      Common Question I: Aligned Connectivism Principles Please discuss three most important strategies of ONLE/PLE in your unit, identify what aligned Connectivism principle(s) are, and discuss the assessments you integrate. Remember ONLE/PLE strategies are not your contents or "technologies," such as wiki, blog etc. It is the integrated soft technologies. If you don't remember Connectivism principles, please review our Lesson 1 readings. Hint: be sure to include four components of technology integrations: Content; Technology; Instructional Strategies; Assessment. This strategy should go beyond Constructivist instructional strategy and focus on ONLE/PLE/Connectivism design.

      The three focused strategies of ONLE/PLE in my unit are social networking like Facebook, multimedia use including YouTube video sharing, and direct user generated strategies and user generated integrations involving the creation of accounts with iGoogle and Twitter. Using multimedia tools provides an unique approach to keep the learners engaged and active while improving interpersonal skills. Social networking provides multiple benefits specifically a learner-to-learner interaction promoting social communication engagement. UGC strategies connects the unit by providing the ability to utilize technology methods on a personalized approach to make the content of the unit even more helpful. The approach of the unit provides an introductory approach to various ONLE aspects and provides the creation of a personalized NLE by the end of the unit.

      Common Question II: UGC Instructional Designs Do you have instructional UGC design in your unit? If yes, why? If no, why not? If you do, be sure to include the discussions covering four components of integrations (technology, instructional strategy, and assessment). Be sure to use Connectivism theory to justify your arguments.
    • esthermitchellnau
       
      With my unit, I integrated various UCG instructional strategies including discussion boards, wikis, and other social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook. Students using my unit learn with content between other peer interaction as well as lesson instruction. This unit and accompanying lessons is to help them learn and navigate by using the technologies for themselves. This unit is more of an introductory course and would definitely lead to further courses for more advance integration exploration.
    • Amy Matteson
       
      Do you think that most teachers who would use this course are really ready for the intensity of the many applications you are asking them to explore here? (I am just remembering the overwhelming feeling of setting up all those new accounts for ETC677, and that was for a graduate level class, not just a staff development.)
    • esthermitchellnau
       
      I think some are ready to proceed with the technology however of course there will be some hesitant for various reasons. But the target audience is in my opinion capable to learning these applications. Although I could be too overwhelmed with the applications and approach the lessons or with the 677 course for that matter - I knew what I was getting into and being able to learn at my own pace, be able to utilze tutorials, and have an open invitation to ask questions helps. Just because something is hard or difficult doesn't mean its avoidable. Technology integration is necessary in the classroom and the the audience targeted in this lesson would be wanting to learn best approaches, strategies, and tools.

    Overall I think this is a great unit for adults. However, some pages did not work for me. I like the fact that it was basic and right to the point so that professional learners could learn and didn't have to "dilly-dattle" if you will, with fluff to get to the important content of what they are there to learn.

      Textual layout wasn't what I had expected. "Unit Content Outline" section basically contains the course/unit (or syllabus). Font styles, sizes, and colors are different in places and were rather distracting. On one screen a sentence or two are unreadable (whited out). At first I thought it was done for emphasis but that didn't pan out. I noticed some grammatical and spelling errors. Overall, the unit is very comprehensive with both NLE technologies and instructional strategies to teach necessary concepts. I liked that a substitute lesson plan (an online crossword puzzle) was included.

      Participants are intended to take this 'course' as new teachers, but the resources and connections they use / make here will continue to be available to them well beyond the time frame of the class. While the initial learnings are individual things, the smartboard units and server resources are more collaborative and will be the meat of what participants continue to use. The shared server is a host of these learnings and will contiune to be a space for sharing. Participants will add their own materials and be able to access those of others to increase their own resources.

    • Amy Matteson
       
      Participants are required to show that they have integrated the technologies into their dailey practice not only for the scope of the course, but also throughout the year via principal observations. Participants are not learning to assess technology use or gaining much in the way of new instructional strategies here, becuase that it not the objective of the course. This course is to help them navigate the initial USE of the technologies for themselves. Integration and assessment would be the next course in the series.

    Excellent unit to introduce new teachers to technologies. I thought lesson 4 integration of cooperative was a good strategy for reviewing web 2.0 tools. Addition of personal reflections are beneficial, do you think you could have used peer evaluations anywhere in the unit?

      Great choice to use Wordle within your unit. I was not able to access the sample Wordle but I think this is a great integration for sixth grade students to use. The ability to create a Wordle is an effective visual strategy which is effective with learners of all ages.

