#ETMOOC Considerazioni finali

#ETMOOC 2013 è arrivato a destinazione, è giunto il momento di fare un bilancio dell’esperienza complessiva valutando gli apprendimenti e riflettendo su quanto è stato particolarmente significativo.

La prima considerazione riguarda l’atteggiamento che ho avuto nei confronti di questo mooc. Rispetto ai precedenti ritengo di aver agito con maggiore indipendenza avendo convogliato l’attenzione principalmente verso quegli stimoli e quelle proposte che più mi hanno coinvolto, avendo permesso il perseguimento degli obiettivi inizialmente individuati e, al contempo, e  le opportunità  di un apprendimento generato dalle immancabili sorprese che un cMooc solitamente riserva.…

Warning: Under Construction … for the next several years

What is #ETMOOC

Time has flown by once again and #etmooc is coming to an end. When I first started to read the posts and tweets about the course ending, I thought, “Wait, already!? No, not yet!” I couldn’t believe we had reached the last week, which meant it was time for closing thoughts and reflections.…

“…totally uncharted territory.”

#IntroGuitar Performance Day

Something that I haven’t given as much blog attention here as I would have liked so far this semester is the vibrant community that has sprung up around our school’s Introduction to Guitar class. Having had students post their work regularly to a wiki site in past years, I wanted to incorporate some of the design lessons I learned in #Philosophy12 and create a site that could function as a hub of creation, collaboration, and community that would serve not only our school’s face-to-face guitar students, but also offer wayfinding musicians on the open web a place to play, learn, and offer their own expertise to one another.…
