"Web-based meeting playground"

This relates to the voicethread that Michelle Byers asked us to look at this week.

A machinima.

Jennifer Motter's machinima

Jennifer Motter's machinima. I refer to Maria Martinez Gonzalez's 2008 article, "Feminst Praxis Challenges the Identity Question: Toward New Collective Identity Metaphors" and connect it with my thoughts on Post Secret.

Mary Elizabeth's machinima for February 2nd.

I found the tension between the Ozzy Osbourne lyrics and the virtual body / virtual landscape to be moving, but also a frightening "Matrix" version of our future planet: creating trees and living online because we have no trees. The word "dreamer" seems important here -- how can virtual embodiment lead to action in our first world.

A Question of Memory: Constructing an Artist's Screen Memories through Video by Tamar Efrat from her 2009 dissertation at Teachers College. Tamar presented at the PSU/TC Graduate Research in Art Education (GRAE) Conference in November 2008. Here she provides interactivity in viewing her videos by embedding them in a blog.

A call for papers

From the Web site "About Tag ties and affective spies Tag ties & affective spies is a critical approach on the social media of our times. What happens when we are "tagging" , "posting" and "sharing" our experiences and opinions in platforms such as those of Facebook, YouTube, flickr or del.ic.ious? Are we really connecting and interacting or are we also forming the content and..."

the k-12 edition of Horizon Report 2009 The first trend is collaborative environments...

This is a great video. It begins with a description of html code (ala 1996), moves to an explanation of style as separated from content (Cascading Style Sheets and PHP), and then into some observations about the participatory nature of Web 2.0. One good thing is - you no longer have to know code to participate. A perfect vid for this class!

Museums and the Web 2009 conference has several full-text papers available that relate to topics many of you have facilitated inquires. Particularly these 3 papers relate to Brian's inquiry: Learning In The Wild: What Wolfquest Taught Developers and Game Players Fictional press releases and fake artifacts: How the Smithsonian American Art Museum is letting game players redefine the rules City Treasure. Mobile Games for Learning Cultural Heritage

College credit via YouTube. How's that for Web 2.0 Pedagogy?

I don't see this as Web 2.0 pedagogy in that students watch lectures on YouTube and complete coursework. It depends what the course work is, if there is any Web 2.0 pedagogy involved. Karen Hi, In my haste, I too questioned this. I was thinking of Web 2.0 in the sense that the professor is empowered to upload lectures to Web - so Web 2.0 as the read/write Web. In generating content and sharing, the professor has the ability to reach beyond the four walls of the classroom. And, in doing so, may increase the opportunity for students to receive education. I do agree, that this is not an example of web 2.0 pedagogy in the sense that we are exploring in our class. I think it is Web 2.0 from the professors point of view but not necessarily from the students point of view. Perhaps Web 2.0 pedagogy really requires reciprocity as was mentioned in our article last week. Thanks for your comment. It is ok with me to put these notes on the diigo group page. :) MEM
