Me as a teacher | The Weblog of (a) David Jones - 1 views

  • Perhaps the biggest example of that that I think lectures suck. In fact, I have a dislike for most face-to-face teaching practices in a University context. I have – what Bali and Meier describe as – an affinity for asynchronous learning.

For EDC3100 the challenge is scaling this to a course with 100+ students. For EDU8117 the challenge may be to be a bit more experimental in how it’s done. In both the challenge may be for me to break my limitations/conceptions and those of the institutional environment.

  • is links to the point made by Goodyear et al (2014) Unless learning is very closely supervised and directed (which it rarely is), there will usually be some slippage between task and activity, for good and bad reasons. This is important to acknowledge, when designing, because what people learn is a consequence of their actual activity, and therefore only indirectly a result of the task set for them. Tasks are designable, activities are not – they are emergent. (p. 1

  • n his post “as teacher” Brendon, one of the other NGL participants, mentions Sugata Mitra’s work and the idea of students being “able to develop their own connections and learning without … explicit teaching”. Brendon identifies as a key challenge for schools the task of developing (or perhaps unleashing learner’s inherent ability to be) “self-directed and inquisitive learners”. For both my courses I see this as the main aim and the main challenge.

  • Sorry, but Mahara still doesn’t compete with WordPress (or any other of numerous freely available online alternatives). In reflecting on her “as teacher” Anne relates a similar story around one school’s pilot program with Microsoft where each student has their own tablet device “but the device is not able to be taken home”

      All of the following really starting to talk about what I'd like to do.
  • Goodyear et al (2014) pick up on the term affordance as both important, but also as “a term that is also very widely critiqued and contested” (p. 137). The idea is that particular technologies afford different possibilities dependent on people’s perceptions of a technology. But an affordance isn’t a single set of possibilities seen by every person. Taking what Goodyear et al (2014) describe as a “relational-materialist” the idea of affordance becomes much more complex and emergent.

    Hi David Could you please indicate how you would mark this? Both overall, and with regards as to how each of your examples meet the criteria? Would I be correct to assume that this is exemplary? I'm somewhat uncertain as to how to interpret the marking criteria. Thanks Laura

    Hi Anne Just wanted to let you know that I can't see any highlights or annotations on your page. I can for others within the group (Katarena, GG, Annelise), so thought I should it mention it. It may well be something I am doing wrong, but you might want to check if others are having the same issue or not.... Cheers Laura

Cartography: The true true size of Africa | The Economist - 1 views

      Sir Ken Robinson retweeted this photo showing "the real size of Africa." I thought it was interesting because it illustrates in a slightly ironic fashion how we may have great misconceptions about the world and its "super-powers." How much does size matter after all?

    A nice blog about another Social Networked Learning course being run at Boise State University.  This course explores collaborative and emergent pedagogies, tools, and theory related to the use of social networks in learning environments. Participants gain hands-on experience with a variety social networking tools, create their own personal learning networks, and have an opportunity to develop a MOOC-inspired course for their learners.

David Price OBE - Keynote Flat Connections Global Project 2013 - 1 views

  •  
    Quote from David's book 'Open: How we'll work, live and learn in the future' "Because information flows faster and more freely than ever, and because we are better connected than ever, the barriers to learning are being dismantled. We share what we learn instantly and generally without restrictions. How we learn and whom we learn from has been transformed. Our reliance upon anointed experts and authority figures has diminished, while our capacity to learn from each other has spiralled"
