- pgeorge go Mac!!
- ASTM Student Members I LUV Screencast-o-matic
- pgeorge that streaming banner across the bottom
covers about
half
of your faces π - pgeorge MOOC Cast superstar–Lisa Lane π Nice
title! - ASTM Student Members The audio is great, but the
video is
choppy - Lisa M Lane I think the audio depends on your
connection and
the
connections of the individuals on cam - ASTM Student Members I hear a little echo but
this is
wonderful
considering! - pgeorge both audio and video are coming through
great for me
but I
have a direct ethernet connection with great bandwidth - pgeorge wow! one talk/interview with Dan PInk
about all 4 of
his
books!! - pgeorge
http://www.edtechcrew.net/2011/08/24/ed-tech-crew-171/ - pgeorge thanks for tweeting that link Vance
- pgeorge it’s really interesting to watch Jeff’s
face change
with
each of the words he was using to describe the course–frowns with the
control words and smiles/big eyes with the open terms π - gsiemens those are the best courses, Lisa π
- pgeorge HI George π
- Lisa M Lane http://pedagogyfirst.org/wppf
- pgeorge thanks! always feel like I’m missing
something when
there
are 2 chat rooms (I am…) - Vance ok, found it, Hi Peggy
- pgeorge HI Vance π
- pgeorge @Vance-did you see my earlier message
about
Elluminate
Publish? - ASTM Student Members Is this BuddyPress?
- ASTM Student Members WPTavern is a great forum
for BuddyPress - pgeorge I really like the title and sub-title for
your site!
π - Vance can anyone reach this blog post or is it
truly down
http://joedale.typepad.com/integrating_ict_into_the_/2011/03/easy-classroom-blogging-with-posterous.html - pgeorge I had no problem reaching that post Vance
- Vance I’ll use my vpn then
- pgeorge Easy classroom blogging with Posterous??
- pgeorge came through fine
- Kate Robbins no problem with that link, Vance,
but it did
freeze
my screen - Kate Robbins This sounds like Vance’s strucutre
except
Mentors. - pgeorge must just be a bit bandwidth intensive
with this
livestream/hangout running simultaneously - Kate Robbins It’s interesting so many feel so
uncomfortable
not
via an LMS - pgeorge I love that model–12 weeks/12 weeks
- pgeorge that is the classic struggle for
university
folks–well
almost everyone! structured learning vs open learning. Still looking
for the prof to structure their learning - Kate Robbins That’s the US School System –
administration has
tp
have the oversight - pgeorge ummmm–oversight = control π
- Kate Robbins or saving their jobs:)
- Lisa M Lane oddly, if your class is open, they
can oversight
all
they want - Lisa M Lane but they want the stats maybe
- pgeorge probably right Lisa–stats…
- pgeorge I think Posterous provides a fantastic
tool for this - Kate Robbins Which is very difficult for the
traditional
learners,
who grew up with structure - pgeorge exactly Kate!
- pgeorge so true–Google has so many tools
integrated for the
entire experience - Kate Robbins important for grants and funding
- Kate Robbins Where are you, Jeff?
- Vanessa but welcome to those of us who grew up
resisting the
structure - Kate Robbins Is Arnold included? LOL
- Vance hi vanessa
- Vanessa hello all –
- Vanessa no sound just text
- morteza barin hello everybody
- Lisa M Lane you can join us in Google + hangout
if you are
linked
to Jeff Lebow - Lisa M Lane Vanessa, are you here via
https://edtechtalk.net/livestreamjeff? - Vanessa I’m finding higher ed faculty is as
resistant to
openness
as admin: they characterize open learning as content without learning
(eg no active ‘teaching’) - Vance what about active learning?
- Vanessa I got Lisa’s FB msg and am her via that
link - Lisa M Lane ooooh, I must remember that – OER
might be
content
without teaching - Vanessa Some find active learning threatening
- Lisa M Lane Vanessa, find Jeff LeBow through G+
- pgeorge hard to keep track of all of the MOOCs π
- Vanessa I replied by saying take one of these
before passing
judgement - Jeff Lebow: would you like to join Vanessa?
