    This article seems to be a good example of the type of design I hope to accomplish. Evan is a fellow University of Wisconsin graduate and has pursued an interesting career in design. His resume/blog was well worth the time it took me to explore and read it.

    Joy, I really appreciate your link to Evan Sveum's blog, especially this week when we're taking a look at how to organize and present an online curriculum. Initially, as I was moving through his opening page review, I was struck by the following item: "Voice Recognition (Dragon NaturallySpeaking). Talk-to- type has been a huge efficiency for me! I very rarely use the keyboard on my computer anymore". I used Dragon software about 8 years ago, and found it to be very unsatisfying to use. However recently, I've been hearing good reports back about it. I'd be curious to know if anyone in the class has been using voice-to-text in their work...

    Module 9 and Portfolio #9 assignment - Spent about 7 hrs. on Saturday creating a slide collage with VUVOX - "This dynamic media creation suite enables everyone to easily turn their photos, videos, text and audio clips into interactive stories." I wanted to have experience with several tech applications before I do my presentation. As usual, I got very engrossed in the creative aspects and spent too much time. However, this project involved many steps - making "snapshots" of some video I took of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Then, converting these to a JPG file. Discovered PICASA for storing my pixs, but since it didn't have audio capacity, searched and found VUVOX. I had great fun (and hrs.) creating my collage, writing a short narrative, then uploading my recorded voice. I'm still not happy with the speed of the slides in relation to the voiceover, but it's close to completion. Not sure what I'm going to do for a presentation but I wanted to have first-hand experience with tools other than VOICETHREAD.

    Helen, this work is amazing! I felt like I was "in" the collage! Many questions came to mind about what was happening at the moment captured in each picture--I'm sure you have some wonderful stories to tell! I think I missed your voice over, but I will try again. It has been so helpful when other students post examples of work done with a tool new to me. Because my "play/exploration time" has been limited this quarter, I haven't found all of the cool things out there, so thanks for bringing this one to my attention!

    Helen, I've never seen a presentation format like VUVOX before. It's really an interesting way to create a slide show - one that allows you to scroll back and forth through the entire experience - in this case, San Juan...

    Another interesting read. I quite understand the need and growing need for the workforce to understand social medias and other forms of Web 2.0 tools and be able to use them well. Reading more about millennials, it is becoming more and more apparent they need to have strong " crap detectors," the ability to think critically and analyze huge volumes of information on the net, just to name a few.
  • Jennifer Dalby on 20 Jan 11
     
    I think this is one of the better collections of 21st century skills. I'm mostly concerned about the ones that don't involve technology. Like many of you, I worry about a future where people don't have basic problem-solving and communication skills. As far as technology skills are concerned, I'd like to see kids learn programming, with a focus on humanity, rather than commerce. I'm surprised how many teachers adopt "free" tools for young students, without having them explore the terms of service, and learn how their data and content will be used, sold, etc..
  • Colleen Dixon on 23 Jan 11
     
    Thanks for this, Mary Ann. As much as I value the technology and what it can offer and do, the interpersonal and social skills seem more and more critical now. Seeing kids standing next to each other texting, or texting rather than calling or meeting makes me wonder if they will develop those skills to the level they are required now.
  • Bruce Wolcott on 23 Jan 11
     
    Mary Ann, thanks for posting this article on the 21st Century classroom! Just based on some of observations of current trends and ideas, here are some of my ideas regarding this. To me it seems likely that whatever happens to the classroom in the 21st Century - ideally it will have some of the following features : 1) Instructors who have good live people connections, knowledge of Web resources and tools, and the ability to quickly readjust curriculum on the fly. They will be able to access the very best resources at hand to engage students (live presenters, online resources, web tools, etc.) 2) Teaching and learning will take the form of ad-hoc groups organizing around various kinds of problem solving or common interest explorations. 3) While traditional degrees probably won't go away soon, much of our ongoing lifetime learning will take place in courses like this one - or the MOMA online art series. We will obtain numerous certificates and engage in a variety of online cohorts/communities of shared interests. 3) Communications will become increasingly global and courses will not be necessarily bound to individual institutions. We will draw from a growing/maturing resource base of online lectures, virtual worlds interactions, simulations-based learning experiences, and multimedia databases. 4) The teaching technologies that we'll be using will have the functionality and freeform interactivity as videogames. Consider the Kinect, for example, which allows for full body and voice interaction with other people as well as maturing forms of artificial intelligence, as seen in this extraordinary TED talk with game developer Peter Molyneux. 5) Finally, I don't believe education will be transacted completely online, or that physical locations where actual human beings gather together will go awa
  • Helen Maynard on 23 Jan 11
     
