Big Brother is Watching You! - 2 views

  •  
    I have posted the FBI can hear when cell phone is turned off; Is Your Cell Bugged?; and Big Brother is Watching as food for thought and because of earlier comments. The question is: In an Open Society how many freedoms are we willing to give up to be protected from Terrorist attacks? A thought worth pondering.

    Nothing is private. I actually made a huge mistake last week. I was testing to see if we could import the content of one of our courses from one site to another. The course site is set to private right now, and we've had guest presenters visit the class. The new site was public. I imported the content and it worked so I forgot about it. I got an email from one of the guests upset that I had put his content in a public place without telling him. He was rightfully upset. However, I started thinking about how any of the students could have cut and pasted his content or gotten screenshots of it and put it out there.

    I hear that one loud and clear Jen!

    I had an interesting experience last quarter. I have a History of Animation class that is currently on Vista/Blackboard. What happened was that through an oversight, students weren't charged a use fee for the site, so I couldn't access it for the class. I had to transfer all of the content to a Google Sites location. I was amazed to find out that I could just copy and paste from Blackboard Vista pages directly into my Google site - preserving the links and formatting (!!). It was a life-saver for me.

    That's great! That's one of the reasons I've created the files for our course in HTML. If it ever needs to be put someplace else, it will be an easy transition.

    What kind of folly is this?
  •  
    Well, we know anything we put out there can be copied and passed around. Now we know easily it can be forged.
  •  
    Good Grief! That makes me think twice.

Is Your Cell Phone Bugged? - 2 views

  •  
    Again, I have lived with my phone being bugged. The bottom line is: being informed; not being involved in anything you don't want made public; and know your rights.

    In addition to bugging, we now need to think about geolocation. There are advantages and disadvantages to having a phone with geolocation. For example, it's helpful to traffic studies to be able to access data about people on the road during certain times. Geolocation contributes to accuracy of some gps mapping systems. When I first got my DROID, I had google lattitude turned on. I was going through a divorce and realized I probably didn't need to be stalked like that. (I was also testing foursquare at the time, and deleted that account.) However, I've used google latitude in a good way. If I go out on a date with someone I meed online, I can turn on latitude and my friends can track where I am. (I tell the date!)

    That's a scam :)

    Thanks Jen.. Darn I fell for that one!!

Learning Module 4 Self-Check - 2 views

  •  
    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.

Microsoft "Surface" the Possibilities - 2 views

  •  
    The future of computers are not only surface with multi points of movement but holograms or actually virtual picture of the people talking or instructing. You might want to look at what the futurist are saying and predicting. This is what our students will be working with and then some. Nano tech will make it even better with less.

    It's certainly fascinating! I wonder, though, if some of our habits will be too ingrained for the holograms to be widely accepted. I'm thinking particularly of multi-tasking. If we're used to checking email and facebook and our phone at the same time, are we going to be open to a technology where we have to stop what we're doing and concentrate on one thing?
  •  
    I think it depends on the hologram presentation and how it interacts within the application. I think we will have to wait and see what they do with this in the future. Do to te secrecy involved, we don't have answers yet.
  •  
    It's already here :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAIDXzv_fKA Try a search for telepresence.
  •  
    I am at the EDVP right now and am dying to click on that link. Unfortunately, they do not have the ability to watch videos on their computer. I have to wait until tonight, since the college will not allow us to go on line.
  •  
    So there's another learning moment. As an instructor, what are our expectations about student access to technology? We used to have to be much more selective about the tools we used. We had to assume the lowest tech skills, and connections. It's not that rigid any more. Also, institutions have different guidelines. Have you seen this page? http://bellevuecollege.edu/distance/skills.asp
  •  
    Oh I loved the DV telepresence Immersion Room. What a great way to teach in the future. I think touchable holograms is even better! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3seTlvQtIgc&feature=related

Careers of the future... per Children - 2 views

  •  
    An introduction to careers in the future by today's futurists. Children are an asset and treasure this country cannot afford to leave behind or to be out done by foreign governments. If they work collaboratively, what a wonderful world they could create, inspite of the not so wonderful things that exist in our world.
  •  
    Cute! It's always amazing to listen to a child and hear what they imagine for the future. It will be interesting to see what they make out of some of the things we've messed up!

Bellevue College Student Code - 2 views

  •  
    I thought you might like to review this, based on our topic this past week. I don't think this document gets as much attention as it should. I like that this is posted as a "right" - "Students shall be protected from academic evaluation which is arbitrary, prejudiced or capricious, but are responsible for meeting the standards of academic performance established by each of their instructors."
  •  
    I send students to the Omsbud office quite often when they are in a dispute with grading and their instructor...just thought it was worth mentioning.

catch up for the activity 5.2 - 1 views

    I found this website that can help me to give information about the history and world rules of badminton. It can also help students to get more knowledge of badminton.
  •  
    That's great that you were able to locate an online handbook so your students don't have to purchase a handbook.
