Fascinating example of using whiteboard graphics to animate or illustrate main points of a short lecture. How is this strategy MORE effective than other graphic strategies?
Cathy, this video is fascinating both for its content and its technique. Is this instructor such a great artist, or does he collaborate with an artist, sound editor, etc. to produce these videos? The topic reminded me of conversations I've had with friends who live in Spain. They tell me Americans are always too busy and that in Spain if you are late for an appointment no one criticizes you. They assume you had an important visit with someone along the way.
Regarding content: Yes, interesting thoughts on the implications of culture! As an instructional designer, I begin to consider how one might design instruction for various cultural groups (In fact, that is covered in the non-COMET version of 572.)
Regarding graphics: I don't know if the narrator and artist are one person. For more on the concept of instructive doodles, look for the book "The Back of the Napkin". The premise is that anyone can develop enough skill to illustrate ideas!
This is the exact thing I need for just that reason, Lori. I got into a "debate" over this at work last week. I am SO forwarding this one to the Director of IT ;)
Ive heard of teachers using facebook as a way to teach students how to write biographies. They start by choosing a historical figure then creating a facebook page as if they were that figure. Then they use that as an outline for their writing. cool.
It's a GREAT example! I really like the "smile-o-meter" function .. Kind of a behavior modification feature. Now, if we could find a cognitive and constructivist example as great as this one!
A discussion of appropriate use AND NON USE of technology in the art and craft of teaching in higher education.
Good discussion starter for instructional design and tech integration.
Examples of when technology (ie. tools, gadgets and trends) did not result in "better" learning. A reminder that we DESIGN instruction intentionally - not according to the latest fad.