    Another great read and thanks, Ann. Something this article doesn't address is the growing concern about the "digital divide." Not all segments of our society has equal access to the internet. I recently heard a lecture at NSCC addressing this problem. Many outlining districts in urban areas(and rural areas) do not have the infrastructure to receive Wi-Fi. Students is poor neighborhoods (many who don't have computers at home) must go to their local public library to get internet access. Yes, our public school system needs to incorporate more technology "know-how" into their curriculum and instruction, but equally as important, our society needs to take a closer look at what segments of society are presently at a big disadvantage in terms of equal access to technology, both in and out of school. As technology redefines what it means to be "literate," then we also must address equity and accessibility to resources.
  • Joy LaJeret on 24 Jan 11
     
    Helen, I like your astute comments and observations. The poor in this country may have access to computers in the library and at school, but many of them are homeless and living in cars. Anywhere from 2000-5000 people are homeless in King County and 80% of these people are women with children and suffering from DV incidents. If we go further, I have a friend working in Chimbote, Peru. Most of the people living in the barrios do not even have running water, much less the ability to buy or use computers. I suspect worldwide, you would see extremely large percentages of children without food much less computer access or skills.

    Jennifer & Bruce - I have used Skype for collaboration on projects which require we look at and edit shared documents and simply, have the need to discuss projects for about 60 minutes at a time. For classroom use, you can't see the individual "real time," but you do hear their voice.

    Joy, I especially enjoyed viewing/reading the storytelling and video game references on your learning module. I'm looking to use the story integration in games video clip in my game theory class. I like the video because it fits a lot of information in a short space, and is entertaining - everything is sped up... including the voice!

    I truly enjoyed that man's videos. I think it conveyed the idea that women don't like the trend of depicting woman as sexy babes. I hope to do more on the use of story telling and video games. I though he was spot on saying, first you need a writer and than you can create around it.

    In her important, controversial new book, Sherry Turkle reads our leap into digital technology not as the unfettering of a deep, human urge to connect, but as a dire symptom to be understood within an older framework: psychoanalysis. Whether you find this book's analysis convincing depends on how you read the Rorschach test that is the Internet.
  • ...7 more comments...
  • ann stephens on 18 Jan 11
     
    Based on this Boston Globe book review, I think the slant that Turkle misses is that maybe the internet is redefining, rather than limiting, human development. She uses an example of people instant texting things such as funerals, disallowing deep human, emotional discourse to illustrate how the internet is "not better", but limiting. But maybe this is a reflection of a society where families are often split for a variety of reasons - divorce, geography - and the internet is allowing a connection, rather than isolation. The internet doesn't prevent a deeper discussion.
  • Jennifer Dalby on 18 Jan 11
     
    Ann, from a sociological perspective, I believe the way we handle death and grieving is one of the most important trends to observe with this new media. Death is something we will always have to modify our perception to accommodate, and I think we're only at the beginning of a real cultural shift, and even an assimilation of cultures around how we make meaning around these issues. I'm going to add the Stefana Broadbent TED Talk to our shared bookmarks here. I think you'd like it.
  • Joy LaJeret on 20 Jan 11
     
    I think Sherry Turkle has voiced some of my concerns. I am not convinced that with the internet tools of social media the millennials and others are sharing deeper learning environments and relationships online. I think we need to reexamine these hypothesis as time goes by and they continue to develop.