      Dan, I like this activity. Only I would say it is more active because you have them "create" stacks. Good lesson.
    • Dan Ciernia
       
      Monica, the creation of stacks is an activity to get the learners use to working with stacks as they have not done so before. I agree that this activity would make this "active" in nature. I could change this to having the learners look at pre-created stacks by others to gain understanding of stacks.
    • Barbara Miroballi
       
      Dan, Will the learners post their stacks in a site to be shared?
    • johnacedo
       
      I think sharing the stacks would make this a stronger component. Great suggestion1

      Question I: ONLE Please justify why your unit integrating ONLE, not just distributed learning (DL) or online learning environments (OLE). Be sure to distinguish ONLE from DL and ONLE. Provide the examples from your unit to justify your responses.
    • Max Atwell
       
      My unit goes beyond being a DL activity and meets the standard of being an ONLE because of the incorporation of various PLE and ONLE instructional strategies. Upon completion of this unit participants will have developed and used a PLE as a hub for all lesson activities. Through this unit participants will have experienced an ONLE primarily through the following instructional stratagies: Linkage Design: Students create linkage to their PLE through Twitter and Diigo in modules 2 and 3. Participatory Web: Participants engage in collaboratively working on developing a Wiki in module 3. Social Tagging: Diigo and Delicious Bookmarking are introduced in module 2 and are again employed in module 3. Cloud Computing: Participants use Google Docs in Module 3 to present their Unit proposal and are encouraged to include cloud computing in their product. User Generated Content: Participants will develop a unit that they can use in their own teaching in module 3.
    • Chih-Hsiung Tu
       
      Question II: Social Tagging Architecture Please discuss what you social tagging architecture is. How do you design and develop it.
    • Max Atwell
       
      The social tagging architecture employed in this unit is a fairly simple one but one I believe can evolve somewhat throughout the course of implementing the unit. The concept of a social tagging architecture is introduced in Module 1. In this module participants are introduced to the one required tag in the unit and that tag is "PCCHRP." This tag is again used in module 2 with Twitter, Diigo and Delicious where there are links and widgets for participants to test their use of the PCCHRP tag. Lastly a common tagging architecture is required as a component in units that are to be created in module 3.
    • Chih-Hsiung Tu
       
      Question III: Evaluations Discuss how do you know your integrated ONLE instructional strategies effective? Remember assessing content is different from assessing instructional strategies. Your assessment must be capable to assess content, delivery technology, and instructional strategies.
    • Max Atwell
       
      Throughout the process of developing this unit I have struggled with how the assessment piece would work. The reason for this is the group for whom I developed the unit. As the unit has been developed for peer instructors whom I have worked with for year and hope to work with for many more years, I am a bit hesitant to employ tools such as rubrics or peer evaluations, though I do acknowledge the importance of both giving and getting feedback. To this end I have kept most of my assessment of performance on more of one of acknowledging and discussing participation as opposed to a more quantifiable approach such as rubrics. I do employ a survey of participants at the end of the unit. I would look at the units produced through the unit and comment offered in the survey to refine the unit.

    • Aric Bilas
       
      The unit integrates ONLE most specifically through the use of Diigo as a communication tool (will act like a discussion board) and the UGC pages that will be posted on the public class website for all students to see.  The unit incorporates multiple parts of ONLE through the use of Twitter for communication, Delicious for resource tagging, Diigo for class discussion, and Google Sites for creating content and using that content to drive instruction.

      Question II: Social Tagging Architecture Please discuss what you social tagging architecture is. How do you design and develop it.
    • Aric Bilas
       
      For Delicious the Social Tagging is Period# Year Unit#. This format allows me to separate and aggregate results from different years and same unit, or different periods same unit to compare resources and provide them for future students.  In Twitter, each class has its own hashtag #ACLP(period #) which allows me to follow each class individually.

    • Aric Bilas
       
      I believe that the rubrics I created allow me to assess content, delivery and strategies through the individual aspects that they address.  Student teaching effectiveness will be seen in classmates success with concept and the individual components of the lesson are addressed through separate rubrics (social tagging, UGC, etc).  These separate rubrics will, hopefully, allow me to see the strengths and weaknesses of each group.

      Actually, I think high schoolers will do just fine with a discussion board :) My fourth graders are ok with it... or the mechanics of it, anyway, there are maturity issues.
    • Aric Bilas
       
      The maturity, even in high school, is my concern.  I think using Diigo as the discussion board will make it easier to manage.  Plus, these students still have 6 other courses to worry about and I don't want to overwhelm them with too many tools.

    • Laurel Griffiths
       
      I really tried to create a ONLE when designing my unit so I incorporated many discussion boards and 2 group assignments so that my students would have the feeling of having classmates that are all learning together. Also, I reminded students every step of the unit that if they have questions to email me so that I can address them, therefore again creating a classroom sense.

