Team 2 has decided that we will reflect on each lesson in the "comment" section of this post. Each member will add content throughout the lesson as we grow and learn in each lesson. We felt that this would foster communication and collaboration in each lesson.
This is going to be short and sweet. I struggled most this lesson witht he discussion. I felt like I was all over the place looking for discussions and participating in them. With that being said, I did enjoy the fact that I could see past postings from previous semesters. That was very helpful!
ReplyDeleteI didn't really feel like this week was a discussion at all but a checklist of posting things in different places. I didn't feel like I was interacting with the community except for posting a comment to Mark's post on our group blog. I guess I'm just not into RSSing and tweeting.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me started on my frustrations with the unit.
Thanks for sharing your Lesson 6 blog reflection with me!
ReplyDeleteMulti-dimensional discussions with the integrations of Google Reader, Nabble, Delicious, Twitter, and Blog are an emerging ONLE/PLE instructional strategy. We may not fully learn from this post-modern discussion format but it is a combination of designs with ONLE and PLE. Traditional online discussions does not allow learners to organize their learning activity. With multi-dimensional network discussions, we do not need to visit each discussion area but we can monitor the discussion in one central location (Google Reader).
We may feel overwhelmed by multiple tools applied. If we use traditional online discussion mindset, multi-dimensional discussions would be complete disorganized. However, if we shift our mind to PLE mindset, as learners we have more control over the discussion activities. In other words, if we want simple discussion, traditional online discussions would be better. If we are looking for effective and true learner-centered discussions, multi-dimensional discussions would be more inspiring.
Now we finished our ONLE unit and are reviewing our classmates’ ONLE units. I would like to remind us four components of technology integration instructions for ONLE: content; technology; instructional strategies; and assessments. Don’t forget to use these four components to evaluate units in additional Connectivism’s principles, such as UGC, meshup, social networking etc., particularly are there any UGC instructional strategies, other ONLE instructional strategies, and assessment applied?
Your group has done a great work in out class. This is a very challenging course. I hope your group has seen the value of "network" collaboration and learning, not just "online" collaboration and learning. Your group should be proud of yourself.
