, for example, libraries have learning spaces dedicated to fostering collaboration, creativity and learning among teens.
  • sound clash
  • “It gets them comfortable with being at the library, which is essential,” Vu said.
  • low-income families
  • programs are free.

    Abstract This case study outlines the Project Management challenges and how a well-defined risk management approach would address those challenges. It explains the importance of anticipating future risks while avoiding any unexpected shortcomings to make your eLearning project a great success. Managing risk involves identifying project risks, evaluating them and minimising their impact on the project. Having delivered hundreds of eLearning projects, at Swift, we understand what goes into eLearning Project Management!

Webmaker Training: Teach the Web | Building | Concepts - 0 views

  • Building on the Web
  • Open Educational Resources (OER)
  • The Web is a massive, shifting repository of human knowledge. We should empower learners to engage this ecosystem and make the Web they want to use. Mozilla developed the Web Literacy Map to help you do just that.

  • The Design Process
  • authentic assessments
  • experiential learning
  • In "Design Challenges" learners select a problem, conduct research with users, prototype a solution, give and receive feedback, and iterate to produce a final project.
  • Feedback is the glue of the Web
  • Constructive Criticism
  • Feedback is the basis for open source culture
  • Giving constructive criticism (and receiving it) is something that takes practice. We adhere to “if you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all” because we don't believe that our opinions are necessary. We forget that criticism doesn't have to lead to complete redesign or reformulation.
  • delivering feedback
  • We also tend to spend time focusing on our own things, rather than looking at other people's ideas and thinking about making them better.
  • We ask for feedback and expect to get some, but we rarely give our feedback freely – we wait until our specific feedback is requested or until the work directly affects our own. We all know how fantastic it is to get good, constructive feedback on something we're working on. What if we all took more time to give feedback like that to others? What would happen?
  • the Web is, by its nature, collaborative
  • the power of the open Web comes from our ability to share. In the learning experiences we design, when we create spaces to share our work with each other, we model the way the Web works. These complex social spaces encourage freedom of expression and honesty.
  • Collaboration builds empathy

Creating Value Together - 0 views

  •  
    Paradigms for the collaborative creation of value through trade and exchange have developed over millennia. Thus, coins emerged in response to a set of challenges in barter and gift exchange. The development of paradigms for trade and exchange continues today, and is accelerating due both to crises in the mainstream global economy, and to new possibilities enabled by information technology

Emphasis on the 'Experience' of Connected Learning - 0 views

  •  
    Here at "The Digital Arts Experience" we have a huge focus on connected learning in a non-competitive, hands-on, collaborative environment. I'd like to share with you a blog entry that our audio engineer, Emily, wrote up about the Connected Learning 'Experience' that students will have on a typical day at our learning facility. I welcome comments/feedback!

Doc Horse Tales: Why write? Because you love to. - 0 views

  • Because you love to.

      We write more now -- on paper and digitally -- because we can. 
  • Humans “write” because it is our distinctive character
    • Sheri Edwards
       
      How old is our writing?
    • Terry Elliott
       
      5000 years?
  • “writing,” consider expanding the field of composition.

      I'm thinking of shared purpose here in connected learning - working in teams to create, revise, and share in  collaboration that ripples onward to others to remix. Is this notion of, "what will someone else do with this" an incentive to quantity? quality? community?
  • Let writing go to edge of consciousness. 
    • Sheri Edwards
       
      The edge - this could take time though, with writers struggling to think they can write. But finding the one gem in the work is important to build the confidence needed to become so is important.
  • write until we find this for ourselves, how can we expect it in our classroom?
    • Sheri Edwards
       
      As Terry Elliot says: https://vine.co/v/hbu6EJ3Vbe5
  • enthusiasm motivates
    • Sheri Edwards
       
      At least, do this for the kids. Those students who love to write may teach the teacher. :)
  • Can’t find time?  No easy solution here, but try buying yourself out
    • Sheri Edwards
       
      I laughed. I do this. Someone else takes care of the yard. :) Now I love gardening, but don't garden. My garden is of words blossoming into ideas and images and inspiration.

Beyond Rigor - Hybrid Pedagogy - 0 views

  • What is rigorous, then, is not process but our curious examination of the (unforeseen, unexpected) results and their effectiveness.
  • Engaged: Meaningful work
  • Better that we model our passion to know something thoroughly than to merely transmit content or knowledge.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • Curious: A rigorous curiosity underpins the most fruitful work scholars do.
  • Dynamic
  • a series of iterative experiments.
  • a resolution to the inquiry
  • Derivative
  • attentive and alive, responsive
  • Critical: We can’t be afraid to critique our own circumstances, our own context.
  • Cormier suggests rhizomatic education — constructing and negotiating community knowledge through a series of interdependent nodes — as a pedagogical solution within quickly changing fields of information. In other words, by connecting to each other, no matter our expertise or station, knowledge grows.
  • We may provide the content, but this is no different today than scattering LEGOs on a table: what happens next is not up to us
  • from a traditional model of schooling to one more compatible with the realities of the digital landscape. Experimentation, inquiry, and play are both the research tools we must use to create online and hybrid classrooms, and also the methodologies best employed within those classrooms.
  • Testing and canonical content are less vital to the new media landscape than interactivity, play, and relevant application.
  • that students “show up,” be curious, collaborate, and contribute.
  • The digital has reminded us that learning happens unexpectedly, and so should our approach to learning be unexpectant. We must return play to education, to pedagogy, and to all scholarly practice.
  • Field Notes for 21st Century Literacies: This book was produced by graduate students in a course with Cathy N. Davidson. The text of the work is itself rigorous, but what we find most intensely rigorous is the way the reader is brought into the book’s ongoing creation through simultaneous publishing on communal platforms like Rap Genius, HASTAC, GitHub, and Google Docs.
