Learning mainly
I just realised I had not posted this videoo on the site. This is the PR video for the Moodle trial, 1,700 odd views at of today.
The trial is now in week 7, and I am still unsure how to answer the question “How is it going?” We are having a lot of fun, have [...]
Another not an FOC08 post. But I did see Leigh last week (at the Beach in Dunedin) and at the DEANZ conference in Wellington.
I’d have liked to do another full on workshop here on the bounded community & community issues, but there was not time and I was too late to see about negotiating this.
I [...]
Not an FOC08 Post. Well I guess it had to happen. My wife went back to drinking coffee a while back after a break of 20 or so years. She has now escalated her intake. Once a single cup, now the cups are mega.
Mark still makes a perfect latte or long black each morning. He [...]
Today I got rid of 400 or so folders, organised a GIG of files and proceeded one more step along the road to having my files sorted, which at the moment are over 40 GIG, down from 100. I discovered an old report I wrote on my first serious online workshop, written in week [...]
I’m a little tired. Two nights out with the kids, Music with Mark at Burnside High School (where we made over $90 in the 15 minute interval selling drink and chips) and Drama/dance with Anna. I was so tired last night I probablyu could have fallen asleep. And my wrists are playing up a little. [...]
The homework for this week: “Write a post to your blog with your thoughts about the meaning of an online community and its uses. Include a list of identifying features that YOU would look for when assessing an online group or network for features which make it a community”
I’ve said in another post “I know [...]
Diane Holmes has coined a new word: blogbleary. I think I felt that way a little last night. Just getting the feel for a few of the FOC08 blogs.
Greg Barcelon has quite a nice post on his ideas on networks > groups > teams > communities. He also references the superb little summary at Cheryl’s [...]
Wednesday’s post
[I'm sorry to my three regular readers to divert a little into Facilitating Online Communities course comment]
The questions – some of the big and some of the small
Blogs or forums?
Do I go back into facebook?
From Peter: I have no experience with Diigo rooms, and I don’t know how many do. I was wondering earlier [...]
The tasks for week one include:
Post to your blog what you hope to get out of this course. Include any concerns or questions you may have.
My expectations
Here, I’m just a dabbler. I enjoy meeting others online, and in fact find the stimulus of others in something like this is quite invigorating. I will tinker along, [...]
Moodle trial is coming along. People ask “Is it going OK?” and I’m often unsure how to answer. What is ‘OK?’
There is a feeling, often expressed among the participant lecturers “I’m not really doing much, just using the basics”. I came in today for the first time this term to find NO e-mails about things [...]
