  • Four challenges face students as they use Internet technologies to search for, navigate, critically evaluate, and synthesize information. Here I pose each challenge as a question and suggest a corresponding activity that models effective strategies to help students meet that challenge.
  • The following strategy lesson invites students to stop, think, and anticipate where important information about a Web site's content might be found
  • To move students beyond simply cutting and pasting their notes directly into their final projects, teachers can provide students with a word-processing document (see fig. 3) that serves as a template to help them organize their research

  • There are many ways to structure your presentation, but the two most common approaches center either on PowerPoint or storytelling. I heavily favor storytelling.
  • There are many ways to structure your presentation, but the two most common approaches center either on PowerPoint or storytelling. I heavily favor storytelling.
  • PowerPoint can be tedious. Some presenters pack slides with data, graphs and text, which are often hard to read. Some speakers actually turn their backsides toward the audience, to read aloud from their slides. I don’t advise it.

  • Despite its flaws and frequent abuses, PowerPoint can add significant value to a talk when it is not misused.
  • One of my dirty little secrets is that without it, I am likely to lose my place while speaking.
  • But there’s another reason to include it. PowerPoint can be a great supplement to your talk. I use it to illustrate the stories I tell in the same way photos enhance the articles and blogs I publish.
  • I’m a minimalist on text. If I use bullet points, there are usually only one-to-five words per bullet and the font is large enough to read from the back of the room. When I click to a new slide, I pause and let people view it for a moment.

Building Communities--Strategies for Collaborative Learning - 2002 - ASTD - 0 views

  • E-learning communities are groups of people connected solely via technology. All interactions begin and occur over the Internet, through conference calls, via videoconferencing, and so forth. These communities promote virtual collaboration that's focused on addressing a specific topic, and they are supported by one or more online learning and media tools.
  • Blended learning communities integrate online learning and face-to-face meetings. Two core assumptions of this type of community are 1) deep personal relationships between learners create richer collaborative learning experiences and 2) relationships between learners can be strengthened through structured group interactions that employ technology before and/or after a face-to-face learning event.
  • For example, a leadership development program might include an ice-breaker community to provide prework and introduce participants, a face-to-face experiential workshop to help clarify and define individual development objectives, and a follow-up community that focuses on coaching and mentoring to overcome challenges as participants achieve their objectives.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Whether creating a community for e-learning or one that supports a blended learning approach, community builders must consider a variety of factors related to people, group processes, and technology--if they're to design and orchestrate online environments that inspire collaborative learning.
  • As the term community has become an ambiguous buzzword, the concept has become synonymous with online discussion boards and chat rooms. When put into a learning context, however, community can be a vehicle for connecting people to other people’s stories and experiences, as well as mentoring, all of which result in accelerated learning and the sharing of tacit knowledge within an organization.
