Check out the other Scoop.its that Teaching, Learning & developing with Technology has been following since December 16, 2011 - nice list here Larry Ferlazzo has just revised and updated his Best Sites Where Students Can Plan Virtual Trips. I might use this one myself ... 
Online artifacts including slide show and recording of Vance Stevens live from Marakkech Keynote speech entitled Learner-centred do-it-yourself Learning Management Systems presented on-site at the IATEFL Learning Technologies SIG http://ltsig.org.uk/ conference in Marrakech Morocco February 8, 2012 
Learning together on Sunday Feb 5 from noon to 16:00 GMT coincides with CO12, the 4th annual Connecting Online free conference Do Open Online Courses really mess you up? https://twitter.com/#!/gsiemens/status/161497712037085184 Well, this course was all the rage when we were doing EduMOOC last summer. What's happened to Sebastian Thrun? 
Thanks to Eric Stockmeyer for this one: "Literacy and fluency* have to do with our ability to use a technology to achieve a desired outcome in a situation using the technologies that are available to us. A literate person is perfectly capable of using digital tools. They know how to use them and what to do with them, but the outcome is less likely to match their intention. It is not until that person reaches a level of fluency, however, that they are comfortable with when to use the tools to achieve the desired outcome, and even why the tools they are using are likely to have the desired outcome at all." This one seems to be going viral today: "The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students. The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, constructive, goal directed (i.e., reflective), authentic, and collaborative (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003). The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells as illustrated ... " Reminds me of Bloom's Revised Taxonomy 
Thanks to Vanessa Vaile for recommending this one: "Transliteracy is the ability to read, write and interact across a range of platforms, tools and media from signing and orality through handwriting, print, TV, radio and film, to digital social networks." 
Research in Learning Technology is the journal of the Association for Learning Technology. It aims to raise the profile of research in learning technology, encouraging research that informs good practice and contributes to the development of policy. The journal publishes papers concerning the use of technology in learning and teaching in all sectors of education, as well as in industry.
Open Access – Research in Learning Technology is free from all access barriers, allowing for global dissemination of your work. 
Hot off the presses, Sean Dowling models multiliterate approches to LMS in his TESL-EJ On the Internet article for September 2011–Volume 15, Number 2 - Web-based learning: Moving from learning islands to learning environments. And thanks to Ana for the tweet: 
Just a month to go before this course goes live once again in EVO Electronic Village Online, free, online, interconnected teacher professional development Thanks to Robyn Albers for this one, and Ana for tweeting: http://twitter.com/#!/AnaCristinaPrts/status/116574639970467840. Words of wisdom on learning through MOOCs: "The first few weeks of an open online course are the most disorienting. As a learner, you approach the course with expectations that have been defined by previous learning experiences. You look for readings, you look for the discussion space, and you look to the instructor to detail the content that you need to learn and how you will be evaluated. Let go of those expectations. An open online course is quite different. You create your own spaces of interaction ..." Here's a F.U.N. option for a Me-Portfolio, consider keeping one in the format of a cartoon strip - just an idea :-) |
This post is a nice follow-on to Dave Cormier's Change 2011 talk on rhizomatic learning which I mentioned here: http://multiliteracies.posterous.com/moocing-about-for-week-3-in-evo-multiliteraci - It talks about "Deleuze and Guattari's 1980 publication A Thousand Plateaus might offer us some clues. It was hailed by some as a masterpiece of post-modernist 'nomadic' writing. Others criticised it for its dense, pseudo-scientific prose. Whichever way you view this book however, it was notable for introducing rhizome theory as a metaphor for knowledge representation. According to Deleuze and Guattari, rhizomes are unlike any other kind of root system, having no beginning and no end. Rhizomes don't follow the rules of normal root systems, because they resist organisational structure and chronology, 'favouring a nomadic system of growth and propagation.' " Fills in the circle with digital nomads again, http://www.scoop.it/t/multiliteracies/p/1057917993/week-09-dave-cormier-change11

This is a good starter recording for http://change.MOOC.ca, Dave Cormier on Nov 8, 2011 eliciting and discussing what aspects of education are meant to change as a result of #change11 and Rhizomatic Learning, which "has as its goal the creation of [digital] nomads." I added the word 'digital' - (sorry Dave, couldn't resist). The Elluminate show can be viewed here: https://sas.elluminate.com/site/external/jwsdetect/playback.jnlp?psid=2011-11-08.0738.M.3A0EAE843895F0175E240FB3B50AA6.vcr&sid=2008104 or just download the audio from EdRadio here: http://change.mooc.ca/files/audio/change11_08Nov2011.mp3

Prezi on Bloom's Revised Taxonomy
http://prezi.com/gb4mbz9vg7hg/blooms/ is a Nice Prezi by Joshua Coupal from 17 July 2009 examining Lorin Anderson and David Krathwohl's 2001 revision of Bloom's Taxonomy http://books.google.com/books/about/A_taxonomy_for_learning_teaching_and_ass.html?id=JPkXAQAAMAAJ. Here, Kathy Schrock matches Google tools with Bloom's Revised Taxonomy http://kathyschrock.net/googleblooms/. There's another page with Bloom's links here http://www.kurwongbss.eq.edu.au/thinking/Bloom/blooms.htm Hear Joyce Valenza talk about transliteracies here in an intervew with the Ed Tech Crew. Hear her discuss the concept in this short sound bite: http://goodbyegutenberg.pbworks.com/w/file/49163002/EDTECHCREW172valenza.mp3 
Paul Allison posts a remarkable podcast on P2PU (Peer-to-peer University), some OER open educational resources available there and elsewhere, on fair use and creative commons and associated literacies, and rethinking the nature of learning from PLNs - and importantly who drives 'what to learn' - in an increasingly connected world. From the Drupal site: Open Education Resources (OER) are teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use or re-purposing by others. Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge. I listened to this one twice, especially this: http://goodbyegutenberg.pbworks.com/w/file/fetch/49793825/KarenFasimpaurTeachers273-2011-11-23.mp3
Thanks Mixmaxmin for your support :-)
Thanks @tamaslorincz 
Thanks to Nina Liakos in Webheads http://webheads.info for this interesting perspective on the mindsets of college students by class year in terms of the zeitgeist they grew up in and what they consider normal in technology, hence their multiliterate make-up. 
As an example of how Twitter works as a media stream for a PLN, I got this off Terry Freedman just now. Talk about fishing! Good catch! (thanks Twitter :-) |