    Joy, you might like You Are Not a Gadget, by Jaron Lanier http://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Not-Gadget-Manifesto/dp/0307269647 It's his personal observation of where things might be headed. Much of it resonated with me, though I do understand it's only one point of view.
  • ann stephens on 21 Jan 11
     
    The observation how death and grieving is handled evolves and is reflective of society is an interesting observation. One internet tool I have noticed is that an on-line capability is often provided for death announcements. For several people close to me and a couple of celebrities that resonated with me, I would read or contribute to some of these postings and had a broader and more connected sense of the person. I didn't feel so isolated in my grief.

    I read an excerpt of the book and will try to find it in the library or buy it used! I really like what he is writing, Jen.
  • Bruce Wolcott on 21 Jan 11
     
    Since the Web is still less than 20 years old, I think the jury is still out regarding the darker isolating potential of online social behavior. Ann mentions online tools that announce death notices that allow people to publicly tell their stories and express grief over someone who recently died. I had a recent experience with an online service called CaringBridge that is used as a public communications forum for people who are experiencing life threatening illnesses or accidents. It gives well wishers an opportunity to express their support and lets family members communicate the ongoing status of the person who is sick. It provides a kind of forum for sympathetic and loving communications that has never existed before. My recent experience involves a friend I knew in high school who is battling brain cancer, and the debilitating chemo and radiation treatments. CaringBridge lets me join with a large group of other people to send messages of support to him. Recently, with difficulty, he has been able to begin writing posts to CaringBridge describing his day-to-day experiences and progress. Rather than being an alienating or "alone together" experience, I think it has a genuine positive effect on everyone involved, and is a powerful reminder of our own humanity and vulnerability.
  • Jennifer Dalby on 21 Jan 11
     
    Bruce, CaringBridge has been a great support for so many people. I originally discovered the site while I was following the story of Baby Allie http://www.scotthousehold.com/allie.htm whose mom documented her short life battling with AML. A huge community grew around her little life, and I discovered many CaringBridge sites. Jenny went on to start the Heroes for Children foundation, raising more than $3 million for families in TX with children undergoing treatment. My own early blogging experiences were around my own grief and loss http://momrealityblog.blogspot.com/2006/01/it-began-with-tragic-ending.html I had previously been involved in several online parenting communities. They were a huge support to me during that time. We have the potential to do a lot of good online and off. I think we just need to be cognizant of how our messages are amplified, and how we amplify the messages of others.
  • Jennifer Dalby on 21 Jan 11
     
    Joy, I am so sorry for your loss. I think grief is different for everyone, and the internet is a place we can find other people who share similar methods of grieving, so we don't feel so alone. In our own families, it's hard to support each other through periods of loss. I've discovered a lot of online communities, some healthy, and some not, where people feel comfortable expressing their feelings about loss. I think the most important thing I learned online during that time, was "be gentle with yourself."

    I enjoyed Michael Wesch's comparison of Orwell's 1984 versus Huxley's Brave New World. He referenced Neil Postman who said that "Big Brother does not watch us, by his choice. We watch him, by ours. There is no need for wardens or gates or Ministries of Truth ..." Based on the audience's response and Wesch's to his own comments, I had the impression that he believes we're out of the woods regarding these scenarios; that the Web has given us all a voice to talk back to Big Brother, and keep him under a watchful eye. As an example, Weschl points to YouTube as a growing population of contributing users - many of whom address each other as part of a larger community. I think the jury is out for both the Orwell and Huxley scenarios - since our private lives are increasingly more transparent, and the lures of interactive electronic entertainment and other distractions are becoming more compelling.
  • Joy LaJeret on 27 Jan 11
     
    I am not certain "1984" isn't happening with the ability to spy in chat rooms and all online applications by the government. Also, think about the video cameras for controlling traffic at stop lights! Ouch! Anyway, we seldom hear about what Homeland Security is up to. That worries me. Abuse happens and has happened in the past...Watergate, etc...just read WIKI Leaks ( I have not) to get a feeling for what government does behind the scenes, not to even mention torture. The problem with security clearances and top secret info is it usually keeps info from citizens, our enemies already know what we're up to!

    I think a lot of times people are afraid of internet technologies, because they see the data they leave behind. Most people don't think twice about the data they leave every place else. (Grocery club cards, credit and debit cards, library cards.) The Numerati, by Steven Baker, is an interesting book about how our data are tracked and used.

