A Digital Story and A Reflection

I completed the revisions on my first video, what might loosely be called a digital “story”: 

It’s quite hokey and oh so UN-original, but it was fun to do and a good learning experience. It’s about five minutes long, although the final 1:30 of that is an extended credits, mostly because I have a voice-love for Chrissie Hynde, and I wanted to include a bit more of the phrase repetitions in Mystery Achievement than is probably necessary, which, of course, set off the copyright and fair use widget.

Commenting, Part II

To pick up where I left off yesterday:

Personally, one of my primary goals for the ET MOOC is quickly becoming a need to (re)construct my daily learning. I want to think of the engagement in ET MOOC, and the engagement beyond ET MOOC after it’s officially completed, as a part of my daily routine.

Commenting, Part I

I wanted to respond to Sue Waters’ queries:

  1. Has commenting helped your learning?  Yes or No?  Why?
  2. What advice would you give others on commenting?
  3. What else could we do to improve the process?
First, in response to the third question, I would say that there’s really nothing more that you all can do.

This module gives me permission to experiment, to play with software and applications that I normally wouldn’t get a chance or find the time to use.

Measurement/Assessment

To begin with, I don’t like to draft and post on the same day, but I wanted to opine briefly (and probably too quickly) to the question, “Can we measure learning?” 

First, as Dave pointed out, “measure” is a loaded term.

(Re)Circulation

As I posted yesterday, I was only able to watch Dave Shareski’s session on Sunday, and his reference to a response from Stephen Downes has been banging around in my subconscious ever since, and it finally bubbled its way to the surface this morning.

Adjustments

Well, I didn’t finish a video. Didn’t even actually get it started. But after some great advice from Christina and  Sue, I decided to focus on prepping for class today. I did listen to Dean Shareski’s session yesterday morning before starting work, while I puttered around my desktop (and his Sharing video is in my Pocket).…
