sorry I missed our question for tonight :-) what is it?
10 hours ago
Does blended learning make sense when face to face is practical?
10 hours ago
 
thanks John
10 hours ago
relates to blended learning (i.e. how to engage f2f learners in online activities?) or something like that
10 hours ago
 
I think there's a difference between posting what you're doing/learning and participating in a discussion about it.

blended learning can be a good fall back for emergencies -- snow days, etc
10 hours ago
@vanessa ... interesting point, too ... for a "need"
10 hours ago
 
love Jeff's description! that makes sense to me :-)

I live in a rural mountain area -- sometimes roads are closed
10 hours ago
 
Perhaps the "meet ups" that some online courses encourage would fulfill the "blended" aspect?
10 hours ago
 
Yes
10 hours ago
 
I have done a reverse blended setting ... internatinally
10 hours ago
 
hahaha! razz Dave time...
10 hours ago
 
where we started out face to face and then went to online, then back to f2f and then online ... ending with a f2f
10 hours ago
 
fascinating Carol :-)

And the students i worked with much preferred, even strongly requested, f2f .. middle east fols like the up close and personal approaches

Carol, interesting point about meetup adding blended element to online. I have seen the definition change more than once since late 90s

I teach a course at UNH f2f and have tried to add online components. They are reluctant to try much; including a listserv to ask questions privately to the group. So odd to me.
10 hours ago
 
what are the age of the students Sheila? are they teachers?
10 hours ago
 
I also worked with adults in a f2f and they did not want to go to any online structures ... said they had enough with their work situations ... strong resistance
10 hours ago
Sheila
  
 
 
Interns (20 yr old) to experienced teachers (60 years old)
10 hours ago
 
interesting! do you see any difference in those age groups for willingness to try online?
10 hours ago
Vanessa Vaile
I worked with UC Davis undergrads all computer wiser than I -- they took to it, taught me a lot too
10 hours ago
 
I love google moderator :-)
10 hours ago
 
it's a great way to create/find topics to discuss
10 hours ago
 
we have used it to help introduce topics for EdCamps
10 hours ago
Vanessa Vaile
then in a rural community college, mixed non-traditional and recent HS/GED grads ~ needed skills, resisted but came around
10 hours ago
 
:-)
10 hours ago
Sheila
  
 
 
Smaller groups communicated but not as a whole group!
10 hours ago
 
It would be a great way to select upcoming questions for this show :-)
10 hours ago
Sheila
  
 
 
They all have email . . . . but not other tools in common.
10 hours ago
 
this was what we used to generate ideas for EdCamp prior to the event http://www.google.com/moderator/#15/e=213fc2&t=213fc2.40
10 hours ago
Vanessa Vaile
I worked with some for whom email was a new adventure -- ground zero
10 hours ago
Was just thinking it would be good for that, Peggy
10 hours ago
 
we didn't pre-select topics from it but it got people thinking before they came for the day
10 hours ago
 
wow Vanessa! surprising and yet I know it's true!
10 hours ago
At our first edcamp, we tried to do a similar thing with backchan.nl.
10 hours ago
Vanessa Vaile
I also used online resources in f2f -- familiarization as a group instead of alone, plus finding interesting things to show them
10 hours ago
 
can they rate questions/topics with backchan.nl??
10 hours ago
yes.
10 hours ago
Vanessa Vaile
Peggy, the most resistant students were usually the ones who said that was the part of the course they got the most out of
10 hours ago
 
that looks great John! Checking it out now :-)
10 hours ago
 
that is exciting Vanessa!!!
10 hours ago
 
Would still like to learn more an=boput social media uses in courses

10 hours ago

10 hours ago
Vanessa Vaile

10 hours ago

10 hours ago

It would be easier if the URL for the live event was posted on the edtechtalk calendar posting :-) hint hint...
10 hours ago
Jeff Lebow
 
edtechtalk.com/live was listed as the 'where'. I've added it to the description as well.
10 hours ago
Jeff Lebow
 
or were you referring to linking to the G+ Event listing?
10 hours ago
 
for me edtechtalk.com/live goes to edtechtalk.com/ttt and not this show. had to add /eduquestion http://edtechtalk.com/live/eduquestion
10 hours ago
 
just a link to the actual live show page (this one) :-)
10 hours ago
Jeff Lebow
 
Depends on the time of week - Forwards to live/educquestion now. Good idea, after changing the studio URL to http://edtechtalk.com/live/ihaq
10 hours ago
Jeff Lebow
 
Done. Thanks for the suggestion.
10 hours ago
 
excellent :-) I tried it right before the show tonight and didn't get to this page.
10 hours ago
 
but I knew how to find you through G+ :-)
10 hours ago
 
that link is perfect!
10 hours ago
Jeff Lebow
 
Fortunately, you always find us :)

IHAQ#5 - Why does Sugata Mitra anger so many educators?

I Have A Question#5
May 4, 2014 
Featured Question:
From +Benjamin L. Stewart     
*Why does Mitra anger so many in education? 

Related Links


Possible Upcoming Questions
 

  • I think it would be interesting to hear about peoples productivity workflow, what are the ways you work? How does tech help or interfere, are there best practices for curating, organizing and how can we best teach students to form good productivity habits online? This is something I think about every day. With so many choices of tools, how do we narrow down the field and choose the essentials that really help us be more productive, better communicators etc.
  • Do the students have a PLN have they mastered social networking; are they prepared to lead others? How are they forming relationships?
  • How do you find out about cool conferences?
  • Why are fewer people participating in free online conferences, webinars and moocs? over saturation or????
  • What potential does social media have for professional development in education?
  • How about the fight to stay relevant or cutting edge in your field? Anyone feel that it's more challenging by the day?

EdTechSomething#0 - The EdTechWeekly Gang Rides Again @Eduquestion

While the EdTechWeekly Show has been 'on hiatus' for quite a while, our  group Skype chat has remained active. Yesterday Dave posted...

I just had an idea for resurrecting edtechtalk...
twitter hashtag #Edneeds (or something better)
use ifttt to automagically get it to post to a wordpress account
carry other tags as category
encourage people (through sharing service on the wordpress) to volunteer answers
do  a weekly review show going over some of the cooler problems/solutions
would take an hour to build
15 minutes of prep before show
done and done

Jen & Jeff were on board right away and John had his curmudgeonly doubts, but we were all quite pleased to gather together again on a Sunday Night/Monday Morning and discussion possibilities.

From Vance's write-up on Learning2gether.net

Alexander Hayes is completing a PhD on wearable technologies.  He feels, in his words, that ”we are on the cusp of a substantial shift in how we consider wearable technologies likely in the next 6 – 24 months … there has been a discernible shift in the “heat” generated from major consortiums now bringing to market technologies that are pervasively poised to radically re-organise what is said, done, remembered and perhaps more importantly re-wired for other parties purposes.

“Google Glass provides us all with a reason to question what it will mean to be interacting with our peers, family and loved ones through the fashion filter of a networked and location aware device. Body worn technologies such as Memoto and Autographer also join the list of data logging devices that we use to monitor and transmit data from our daily activities, either for health awareness, entertainment or myriad of other reasons.”

In this session, members of Webheads in Action, TALO, Worldbridges, and affiliated online communities and thought leaders will discuss the benefits, risks and perhaps harm that may arise with the rollout of second generation intelligent (smart) wearable technologies in our society.
