CP2 PhD

Interesting blog entry. Great graphic.

"A system that values obedience over curiosity isn't education and it definitely isn't science."

Interesting... as if more information is going to change teacher behavior in their classroom.

Research Report: Measuring What Matters Most: Choice-Based Assessments for the Digital Age.

David Knowles sent me this link today. This is what we've been saying all along, so most of it is preaching to the choir. The key piece I see in it is that his list of critical technology includes an LMS! Here's the quote: Device-agnostic technology that provides access to the Internet and appropriate Learning Management Systems, coupled with a committed teacher, is often all that is needed to help students become powerful consumers and producers of knowledge.

This links goes to the Methods section, but there are phrases for all sections of a proposal/thesis/dissertation.

Etienne and Bev's site

Interesting website -- details seem elusive, though. This particular page mentions an author "Chris Dede" who I think is the same author Brenda sent me an article by that she found very useful.

The long awaited book where social anthropologist Jean Lave shares her research study from Liberia, of tailor boy apprenticeship (where they learn not from their master directly, but from being inlcuded in everyday chores and observing their peer apprentices, a litte more advanced than themselves). JeanLve spent considerable time on location doing this study. In 2000 she was a guest teacher at the University of Copenhagen where I had the pleasure to follow a dozen lectures. With my study companion's courage, we were allowed to have a one hour long conversation with Jean Lave, planned as an interview but never published, to my regret. The book can be purchased as an e-book for 30 days, at the reasonable price of $6, or full price $27 (same as in print).

"Write every day" is fabulous advice. But, how do you actually do it? That was my question for a long time before I finally convinced myself to give it a try.

Disney, Militarization and the National Security State After 9/11 Tuesday 23 August 2011 by: Henry A. Giroux and Grace Pollock, Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc. | Book Excerpt

Blackboard's rebranded Elluminate

Interesting!

Cristina Cost shared this chapter of the book: Academics as Public Intellectuals: Rethinking Classroom Politics.

Wow, Amazon has it for under $1.00!

It was Giroux's chapter that the link went to. He was a little hard to read, but I'm hoping one day I'll be able to read it. $1.00 is a BARGAIN!!

Just thought this was interesting to share.

Not sure what she meant at the end about "there is no escape" once you begin teaching and learning online?? But agree with the main point about how teaching and learning is tied to economics (resources) and purpose. And, Barb, thanks because I became a member in the Higher Ed Guardian.

Excellent blog post about how to deal with comments for articles submitted to peer reviewed journals. Tucking this away for the day when we start writing these things.

A book for writing proposals recommended by a friend of mine who has finished his PhD.

The Doctoral Colloquium is a forum in which Ph.D. students meet and discuss their work with each other and a panel of experienced CSCW researchers and practitioners.

Now this looks very interesting and I have always wanted to go to Seattle!
