    In that spirit of collaboration, the Teaching Carnival is back. … Each month, a new writer will collect and sort teaching-related links and will post them here. (If you are interested in writing one of these posts or contributing links to the roundup, see the info at the bottom of this page.) This is a great source for connecting to college profs who are writing about teaching in college.

    Recent studies show that literacy practices "are changing so rapidly that educators, students, and parents are unsure about how school literacy learning experiences and out-of-school literacy practices connect." However, "a majority of more than 900 educator-respondents to the NCTE poll indicate that … out-of-school literacy practices are as critical to students' development as what occurs in the classroom."

      This post assumes that most college research papers are based on secondary sources easily found on the Internet.
  • The best way to do research is know what your thesis is for a given topic.
    • Keith Hamon
      Keith Hamon on 24 Jan 11
       
      I'm not sure I agree. Many students start with a subject, such as gun control, but don't develop a thesis until after they have done some reading and investigation.
  • Having a thesis in mind can help you narrow research, even if you change your thesis during the process.
    • Keith Hamon

      I do believe that students should be taught to do research after they know what they are looking for.

      This is an essential tool for using Diigo. You can bookmark without the Diigo tool, but it is much more cumbersome to do so.
  • You might consider color coding your highlights, e.g., yellow for quotes that support your thesis, and green for quotes that are against your thesis.

  • “There’s this notion that technology is networked and social. It does alter the power relationship between the educator and the learner, a learner has more autonomy, they have more control. The expectation that you wait on the teacher to create everything for you and to tell you what to do is false.”
    • Keith Hamon
      Keith Hamon on 02 Sep 10
       
      This is perhaps the practical heart of Connectivism: that the world is networked and that the learner is at the center of their own personal learning network.
  • “At the beginning, we had quite a number of students feeling quite overwhelmed because you would get 200 or 300 posts going into a discussion forum per day and that’s just about impossible to follow,” Siemens says.

      PLNs must have filters and aggregators to help us manage the massive flow of information in MOOCs.
  • Even if students in massively open online courses master the technology and overcome their virtual stage fright, a third problem remains: how to recognize the value of a learning experience that isn’t for credit.
    • Keith Hamon
      Keith Hamon on 02 Sep 10
       
      Validation remains a very sticky issue for online learning and for PLNs. However, I'm not sure the resolution will be to find a method for online validation, redefinition of validation, or a mixture of both.

  • It’s a question that proponents of online education continue to grapple with. Even if a student in an open course gains from their experience, there is no guarantee that the boss, or a potential employer, will recognize their learning without a certificate or other official, institution-approved record to prove it.
  • Keith Hamon on 02 Sep 10
     
    With advancing online tools innovative educators are examining new ways to break out of this one-to-many model of education, through a concept called massively open online courses. The idea is to use open-source learning tools to make courses transparent and open to all, harnessing the knowledge of anyone who is interested in a topic.

  • MOOCs reduce barriers to information access and to the dialogue that permits individuals (and society) to grow knowledge.
    • Keith Hamon
      Keith Hamon on 26 Aug 10
       
      We have yet to truly explore this reduction of barriers to information access, but it is emerging before our eyes. When lectures by Nobel-prize physicists and writers are online for free, then what do we local physics and English teachers have to offer our classrooms? We need to think through that.
  • Knowledge is a mashup. Many people contribute. Many different forums are used. Multiple media permit varied and nuanced expressions of knowledge. And, because the information base (which is required for knowledge formation) changes so rapidly, being properly connected to the right people and information is vitally important.
    • Keith Hamon
      Keith Hamon on 26 Aug 10
       
      This captures nicely the shift from learning as a solitary activity within the individual mind to learning as a networked, interconnected activity within a personal learning network.
  • MOOCs share the process of knowledge work – facilitators model and display sensemaking and wayfinding in their discipline. They respond to critics, to challenges from participants in the course. Instead of sharing only their knowledge (as is done in a university course) they share their sensemaking habits and their thinking processes with participants. Epistemology is augmented with ontology.
    • Keith Hamon
      Keith Hamon on 26 Aug 10
       
      Online, our knowledge-making becomes explicit, and we shift from traditional teaching methods back to older apprenticeship methods. We let our students see us struggle to create new knowledge out of data and experience.

    Don't depend on someone else's interpretation of a document. Read it yourself and draw your own conclusions. Listen to speeches and hear for yourself, who said what. Document based questions (DBQs) are a major focus in schools today. To be answered correctly, students must be adept at analyzing and synthesizing the information provided. They must be able to write coherent and logical essays. This site is meant to provide students with resources to develop the skills needed to effectively respond to DBQs.

    a model of inquiry has emerged that seems to balance the vision of student-centered inquiry described in the NSES with an inquiry strategy that reflects teacher concerns. This model, called the Coupled Inquiry Cycle, combines, or "couples", "teacher guided" inquiry with "full" or "open" inquiry, into an inquiry cycle based on a learning cycle format

  • In the spring of 2008, Professor Jon Beasley-Murray launched his students at the University of British Columbia on a project to improve the inadequate and shallow coverage of Latin American literary studies by the online encylopedia Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia%3AWikiProject_Murder_Madness_and_Mayhem). Working in groups, some students were assigned to topics that did not yet have articles while others were tasked with improving existing articles.
