"Can't be easily frustrated".

Mess in Online Education: How it is, how it should be

Online is being looked at as a symptom of what's wrong and a way to fix it.

Utopia and/or  Dystopia  Puts us in a difficult position  NONONO and/or YES YES YES

Promise and/or Threat

The problem with trying to get it right is that we're not all speaking the same language

Three promises: Speed, Simplicity, Efficiency

Outsourcing

Learning like weight loss?  Promises of it being easy, but is it?

Duolingo App Language can be acquired faster through an app 

"Wicked clarity" through "virtual mess" 

Our culture values order so mess is not appreciated.  When we seek to tidy up, the things that we clean up still have value and contribute to bigger picture-real life

Make space for the unexpected, unusual and hitherto unexplored methods. McArthur 2010.  

Structure = Safety ??  Messiness in education doesn't mean not safe. It's creative, diverse, real, unusual, unexpected.

4 Values (motivations)  of Mess 1) ? 2)  accessing the students in the gap; 3) Recognize and accept education is messy...4) To fall in love again

Students have a different relationship to the known and the unknown then we do

"Deconstruct my oppressions"

Being afraid of not knowing the answers

Glorial Anzaldua "Like all people, we perceive the version of reality that our culture communicates.  Like others, having or living in more than one culture, we get multiple, often opposing messages.  The coming together..."

Media cont.

Coordinated Video take video as you're taking notes (compresses files)

Expanding the Conversations (traditional: teacher to student , now almost requirement that there's different methods/expectations to share)
Google Apps Google Drive  Collaborate with peers or teachers (changes traditional workflow)

Social Reading with Subtext (Subtext app)
Engage your class in any book or article.  Can create a group, upload article, add prompts (quetions) highlight,

Curate and Share: Digital Portfolios
educlipper (professional portfolio they can take with them) Can click content into them (documents, etc.)  Demonstrate what they've done

More and more employers are moving from traditional resume to more inclusive portfolio

Move content delivery to curation and sharing -- Information Literacy

Diigo - can sign up as an individual or as an educator.  Bookmarking site, tag, share with a group

Creating multi-modal eBooks  Create your own content  can add maps, models,  ibooksauthor, or bookcreator (can combine books) Easy to create and distribute

Then share with Apple bookstore

Using video enhances writing and is engaging to students

Simulations Skywalk, Virtual History Runner?

Augmented Reality (Aurasma) uses camera on iphone or ipad and if the image is recognized it will bring up additional information

VIrtualMuseum (videos to go with artifacts) Good for life timelines, book reports/review,

Role of teachers our role has morphed from expert in the room, the new classroom (kids might be relative experts compared to you) we have to be continually learning, so create an environment of learning versus teaching only

encourage curiosity and asking questions and answers

Don't hesitate because of fear of technology focus on the goal instead

Kids can do amazing things when you empower them and give them the opportunity

Life is a journey, not a destination

Joy of Learning!

Gift share your own passion for learning

Mobile Technology and Education

Sam Gliksman - wrote ipad in education for dummies

Stereotype
Boring, doesn't connect to their lives

Models are still built on old system
Access, lineated
Ownership of information-master and demonstrate
To-down structure
Expect students to adapt (students expected to adapt to the way we teach not us adapt to how they learn)

It's NOT all about the technology it's about being student-centered
There's so much information out there. It's what can I do with all of it, how
It's networked. the teacher is only part of the circle
They are not passive participants they are publishers of information (heavily satureated with the medium)

how we communicate has changed dramatically (capture, edit share instantly)

Using video to demonstrate Understanding: Mr Formato, Thayer School for physics
Objective: To create and document a demonstration of how frames of reference apply to the observation of motion

Video is a great language for students to communicate their message

Screencasting  (explaineverything program) works well on ipad (white screen) demonstrate your understanding by demonstrating and narrating (vocalize your understanding)  Explaineverything will give you option to put on YouTube or share through other means

Time-lapse phtotography (using ipad) take photos and then compresses them into video file Brings experiments to life SO using media to document and investigate

Using animation: the graphical novel
Objective: Using animation to relate a story graphically

Green screen (reasonably priced on Amazon) ipad has applications for $3

Attitudes towards media use
1.Regarded as trivial
2. Used as alternative activity
3. Any video is a good video (don't set standards)

We need media literacy standards

Coordinated Audio
Noteability and record options for audio (for students to record teacher as the student is taking notes)

Co

You Need Some Stinkin Badges

Establish a Purpose
1. Learning-Centered Vision
2. Promote Culture and Values

Parker Badges Bucket of badges (3 categories)
1. Life Badges Gateway (FUN badges) Parker in the Wild

2. Active Learning Student Engagement Life Long Learning.  A little harder to attain. Reward for learning new skills or awareness (Badges can include a file)

3. Parker Difference Badges (Faculty have to produce something, were in the spotlight)

http://badges.parker.edu

Activity: How could you use digital badges on your campus?
Programs or initiatives, culture or values, issue challenge

Openbadges.me

Incentives/motivation badges that lead to something (financial, ipad, **lunch at Happy Joes?) Don't want competition (don't have a leader board for example)

Two months soft launch a couple more for a harder launch.

AT CLC:
Diversity Incentives
Globalization badges
Peer Review (QM badges, internal, f2f)

Jim Groom Reclaim Your Domain

Aspiring to be positive contributers to future online ecoculture.

Tilde approximately (suggest or refer) linguistic and technical (displays in domain)

Many of us are behind in technology. We're using "trailing edge technology (not emerging).

Geocities, dancing babies, old web --then the LMS...get in the LMS kid and stay there!

YT2 put the fear in us, then there was napster

Missed opportunities.  We ask students to work and play in an environment they'll never work or play in again.

Culture and Comunity

Open education experience

Experimentally, artistically,


Gifs

As universities we are failing to provide open space, infrastructure for their own future and bridge that with domain



We need more with digital literacy.

Facebook, google analytics

Why don't we have student-central/centric systems (they close at the end of individual classes)

Make students system administers of their own digital education/portfolio

Fostering Interaction and Building Community in the Technosocial Classroom

Anthing that relies on some element of social media or technology for interaction

Institutions 9.7 only now consider online non-essential

7.1 million students taking online courses in 2013

Stereotype that Online is disconnected
So look at Community and Interactivity

Students How are they using Technology

Students have more information available and their "landscape" is changing (twitter, chrome, facebook)

What's the value in online community
Greater odds that learning objectives will be achieved if there is "community" online, connection to students and to teacher--foster interaction

See class as a living thing

Clarity of Design, Balnaced Collaboration Integration of Social Media

Scaffolding static engagment=passive
High dynamic + Collabourative better

Students want sense of inclusion emotional connection Among Students

Individual projects vs Group Assignments of Varying "weight"

Culture of Reflection paper by Karen Swan

Service-based (more like commercial based) networks

Pro-students usually already know how to use them

con-not customizable

Have a Facbook or Twitter private page

Use a class hashtag (specific enough but doesn't overlap with others already out there)

Google hangout

Instructor built networks (wordpress, Google Apps)

Pro highly customizable

Con relies on student familarity of technology

ie use for student portfolios
Free if google user

Google sites

Limited and templated but pretty deep for supplemental site

Box (highly recommended) for document sharing/editing/group projects
Google Drive, Dropbox


Student Interaction

Multimedia Beyond the Click

Students are already living in multimedia

What's driving multimedia: Gaming

Stmulation works.  Recognize where they are, a flat-classroom doesn't match how they frame the world.

Law of reinforcement
Law of emotional learning
