Good point Ann. Looking where the money stops often tells the whole story. As Pol Sci major you can guess what I think of politicians handling anything to do with non--profit education or public to...

Jennifer Dalby on 08 Feb 11This is from last year, but it's got some important considerations in it. You've got to watch it until the end to get the full message, though.

ann stephens on 09 Feb 11The observation in this video is quite powerful. We have always been motivated by incentives, but the internet and technology has taken this to a new level. Small incentives can become big ones. We've always behaved this way - like coupons for food - a few cents makes a different buying decision. However, his discussion on how egames have become a major financial source for Facebook and the virtual world is replacing the "authentic" world shows how technology is transformational. The point - about how everything we do is being recorded and kept - and will this change how we behave is true.

OMG...how totally eerie. How predictive! Amazing, thanks for sharing that Bruce.

The "cultural rachet effect" was particularly interesting to me. (For grown-ups, learning a new skill is painful, attention-demanding, and slow. Children learn unconsciously and effortlessly. Because of this, each new generation rapidly acquires all the accumulated innovations of the past without even knowing it. ) It becomes the new "normal", so rather than the computer, for example, being something new, its integrated as part of lives. It changes our footprint in the world and, therefore, the world.
How To Become A Certified Virtual Classroom Teacher - 1 views

I'll withhold judgment on this. What do you think?

I have one thought about this. California has been ahead of WA when it comes to turning out online teacher/instructors for community colleges. I could get the training I am now, at the U of CA (not certain which one) and at U of Utah; but this program on BC is new.

What Constitutes an Open-Book Exam in the Digital Age? - 6 views

Jenkins is an important player in this online learning stuff. This piece brings up some important considerations. We will be talking about assessment next week, but I wanted to toss this to you now, to get your gears spinning.
-
I cannot understand why he is so worried about open book testing of indivduals; rather than thinking about how to set up a test that would allow all contributors to weigh in and answer. What is the point of the process of collabrative learning then? Or am I just naive?
-
One response to this article was the practical - give the questions before the exam and the students can do whatever they want prior to the test, but when the test is actually given, make it closed book. This emphasizes information retnetion more than information retreival, which seems to be his concern. That being said - whether a test or not - his points are interesting and requires a great deal of thinking through. Allowing collaboration, for example as Joy profers, during a short course time brings up the issue of bandwidth and accessibility, so a teacher needs to spend time on logistics.

I liked that the platform is integrated in social networks that many students would be using. Also, Ruby on Rails - the underlying technology indicated in the article - is very powerful, but it is an open source product and would want to be sure about technology support works. That being said, this highlighted to me how complex and difficult chosing a LMS is.
-
They release the code open source, but this is a hosted, supported product with fees for service. I'm definitely going to spend more time checking it out.

MOOCs - 1 views

As an optional resource, a youtube introduction to MOOCs ((Massive, Open Online Courses) is given. As I understand it, MOOCs the "term" basically describing a collaborative "blog" on a topic. The concept is that courses can be offered with everyone who wants to to participate and/or take the course. The above link, I think is a good example of a MOOC and it is on eLearning. Similiar to EDU251 there is content proferred, as well as ways to comments and connect to other relavent websites. You can explore the site, but liked the definition of elearning: Elearning is the use of any type of technology in improving learning. At it's most basic level, it is email...at it's most advanced, it is an online course (or simulation, or virtual reality, or...well, you get the point)

Oh darn, I have to go to work. I will look at this one too.

Just a short survey from Mary Ann for Learning Module 4.

I liked the question about what you learned this week. I reflected on what I had learned (for me, the main one was the Wiggins model). I am already focusing on this week's activities and thinking about this question allowed me to be more integrated with the learning process.

That is funny. We used the same form Mary Ann.

What's funny, is that when this video was put online, it was passed around and most people didn't know it was an older video. Once we became aware of that, everyone wanted to know what she's up to now. She started getting a lot of speaking gigs, so you can find more of her presentations online now.

Your welcome Mary Ann. I did see several videos with her newest info on you tube. I did include one link above.

Knowledge Versus Understanding - 1 views

"When students understand, they become able to apply the concepts learned beyond the original context of the classroom. The student's capability and capacity to see underlying patterns is enabled, which allows the student to recognize the same patterns in other arenas."

Got it and probably had it all along.

In fact, this is exactly the type of learning the doctoral program was guiding me toward as a professor. However, it was not brought out this way and was grasped subconsciously. I could not participate in Teaching Assistantships during those years.

A Virtual World Video - 5 views

Just click and play. If you want to know what kinds of skills your students need and will be using in just 5 years from now, it may be important to follow futurists and developing technology...for instance, holograms and touchable holograms which will certainly benefit medical students. I had the experience of a robotic operation using the De Vinci robot. Only a handful of doctors were able to operate this way. Mine was a prof at UW, a respected researcher with Fred Hutch and a practicing surgeon with Swedish. Swedish was, at the time, the only hospital with that capability. He sat at a computer...several feet away and operated by looking at the computer.

P.S. It was major sugery and I was sent home the next day. I was back to work in less that two weekends and one work week!
Example of Elluminate Guest Presenter - 1 views

In our virtual office hours last night, we talked about what it's like having a guest presenter in an Elluminate session. This is just an example of one who visited our Health IT class. Only 1 student showed, so it's a bit awkward.

I was happy to join a session in Elluminate that Jennifer hosted. It was truly an interesting exerience. Her guests were well versed on the subject matter and it was a bit too short at about an hour.

Jennifer, Sorry I'm running late on this, but I do have a link for your Google Reader list at: http://web2chronicle.wordpress.com/ This should bring up my most current post. Thanks... : )

I loved your site and the things you wrote. I can see your expertise. I write;but I have a totally different style. I want to take your course; but first I want to know if I will be able to take a story, see the one I wrote in my blog, and make it a video. I think story telling is a valuable teaching aid. I taught 3-12 graders religion in moral and ethic classes at a local catholic school, after hours for some 15 years. The textbook manual and other references pretty much laid everything out...including teaching aids. Today, technology has transformed what I have learned in the pass.
