Web Learning about Web Learning for teachers | Virtual Canuck - 0 views

  • The process began three weeks ago with the course authors drafting and sharing for comment,  a proposed syllabus (using Google docs). In order to maintain consistency each ‘module’ consists of an introduction, 12-15 ‘screens’ of content, a summary, a multiple choice quiz and a list of resources for further exploration. The design model also insists that modules are not cross linked to allow for modular use as learning objects. The Google docs spreadsheet module was employed so the content, and especially the learning outcome of each ‘screen’ is articulated by the author and vetted by the ‘ expert consultant and other members of the development team. Each module is designed to take 60-90 minutes of end user time to complete. Fortunately, Epigeum technicians and media experts will actually create the screens which  (I understand) will make liberal use of video, animation and other multimedia resources. The modules are formatted to meet IMS content packaging standard so that they can ‘eaten up’ and delivered by a variety of LMS (OK make that VLEs, in the UK) delivery systems.

Edublogers as a Network of Practice | Virtual Canuck - 0 views

  • Had a core group of either paid or highly motivated contributors • Members workplaces shared much common structural characteristics – similar job requirements, organization etc. • Strong norms of collective behaviour: Members shared common social codes and ‘best practices’ • Trust, affiliation and other affective characteristics were nourished • The network had means to collectively censure inappropriate behaviour • The NOP used an appropriate set of distributed tools to effectively accomplish these goals.
  • ou just start to blog, read blogs and comment on blogs with content related to education and/or learning. But it can be a lonely world if nobody reads your posts. Thus, an aspiring edublogger needs to develop the set of network relationships such that their posts are read and responded to – in essence becoming a full member of the NoP. This is perhaps best accomplished by reading the blogs of others, commenting on them, noting the Blog role listings of other edubloggers that favorite authors are following, reading and responding to and gradually moving into the existing flow. Then, through immersion into the network (caused mostly by allocating  time to read, and  talent to originate and respond) the Edublogger  learns what content is appreciated, commented on and that leads to ongoing discourse

Concept map - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  •  
    "A concept map is a way of representing relations between ideas, images or words, in the same way that a sentence diagram represents the grammar of a sentence, a road map represents the locations of highways and towns, and a circuit diagram represents the workings of an electrical appliance. In a concept map, each word or phrase is connected to another and linked back to the original idea, word or phrase. Concept maps are a way to develop logical thinking and study skills, by revealing connections and helping students see how individual ideas form a larger whole.[2] Concept maps were developed to enhance meaningful learning in the sciences. A well made concept map grows within a context frame defined by an explicit "focus question," while a mind map often has only branches radiating out from a central picture. There is research evidence that knowledge is stored in the brain in the form of productions that act on declarative memory content which is also referred to as chunks or propositions [3][4]. Because concept maps are constructed to reflect organization of the declarative memory system, they facilitate sense-making and meaningful learning on the part of individuals who make concept maps and those who use them."

  • Learner input into the place, strategies and content of the instructional program The system recognizes that its instructional program is not the same as the learnign that happens to the students no prerequisite learning requirements learners know and can influence the expected learning outcomes the system is scalable providing cost effective learning opportunity the system uses communications and information processing technologies effectively the system uses testing and evaluation to diagnose and help learners the system employs ‘distance’ in the positive development of learner autonomy the system works within the learners context and concentrates on enriching that context, not on bringing the student to specialized institutional learning contexts the system works with other community institutions and resources to enrich the “learning society”

Kapp Notes: Teens, Tweens and Social Networking - 0 views

  • Online social networking is now so deeply embedded in the lifestyles of tweens and teens that it rivals television for their attention...Nine- to 17-year-olds report spending almost as much time using social networking services and Web sites as they spend watching television. Among teens, that amounts to about 9 hours a week on social networking activities,compared to about 10 hours a week watching TV.
  • any students engage in highly creative activities on social networking sites...Overall, an astonishing 96 percent of students with online access report that they have ever used any social networking technologies, such as chatting, text messaging, blogging and visiting online communities
  • Eighty-one percent say they have visited a social networking Web site within the past three months and 71 percent say they use social networking tools at least weekly.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Students report that one of the most common topics of conversation on the social networking scene is education. Almost 60 percent of students who use social networking talk about education topics online and, surprisingly, more than 50 percent talk specifically about schoolwork.

Facebook as LMS? « Experiencing E-Learning - 0 views

  • I agree with Sarah that using social networking tools for a course increases the amount of interaction and probably encourages more assessment of how people interact together. I
  • I wonder for people who already use these tools if the community of a course would really feel any different than the community of their friends.
  • f we’re trying to create lifelong learners, then using social networking tools for learning might be more effective. It has a stronger intrinsic context for interacting with others than a more artificial classroom environment. Practice that is as close to real life as possible is more effective, so practicing using tools for learning in the real world should make it easier for students to transition out of the course and continue using the tools.

  • The field test for one of the courses I developed recently finished, and I got the initial feedback today. This is the first course where I have used blogs, wikis, and other tools. A lot of what students do for this course is outside of the LMS, but they also come back in for the discussion boards. One point in the feedback was that students had a hard time jumping back and forth between the blogs and the discussion boards. The conversations didn’t seem connected to each other, and the discussions “didn’t have a home.” It is one of the problems with all of these tools that everything is so scattered. RSS can aggregate a lot of content into one place, but you still have to be able to bounce back and forth between resources and connect it all. Using these tools creates a much less centralized experience than a traditional LMS.

  • MacNeil was already using his own website to post assignments, useful links and samples of work in his communications-technology class, so Facebook seemed a logical next step.
  • Looking through Vaughan's class Facebook page, there are several discussion topics being debated daily and students -- old and new -- posting messages by the hour.
  • "It wasn't that it was any better than sending an e-mail or anything like that, it was that they seemed more willing to accept that media over the other ones,'' says MacNeil.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Vaughan says it was his students' idea to use Facebook and he has introduced it for the past three semesters with growing success."The students wanted to use it because it's a tool they already use and they (student teachers) also wanted to see if it was a tool they could use with their students in the future.''
  • eachers "are able to leverage a tool students already use instead of asking them to learn how to use a separate application,'' she says.
