    A content analysis of 100 academic blogs that looks at reasons academics give for blogging and the connection it may have to community of practice.
  • nickurban on 03 Jul 15
     
    I really enjoyed reading this article as it provided further insight into the "why" teachers and higher ed professionals should engage in blogging. Three main ideas really jumped out to me and solidified the validity of blogging: "blogs are a way to expand and disseminate knowledge, make contact with potential collaborators, and have scholarly discussions on a global scale". By engaging in these blogs we enter into a CoP that promotes these virtues by nature as all those involved in the CoP have similar motivations and goals. The communities then function as an opportunity to collaborate on materials, subject matter, and other issues pertinent to the educators. One aspect that is noted is that blogs provide a specific function, thus different blogs will contain different topics, subject matter, and ideas that can be shared online.

    When I used to blog, I realized it was a passive-aggressive way for me to complain about my District. So, I stopped. However, I have found other academic blogs useful. One of my classmates in the EdD program blogs daily, and she is a great source of information. Blogs are also good starting points for research. Reading them often broadens my perspective which in turn helps me in my search for sources.

#EdTechSN MOOCs Lifelong Learning Professional Development

  • timrstark on 04 Sep 15
     
    This article on MOOCs brought some interesting things to the forefront. When these courses were new they were touted as having the potential to change the world. In the years since though their hype has gone down. Most people participating have already earned college degrees. On encouraging pattern however is that teachers are often participating in the courses. This could potentially bring big positive changes to teacher professional development.

#EdTechSN Education 3.0 brain based learning Patterns of Learning

shared by timrstark on 04 Sep 15 - No Cached
  • timrstark on 04 Sep 15
     
    This Wired article was about how Education 3.0 can be most effectively leveraged if educators have a good understanding on how the brain learns. Keeping in mind what learners care about, giving them the ability to place their learning in context, and allowing students to identify patterns of knowledge (think making connections in neural pathways) all can expand upon the the experience of learners in a course.

    In this article Wegner continues to expand upon CoP's by defining their role in organizations and highlighting the success of organizations in using CoP's in coordination with social learning systems. Through this process organizations are able to meet a greater variety of needs for their employees. Wegner highlights how this process is the antithesis of normal "management styles" which is usually a top-down format. However, by working and associating in a variety of learning systems throughout regions or areas, people are more knowledgeable within their field.

    The authors propose seven principles that they believe will allow communities to be "alive" and connect with members.
  • loganwillits on 04 Jul 15
     
    The seven principles for designing, implementing, and evolving a community of practice is the focus of this article. It does a very good job of describing these activities in terms of promoting a growth model within the community and the members. This desire to attract and connect with more and more people will only serve to grow the communities knowledge and abilities (this is somewhat mentioned in principle #2) by opening the conversations among those who are in and outside of the community.

    I love this idea, I have not played around with Twitter chats too much. But I think they are an excellent idea and great ideas to add an element of fun and interaction.
  • anonymous on 02 Jul 15
     
    I've tried Twitter chats before. However, the free flow of ideas and different response rates make it hard to follow and respond to. I think I'd do better in a moderated, specific Twitter chat

    This site gives a quick overview of the key points of connectivism. A great resource if you are looking to refresh on the theory.

    Great reference site. Could probably be used as a primer when getting into connectivism for the first time - use it as a cheat-sheet when reading an article with more density.

    Simply put this is the connectivism home page. It goes into descriptive measures of such a concept and talks about what learning is.

  • Rob Johnson on 04 Jul 15
     
    This paper compares four different resources on community of practice. The paper breaks down the different versions of communities of practice by looking at multiple topics: concept of community, view of learning, power and conflict, change, formality, diversity, and level. This is a great resource to learn about different views on communities of practice.

    Hi Logan, great find on this little video! It's a clever way to illustrate these concepts. It's nice to see something creative being used instead of just an article in a journal or a blog post!