- Kate Robbins yes – mentorship finds itself
- Kate Robbins just not appointed
- Vanessa Yes, George it is… comforting that even
a moocuru
would
find it so - Vanessa I agree Kate – many is the time I have
gone mentor
hunting - pgeorge community means you have to take some
personal
responsibility for contributing to the community–not just completing
assignments - Vanessa because what was offered did not suit
- Jeff Lebow: hangout invite sent Vanessa
- ralenefriend Hello all
- pgeorge hi ralenefriend π welcome
- Lisa M Lane Hi Ralene!
- Vanessa cooperative also means (to some)
relinquishing control - Vanessa hi Ralene
- Lisa M Lane or switching to a different kind of
control - Vance that’s a really good point, Kate, I’ll
certainly
consider
formalizing the mentorship relationship in future courses - Kate Robbins It might save your time, Vance!
- Kate Robbins guess it relplaces the old model of
team /
partner
work - pgeorge the concept of aggregating using tags is
really
important–not just tracking/monitoring but aggregating - pgeorge hahaha–grasshoppers for dummies!
- Vanessa Having done both, I think voluntary (and
mutual)
mentoring
works better than old team / partner model w/ those imposed top down - pgeorge scoop.it can handle individual blog posts
but haven’t
tried a page with rss feeds - Kate Robbins yes @Vanessa I agree
- pgeorge I agree @Vanessa–and don’t need to have
just one
mentor–community of mentors π - Kate Robbins Hi, by the way:)
- Lisa M Lane As a mentor and a mentee, I felt more
comfortable
having the connection defined, even loosely. - Vanessa @George – Tags – took me a long time to
really get
the
habit but they have made such a difference. I have Vance and EVO to
thank - ASTM Student Members Love Scoop.it too
- pgeorge Bill Zimmerman π To help educators,
MakeBeliefsComix.com, thefree online comic strip generator, has
launched a Daily Comix Diary Pageoffering many ideas at http://www.makebeliefscomix.com/Daily-Comix-Diary/ - Vanessa @Lisa – I agree, maybe it’s something we
need to work
on… loose enough to be flexible but clear enough to be useful - Vance here”s the list of epcop mooc recordings
and upcoming
sessions, here
http://learning2gether.pbworks.com/w/page/32206114/volunteersneeded - pgeorge thanks for the link Vance–have it
bookmarked from
your
earlier email to webheads–very helpful! - Vance coach Carol’s Make Belief change eportfolio
cover
http://www.makebeliefscomix.com/Comix/?comix_id=33421980C521942 - pgeorge interesting distinction between
collaboration and
cooperation–not sure I agree - Kate Robbins If you’re sharing ideas,
that’s
collaborating, no? - pgeorge good explanation Lisa π that makes sense
- gjoyce glenis joyce I’m in eportfolio mooc, great
scaffolding,
great support from Challenge Mentors. http://epcopmooc.ning.com/ - ASTM Student Members Google + question – Jeff how
come you
don’t
appear at the top, even when you’re speaking - ASTM Student Members now I’m hungry…
- ASTM Student Members Jeff, now you’re on top π
- Kate Robbins Vance re: Dan Pink – here is the
link to the TED
Talk
re: motivation http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pink_on_motivation.html - Kate Robbins Dan Pink on the surprising science
of motivation - pgeorge is it that the “streamer” doesn’t pop up
to the top
because of the audio source? - Vanessa @G – focused vs
diffused ~
collaboration requires cooperation.. - Vance yes and this is the link to the interview I
mentioned
earlier http://www.edtechcrew.net/2011/08/24/ed-tech-crew-171/ - Kate Robbins ok – thanks
- Vance he says the intrinsic drivers are the ones
we should be
attending to - pgeorge some people don’t trust their intrinsic
drivers–think
they don’t know enough and want the guidance fromthe experts - Michael I really apprecated folks recommendations
during the
eduMOOC regarding Canvas - Kate Robbins drove me crazy in grad school -some
prof use 1
chapter - pgeorge and it’s usually a textbook written by
that faculty
member
π - Vanessa intrinsic / extrinsic – big difference in
language
learing
where a lot has been written about it - pgeorge great first session!!! thank you all for
