Yet another reading.
JISC (2009) Higher Education in Web 2.0 world
Have been in general conversation over the last little while, the main topic being the readings we have been given... Over a video chat we had this morning we spoke on what would it be like doing a reading and commenting over collaberatively using a video link as the medium? Some times talking about this live with another raises a different perspective.
Supposedly assessment one has a part in it that asks us to do: 10 blog posts that begins to document your pedagogical journey. It is my belief that this has been now slightly modified to read: blog on 10 readings... I used to coach rugby for about 6 years and one thing you learnt being a coach was never change the goal post settings. If you want the team to score, achieve the goal, then the playing feild and the rules should be on the level.
So moving on what's in a blog post, or what can be a blog post?
I see that in the body part I can...
There is available in a blog a variation of mediums, other than plan text, insert link, images, insert video, insert audio...
Scott and I have firstly video chatted and as we are both social animals we thought both along the lines of... doing the same reading for a set length of time... then connecting up through a video chat, and videoing this as it occurs... then uploading this to Youtube... then inserting this video into our blog and both then submitting this as one of our blog posts.
We video chatted for an hour or two over what might be the immplications in a learning environment of this behaviour, how this chatting can help in creating knowledge as well as how this might be assessed... plus many other thoughts that spring to mind...
Isn't great being able to learn in a save environment that we have created for us to learn in?
The report from..... in its execuative summary states
Essentially, these are Web 2.0 or Social Web technologies, technologies that enable communication, collaboration, participation and sharing. (p5).
