    " Home About Contact info e-portfolio Extracurricular Philosophy Resume Discovering "Community" Media in Archive.org Archive.org, or the Internet Archive, has functioned as a digital library of all media types on the Internet since 1996. Available material has been free to the public, with some exceptions, since its start and it has served as a library for Open Educational Resources way before the term "OER" ever existed. The archive also existed before Creative Commons but began to gain in popularity as the Creative Commons licenses were first released in 2002. Because of the interest in using OERs and the stipulations of a Creative Commons license, the Archive has organized its content by containing Creative Commons licensed material all in one place."

      I will show you how. I did one but it disappeared.
  • Another way to open to the channels communication is if we email another student once a week to see how they are doing.

Technology and Education Online Discussion Forums: It's in the Response - 0 views

  • participation in online discussion forums provides opportunities for responsibility and active learning through the expectation of regular participation in online discussions.
  • hey construct knowledge through the shared experiences that each participant brings to the collaborative discussions. The online web courses about teaching offer deeper perspectives and opportunities to learn because the participants are teachers from school districts around the state and other states.
  • This particular use of the discussion forum, to negotiate and construct knowledge, is an example of using the technology as a cognitive tool and not simply as another kind of blackboard or one-way communication method. Cognitive tools and environments stimulate cognitive learning strategies and critical thinking (Jonassen, 1998). Students engaged with course content in discussions and group work with other students engage in generative processing of information.

  • his involves the processes of reflection and the construction and re-construction of domains of knowledge. The resulting kinds of learning from these processes are not a regurgitation of a lecture or reading. It is a negotiated interpretation of knowledge
  • The discussion forum environment evens the playing field of opportunity and accessibility.
  • The discussion forum makes active participation by all students the price of citizenship within this learning community.

      What do you think about this? I found this an interesting way of putting it.

      Cool!
  • Students quickly discover that their peers are also holders of knowledge and they initiate discussions and respond to one another's postings
  • It is possible to feel invisible in an online discussion forum if no one responds to an individual's postings. Part of a course design should include a requirement that students respond to at least 3 or more students each week and at least 1 of those should be a student not previously responded to. This helps distribute the responses. Responses are a hook to student motivation to participate above and beyond grades.
  • They recommended that, "Instructors can encourage and model this behavior from the beginning of a course, thereby creating a safe learning environment of acceptance and trust. Activities that enhance sharing and cooperation can further develop openness and solidarity within groups." (McDonald & Gibson, 1998, p.21)
  • Web environments can make use of interactive components and educators should design and look for activities that are problem oriented, interactive, and engage students in an application of knowledge, principles, and values (Hazari & Schnorr, 1999).
  • he stage for disagreement within the discussion forum is also a motivation and invitation for students to become more engaged in the discussions.
  • instructors should have the syllabus developed and the course up and online before the first day of class
  • Instructors need to be a "presence" in the virtual conference center as they monitor the discussions and provide continuous guidance to students to focus on the course goals by utilizing a technique called "weaving". This is a skill that involves using a part of a student comment in a posting and re-directing it to the main topic without an explicit negative value judgment. Instructors in a discussion forum will set and maintain the type of language and tone used in the virtual conference center. It is harder to interpret the tone and therefore the meaning of a message without visual clues or the sound of a voice. Instructors fulfill a role like that of a list moderator as they support and give students guidance in communicating successfully within the environment.
  • Feedback has long been recognized as critical to the learning process and timely feedback is potent.
  • Feedback needs to be specific, personal, and within 24 hours of the posting.

      I think the syllabus should be sent out at least a week before the class starts. What do you think?

      I find my self doing this. I am always corious what my classmates have to add to what I have posted.
  • The need for affection is also present in a virtual discussion forum. This need is characterized by trust, self-disclosure and willingness to reveal experiences, thoughts and interpretations.
  • challenging deeply held beliefs
  • These "getting-to-know-you" scenarios are as important as course content in reaching the goal of a collaborative community of learners. The instructor needs to be sensitive to this need and find a balance within the discourse.
  • If they are left dangling for days on end, they lose a feeling of connection and begin to feel lost in Cyberspace.

  • THINK ABOUT IT Scenario     Thinking Style       Planning a "Road Trip"   Linear Thinkers will plan out every detail of the trip                                   (i.e. location of gas stations, roads to travel, items to bring, etc.). Global Thinkers will get in the car and drive.         Assembling Furniture, Toys or Electronics   Linear Thinkers will lay out all the parts (neatly), and read the instructions                           carefully before starting the assembly. Global Thinkers will look at a picture of the assembled product, and then try to                           put it together like a jigsaw puzzle                                     (i.e. "this piece looks like it fits here, this piece goes over here...").

      I startedd laughing when I read this, linear thinkers will plan out every detail of the trip. This is so me I write list for everything and check them off, I happen to be planning a birthday party tonight for family and I have started checking off the list for todays activities, I started the list days ago in preparation for today. I guess I am linear. What are you?
  • So, you should also try to recognize the learning and thinking style of the people you speak (or write) to.  Essentially, you need to hit the hot buttons of the people you communicate with (e.g. provide details to a linear thinker or describe the big picture to a global thinker).

  • If students like you, you are probably using immediacy behaviors, as immediacy in part determines power and liking (affect) of students for their teachers.
  • Teacher immediacy correlates with affective learning outcomes (attitudes, beliefs and values toward learning) and (slightly) with cognitive learning outcomes (recognition, recall, understanding content).

  • Richmond’s (2002) advice is to “dress formally for a week or two until credibility is established. Then dress more casually to project the image that one is open to student-teacher interaction” (p. 71).