    I am sharing a video I made for the class project. I welcome any critiques or information on how to make this a better video. I do not know if I have addressed all the elements Jen has asked for. I tried to address as many as I could...except those I will learn about in Module 8. This was my first attempt in making a eLearning video on You Tube, with the help of Jing and Screencast. I found a few frustrations along the way; but it was fairly easy to use. I have the following probs: 1.) I could not fit the screen to the screen used in You Tube; 2.) I had problems setting the volume controls on my recording; 3.) I found myself unable to think as fast as the video was going and 4.) the overall quality of the screen when used" full screen" was not as good as I would have liked it to be. Finally, I have never ( well maybe not NEVER) had so darn much fun doing something so darn frustrating at times.

    I just viewed your project video, Joy. It appears that you worked hard, had a great time, and came out with a good product. I agree with the problems you had, though. The screen was difficult to view because it was so small (Youtube screens are tiny) but if I squinted, I could make things out. The sound quality was not there. I could hear your voice but it was a bit "distant". Knowing you and your intelligent approach to problem-solving, I'm sure you will be able to rectify these things. I look forward to viewing the project again if you choose to change anything. You are a trailblazer, Joy!! Thanks for leading the pack!
  • Jennifer Dalby on 06 Mar 11
     
    Marry Ann, there's a little button at the bottom right of youtube videos where you can make it full-screen. Joy, did you use a headset with mic, or are you recording using the mic on the computer/laptop? A headset with mic should make a big difference. If you are using a headset, try moving the mic closer to your mouth.
  • Joy LaJeret on 07 Mar 11
     
    Using a headset doesn't get the kind of result I want. However, I will try to do that the next time around. I have found this to be a problem when I made the elluminate recording, too. I could think you must be a fan Mary Ann! I really don't know what I am doing when I start these projects...they just sort of do themselves. My husband just shakes his head and ignores me. His computer is in our office. It is L shaped and I am on one side and he is on the other on the inside side of the L.That way we can't see each other...it keeps me from being tempted to do things to him, I might not want others to know about ( I am saying this while I untangle my fingers from his neck...at the moment.)

    Thanks for your comments Ann. I still made a mistake when I stated Elluminate was asychronous instead of synchronous...I was not going to do it over again! I keep doing takes for several hours until I liked the tone of my voice and was so tired it had to be a "wrap!" I chose Jing and and have Jing Pro which allows me to seamlessly upload to You Tube and make video. I hope to use this tool in class for short instructive videos per module. The student can reach me by email, Skype, Elluminate or by cell ( whihc I hope to discourage a bit). I want to make certain they feel I am there and connected to them at all times. During our next class meeting on the 22nd, I want to make a camcordering of the class and upload it to jing and make a You Tube video for us to review and enjoy. I hope your willing!
  • Bruce Wolcott on 20 Mar 11
     
    Joy, Your combination of Jing Pro with YouTube worked well for your final assignment. I was surprised how clear the YouTube video is, even in full screen format. Your course framework also seems to be a workable and inviting way to look at aging issues. One bullet point that stands out to me is: "Baby Boomer have gotten a bum rap." We're always compared to the our parent's generation, who weathered the Great Depression and WWII. I believe a lot of positive social change also took place under our watch - it's not all a bad picture!

    Thanks Bruce. The boomers are fighters and leaders! As women,"... we have come a long way baby." There is not anything bad about the picture my friend. Once you start to really read the material and connect with the accomplishments of this group, I bet money you will be very proud!

    This VoiceThread I put together as a presentation regarding some shifts in thinking and accomodations I have made regarding online & tech applications. I thought we might be sharing these, this evening, but nevertheless, it stands alone. Enjoy!

    It was nice to see the preliminary decision process you went through to determine the 'collage' project. Using voicethread to explain was interesting.

    Helen, your Voice Thread was a perfect finish to your final project, even if it did stand alone! I agree with one of your statements to your pre-service teachers about them needing to be on board with all the tech tools they teach to their students in the 21st century. Your "metaphor" was also engaging!