    • Laurel Griffiths
       
      I did not include any social tagging assignments in my unit but I did have students share ideas and web 2.0 tools they enjoyed through a discussion board, so websites and ideas are still being transferred just not through tagging.

    • Laurel Griffiths
       
      My assessment was having my students create their own lesson plan to share with the class using a new web 2.0 tool. I feel this assessment was good for the content because it is applying the content learned in a real setting. To assess the delivery of technology and instructional strategies I had a survey at the end of the lesson for students to fill out asking questions like if they thought the objectives were met. This survey is just for the instructor to know and improve their methods for the next time.

      Content is appropriate and is two-layered, Instructors and the learners they guide. The key to the success of this workshop will be in how well the intended audience carries through with that aspect of the workshop.
    • Dan Ciernia
       
      This workshop is complete in the area of ONLE instructional strategies and the appropriate tools to achieve success in executing these strategies. Choice is key in the elements of this workshop, the audience of this workshop need to recognize that element and assure that it is implemented in their follow-on.
    • Dan Ciernia
       
      A very good collection of web 2.0 tools to use and learn. They provide the networking aspects necessary for this assignment and to provide a strong base in learning and understanding web 2.0 tools. The variety of tools are very good as standalone and integrated for connecting learners and the content they research and create.
    • Dan Ciernia
       
      Lesson elements are measured/assessed by rubrics which are clear and complete. The inclusion of the survey on how the workshop instructor performed is an excellent addition.
  •  
    The true goal of my unit was to introduce teachers to as many web 2.0 tools as I could in a short period of time so that they are able to incorporate them into their lessons. I feel that creating a lesson plan and sharing our lesson plans with the class with a great way to assess the content of my unit. Also I included a survey at the end of my unit for my students to grade me as an instructor, so then I would get a assessment for my delivery of technology and instructional strategies through feedback.

    • Sammi Lindstrom
       
      The concept of ONLE is supported by three main areas, Collaborative Publishing, Personal Learning Environments (PLE) and Social Tagging. In this unit students will create a wiki to be used by lower level math students during the course of the year, iGoogle will help them to create a PLE to keep all resources and social tools organized and delicious will be used with appropriate tagging to share resources. This is different from DL because students are discovering and creating their own learning through suggestions by the instrucotr but they are not pigeonholed into using only the resources provided by the instructor.

    • Sammi Lindstrom
       
      The social tagging architecture will be certain tags required by the instructor but others will be discussed and chosen by the students. In delicious students will keep resources organized by the year and semester they saved the item to help the following students know how old the resource is and which lesson or topic it is a resource for. The students will develop the social tagging though it will be initially designed by the instructor. As the unit progresses through the years the tagging sturcture will change and adapt as needed.

      The ONLE will be assessed through the use of the blogging journals and delicious accounts. Questions will be posed within the blogs, facebook and twitter throughout the unit to see how the resources are being used, suggestions for changes and how others may use the resources more effectively. Adding resources to a class delicious account as well as a google doc for resources or FAQ page for the class will also help to asses and evaluate what is working and what is not to make adjustments as needed with the unit.

    • Todd Luther
       
      In a managed or distributed learning course the students are typically restricted to the content uploaded by the instructor. In an ONLE/PLE students can contribute to their own learning as well as the other students. Online maps, samples and interactive labs are available online. The web has thousands of images, movies, websites and video clips that can be incorporated into open discussions, student created wikis and blogs. In addition students can choose from many different programs available online in order to accomplish the assignments in this unit. This student driven learning can be beneficial to understanding concepts and ideas in geology.

      Question II: Social Tagging Architecture Please discuss what you social tagging architecture is. How do you design and develop it.
    • Todd Luther
       
      Social tagging is a way of organizing websites, tweets, and information in such a way as to make it available to other online users. The tagging helps users identify specific topics and comments and gives them the ability to add information to that group. This unit uses Twitter and Delicious and their tagging architecture so students can find the correct information and add their own data to the group. This unit uses Twitter to keep students up to date on assignments and allow them to communicate with the class. They will use the hashtag #GLG101edtech. In addition the students will provide additional resources for each lesson and make them available on delicious for others to access.

      Question III: Evaluations Discuss how do you know your integrated ONLE instructional strategies effective? Remember assessing content is different from assessing instructional strategies. Your assessment must be capable to assess content, delivery technology, and instructional strategies.

      In each lesson there is blog reflection that is required of the students. The students comment on their experiences during the lesson and their group assignments. The student's observations about the unit gives me the opportunity to evaluate delivery content and instructional strategies. There are also rubrics to guide the students with their assignments and help to evaluate content. In addition students peer evaluate several assignments. The quality of the work submitted is also a way the delivery content, strategies and content can be evaluated. As I review the lesson, I would have liked to add a survey for the students to provide specific information on the strategies and delivery content.
