Caught in the EdWeb

​This week I explored other open sources of information about some popular Google apps.   I turned to my new favourite source for professional development…..edWeb.  EdWeb (www.edweb.net) is a site that curates professional learning communities on several teaching related topics, including technology.

Perhaps a Poet

Everyone has heard of copyright.  And if we are to be honest, all of us have broken it.  Copyleft (gotta love the spoof on the term copyright)  appears to be an ingenious method of acknowledging the original work of the creator while allowing for the inspiration of further works based on it.

Week 2: Smart Phone GPS & Project Goals

  1. I went back to the ESRI website to see if I could find out how much it would cost to download the Arc GIS program and it looks like I have to ask for a quote, but I found that I could open a free public account where I can create, store and manage maps, apps and data, and share data with others as long it was personal and not for commercial purposes.

Last night I went along to TeachMeet Glasgow.

As Athole wrote:

Why unplugged? We want everyone to be prepared with something to share. And not to worry too much about the tech and their PPT slides.

Scottish Open Education Declaration 1.0 @ #tmglasgow

I am going along to TeachMeet Glasgowthis evening. I’ll be giving a two minute nano presentation. Not because I know a lot about the topic but because I think it is one that we should be thinking more about.

Given two minutes I’ll not be doing more than saying I think this is important and pointing to some resources.…

And the Winner Is…

Choosing what to focus on for my individual learning project was not easy.  Once I opened my mind to the possibilities I was flooded with ideas.  I could study French, my ancestral language that for political and personal reasons my father never spoke to me.

www.raspberrypi.org/help

www.raspberrypi.org is where I started. I went to the website and after looking around on the homepage, I decided to click on the ‘help’ menu. I found a number of nice, short videos on all sorts of different things. Most importantly, I found a video titled “Quick Start Guide” and after watching it, I discovered I needed NOOBS.

​Quality of Open Educational Resources

There are no “textbooks” available for one of the courses I teach as a sessional instructor in the Department Fisheries and Aquaculture at VIU and the resources I use in my classes are up to my discretion. This presents both a burden and an opportunity in the development and delivery of the course and I have embraced open resources as they have become available.
