Archive for February, 2010. February 18, 2010. At work we are just beginning to use Ning as a social network with our Int level students, with the idea of it perhaps developing as a portfolio space where they can showcase their work and language growth. Any suggestions from anyone else who has found this works (or not) for them? You are currently browsing the Learning Curve. Blog archives for February, 2010. Who dares to teach must never cease to learn. Language is the mother, not the servant, of thought.

BlendKit MOOC week 2 reading | Learning Curve
https://krnhaines.wordpress.com/2015/03/06/blendkit-mooc-week-2-reading
Laquo; BlendKit MOOC week 1 reading. BlendKit MOOC wk 3 Reading. BlendKit MOOC week 2 reading. March 6, 2015. This week’s reading was all about interaction and planning for it to occur in blended environments. Dziuban, Hartman, and Mehaffy (2014) observe that. The four models below all blend the expertise of the educator with the learner as doer. But how much do learners actually need to be taught? John Seely Brown’s notion of studio or atelier learning. Curtis Bonk’s notion of educator as concierge.

Laquo; BlendKit MOOC wk 3 Reading. BlendKit MOOC wk 5 reading. BlendKit MOOC wk 4. March 19, 2015. I love the questions to ponder at the beginning of this week’s reading. I can well use these with staff to support learning design for new blended courses. In what experiences (direct or vicarious) will you have students participate during your blended learning course? Obviously online games pick up on the strengths of these activities. Include the idea of producing or creating something as a way of learning.

Archive for May, 2015. Web 20 creativity tools MOOC week 3. May 24, 2015. Consider this question: What is a creativity issue in your teaching environment that could be resolved by using new technologies? Continuum of media for creativity – not sure how useful this is other than as a categorization. Word – visuword, tagxedo. Visual – Bookr, graffiti creator, scratch. Word, visual and sound – creating digital stories. MOOC Web 2.0 tools. May 6, 2015. Week one is about using Web 2.0 tools to communicate.

BlendKit MOOC week 1 reading. March 1, 2015. Starting this course just a tad late, as I only found out about it once it had started. So just moving into week 2 and I’m still finishing week 1 material. Below are my reflections on Chapter 1 reading. Useful questions to ponder. 8211; given before the reading. Quotes from chapter 1 direct. 8211; things I want to remember. I liked the graph that someone suggested online (not in this course) in which the where. How much do learners interact? Allows for flexibi...

Archive for November, 2014. November 7, 2014. Dystopia, utopia… The eLearning and digital cultures MOOC is off to an interesting start, with four short movies to provoke our engagement with the theme of Utopias Dystopias for the first block. The second block is about Being Human. It is the sense of hope that I remember from Wall-E, Disney’s dystopian movie. So what do we do about educational perspectives that tap into technological determinism? Created a page in MyPortfolio. Teaching blogs and wikis.

Archive for January, 2014. 10 years of blogging. January 26, 2014. Just been down a wee trip on memory lane – rereading my blog postings over a period of 7 years. And realised that I’ve actually been blogging for ten years with photo. I wonder if there are two ways of using blogs – capturing. 8216; – where you don’t want to lose a moment in time, just as when you click the shutter on the camera. 8216; ideas that make me think or inform me of different perspectives. Blog to date. It is about me and my...
