Will Richardson said something during his blackboard collaborate session T3S3 – The Challenges & Opportunities of Modern Learning which struck a chord with me. Something I hadn’t realised that I had already embraced and something that I can now identify that frustrates me when I am supporting other teachers’ learning.…
Open Introductions: #etmooc, Open Education Week, Wikinomics, and Murmuration
Trainer-teacher-learners worldwide are on the cusp of a magnificent collaborative opportunity: participation in Open Education Week, which runs from Monday – Friday, March 11-15, 2013. Ostensibly for those involved in formal academic education programs, this is an opportunity that should appeal to anyone involved in the numerous entities comprising our global learning environment: K-12 schools; colleges, universities, and trade schools; libraries; museums; workplace learning and performance (staff training) programs; professional associations and organizations like the American Society for Training & Development (ASTD), the American Library Association, and the New Media Consortium ; and many others.…
More Etmooc Musings
One thing I have really enjoyed about etmooc is the connections that I am making with passionate educators in Alberta and around the globe.
The current theme in etmooc is The Open Movement – Open Access, OERs & Future of Ed.…
ET + PLC = 21st Century Learning on a Different Level
So, I took this class on teacher leadership and have a colleague taking a similar course this month and we got to thinking; why isn’t there a professional learning community in this damned building? His focus is administration, mine is educational technology, we know what we need to have happen. …
Adaptability to Online Education: Replacing Failure with Success
Those of us engaged in and stimulated by #etmooc (an online Educational Technology & Media course) and other training-teaching-earning endeavors already have plenty of evidence that the best online learning offerings can produce results at least as good as what comes out of the best face-to-face learning.…
TALONS Panel: Open High School Learning
I had the great pleasure this morning to speak with TALONS alumni Liam St. Louis, Jonathan Toews, Clayton Dowdell, Megan Edmunds, Zoe Fajber and Iris Hung (along with Verena Roberts & the #ETMOOC crowd via Google Hangout) about the experiments and experiences in Open Learning we’ve embarked on in their four years at Gleneagle.…

International Women’s Day – a reason for hope!
Today is International Women’s Day and despite these sobering facts that have been popping up on my social media feeds, I’m still feeling hopeful:
- “Women birth 100% of the world’s population, do 66% of work, produce 50% of food but earn 10% of income & own 1% of the property.”
Transdisciplinarity, Probability, and #etmooc
From time to time, I uncover a book that reshapes my thinking. Over the past several years, Deleuze and Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus and Edgar Morin’s On Complexity have done that for me. I find that my head is reshaped as I read and reread the books and then write about them, arranging the ideas that bloom like fresh flowers among the ideas that I already have, weaving together the roots …
