... because there is no telling when I will be back this way... even though I do keep reminding myself about that immensely past due wrap up post comparing mini and maxi mooking about.  Ckk11 has not been done that long, I keep telling myself. Plus, there are still connectivist groups active, continuations. And a mobi-MOOC that I have absolutely no business following but am anyway... at least not registered unless joining the Google group counts. Head counting in MOOCs can…

Hi!!

After few days trying to create a page in netvibes I finally did it.

This is the link netvibes.

inspired by Vasi's forum question...

Technological literacy is the ability to understand and evaluate technology. It complements technological competency, which is the ability to create, repair, or operate specific technologies, commonly computers.

Another EVO (my fifth) comes to a close today. As a co-moderator in this session, I've had to wrestle with guilt over not only which tasks I have not completed, but also for not staying on top of my moderator responsibilities (following what everyone else was contributing and responding in a timely manner, maintaining the YG calendar, and so on). But I don't want to wallow in guilt today! I would prefer to thank Vance and Jennifer for their forbearance and for helping me to learn so many… Continue

I really meant to attend this session, which was at noon GMT today. I haven't been to work since last Thursday because of snow; we are experiencing our second major storm of the week as I write this. But I forgot that I had to subtract five hours and get up at 7 am, so I missed it. Darn!!! Continue

I could only join today’s live session at Elluminate for the last half hour. Little as I heard (I haven't listened to the recording yet), it has prompted me to reflect on why, how, where - and perhaps, also for whom - I tag. Also, on how and why I could use this with my students.



I started tagging as a way to keep track of all the interesting information, pages, blogs, tools, etc that I encountered as I started my online… Continue

I'm standing at the teacher's desk in my smart classroom at the University of Maryland, and my students are writing about "one or two cultural differences [they]'ve noticed while living in a foreign country...." I was looking at the tasks for Week 3, which begins today, and decided to have a look at Zaid Alkagoff's slideshare presentation "Twenty-Five Edublogs You Simply Don't Want… Continue

Ok, well this is my first post on Ning. I haven't had the time to really explore everything suggested for weeks 1 and 2 but I'm planning to spend a bit more time in the next few weeks.



I've had some problems with what seem like basic tasks; putting my photo on the map (too big), putting my photo on the Google doc (just couldn't figure it out) and just keeping up with all the tools and figuring out how they work.



PS I put a tag on the bottom here (#evomlit) - as far as I… Continue

Digital Literacies:a good focus point for education, a way to teach students key skills and make them aware of how technology will influence their future



Groups: from traditional/simple to complex/new

1. literacies bound up with language: We must not neglect traditional print literacy, but we also need to realize that… Continue

I am listening to the Rev. Martin Luther King's famous "I Have a Dream" speech (http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkihaveadream.htm) and remembering how before the web, how I had to find a video or audio of the speech and transcript in the library if I wanted to have my students hear it (I even remember transcribing the speech myself in my 2nd year of teaching, France 1973). And now it is available at the click of… Continue

I am looking at the tasks and objectives for Week 2. Set up a ProtoPage, Netvibes, PageFlakes, or iGoogle? I already use iGoogle as my homepage, but I don't think that is what Vance means. Other than my email, my Google Reader feeds and my to-do list, there isn't much that is me on that page. I think he is referring to the elusive "ePortfolio" we are supposed to create. I envision that as a space on the web where I can collect links to blogs and wikis I've created and am proud of, maybe post my… Continue

The university semester and EVO both began this week. I met eight new students and 59 participants in our session (there are more registered, but 59 people introduced themselves on the Yahoo!Group, and I assume most of the others are just lurking or have reconsidered). I actually completed most of the tasks for Week 1! I read, listened, and blogged; tweeted and twibed (?); tagged, read what others have tagged, and commented. I re-read the introduction to From Blogs to Bombs. I attended a few… Continue

Vance begins his article on modeling social media with three examples of how the world has changed (paradigm shift): how we look for information differently and have different expectations of it; how for more and more people, open-source is the way to go; and his love-hate relationship with his Kindle.… Continue

EVO 2010 kicks off tomorrow at 7 a.m. here in Maryland. I have set my alarm for 6L:30, ugh! The Yahoo Group has 48 members, l6 of whom have posted introductions, and the Ning has 74 members! I'm not sure if they are all new members, but I think Jennifer said she had reset it. I am not experienced with Nings (yet). The first time I really used one was at WiAOC 2009, but I liked it.



I keep forgetting that I have to save my blog post before I go to another page. Have lost what I wrote… Continue
