Re: Meeting this Friday

Hi again,

Owen is right that this only needs to be worked out for fall, so I'll hold off on this for now and see what we think about the future of Moodle in the ELP.

Dear C3 ers,

I am kind of leery of Moodle entering too much into the brief for C3, but I also wonder whether it is the right time to revisit this now, when (I guess) most teachers are already set up. Can we schedule this discussion prior to startup next semester?

My 2 bits,

Owen.

This is a reminder that we are meeting again this Friday at 11:30.  I was thinking of asking Kobayashi-san to join us if she is free then to discuss Moodle course creation options. Does that sound OK to the rest of you?

Re: Meeting this Friday

Inviting Kobayashi-san sounds good to me.
Will we give her a list of questions in advance?

-When will Blackboard be cancelled?
-Could the ELP Moodle meta-course(?) have autonomy for creating courses?
-What kind of IT education does the ILC provide to freshmen?
-What requests does she have for the ELP?

Mark

Re: Fwd from Owen 23 Things+: RSS

Thanks, Owen.

I'm slowly working on getting my Google Reader configured and I have subscribed to the Commoncraft site.  The video may be a good one to share down the road with all the ELP.

Cheers,

Bill

One of the challenges of information growth is finding new models/ways to stay current. RSS (Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication) is a very useful approach to staying current with content. If aggregation, syndication, RSS, and such make roughly no sense to you, here's a nice, simple intro: http://www.commoncraft.com/rss_plain_english

Re: NP recording question

Hi Mark,

No, I didn't, but they were added by someone to the original video that didn't have them.  It really does look like a great way to liven up materials for our students.

Hi everyone,

I have looked into this and used it to post something to our  C3 blog.  I'm not sure how well this would work with homemade videos, but it certainly has great entertainment potential.

Yaji-san has communicated to me that there have been some problems using the recording equipment provided by ILC for making MP3 files of NP lectures.  Currently we record on both cassette audio tape and an MP3 machine borrowed from ILC.   As I understand it, Sylvan has suggested that we use an iPOD instead and plans to test this out on a borrowed iPOD next time.  The system now is that  MP3 files are posted on the ELP website for students to download and the cassette tapes are made available through ILC for students who want that format.

My question is whether there are any other ways we should consider making this kind of material available to students. For example, would it be better to stream the lectures rather than having students download them?  Would digital video recording (and streaming) be possible? 

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Embedded video practicing

I'm trying out Owen's referral to the Mojiti site and seeing what I can do. If this works, I think you will enjoy the video.

Re: NP recording question

Dear Sylvan & C3,

As well as Splashcast, yesterday via Stephen Downes:

Mojiti allows you to access online videos from any number of sources, annotate them with scribbling or cartoon voice bubbles, and then post the resulting mash-up to a video site.

http://mojiti.com/

The addition of annotation is especially interesting & cartoon voice bubbles might complement in some way the ELP Reader cartoons Sylvan is working on.

Re: NP recording question

Hi C3 ers,

From their site:

The SplashCast service enables anyone to create streaming media 'channels' that mix together video, music, photos, narration, text, as well as RSS feeds, PowerPoint presentations and PDF documents. These user-generated channels can be played and easily syndicated on any web site, blog, or social network page. When channel owners modify their channel, their content is automatically updated across all the web pages 'tuned' to that channel.

What I really like about this service is that once all students have their own PLE (a blog, say) they can subscribe to the ELP channel and get automatic updates to their blog of everything the ELP publishes (teachers and students?). Until then, the NP video can be embedded in the ELP students' website and students can watch the streamed channel and/or download it to their video or audio-only ipod (or other) for viewing/listening on demand.

Best,

Owen

Test posting from googledocs to C3 blog.

Teaching and learning 2.0

Lunch over IP: "Don't speak. Point!" - Three ingredients of the future of journalism

• This is about journalism, but I think it applies to education and communication in general.
  
• I am also doing this to learn about posting directly to blogs from web sites that I browse through using Diigo

Re: Web site of interest

Dear C3 ers,

I believe a natural extension of each of us completing 23 Things is the gradual development of own personal learning enviroment, each ple connecting to the next, and in the future an ELP-wide network of individual 'presences'. In this scenario, the ELP teachers' site is (in large part) an aggregation of personal learning environments. And personal ownership rather than institutional ownership, and practice (or methodolgy) rather than particular technolgies are key attributes.

Please tell me if I am not making sense?

23 Things

Dear C3ers,

I think this could be interesting and valuable for C3. It would help us learn some of the fundamentals of connecting to others, information sources, and other services (like calendars) for our own professional development, teaching, and administering the ELP.

http://www.wired.com/culture/education/news/2007/03/learning2_0

It is only starting point, but could be a step towards meeting some of the issues Chris Sessums mentions:

Best,

Owen.

Re: 23 Things

Hi Owen,

Thanks for these references.  As I look at the free email sites, it seems that they may not be the best way to go. My concern is that the email addresses are deleted after a very short time.  This might allow the initial creation of a google account, but I doubt that the account would work well after the email was deleted.

I think at this point, the best way to host a google calendar for the department that would be transferable to other ELP administrators over time is to use the elp-director alias created by ILC. I can pass along the password for the google account created under that alias to anyone who replaces me, thus avoiding the need to start a new calendar. ILC can also replace my email as a member of the alias.

This central ELP google account could also be used for services other than the calendar, but I'll have to think some more about how that would be managed....

Cheers,

Bill

some and see if any problems fall out.

I'm open to having a meeting again fairly soon.

Ms. Kobayashi seemed eager to meet with us, so it may be good to see
when is good for her too.

Another meeting

I know that this is a busy time for everyone and I therefore appreciate the alacrity with which you have all followed up in various ways on our first meeting of C3.  We appear to have managed to share calendars, which is the good news.  The bad news is that it looks like we won't all be available at the same time again for a meeting until November 3, 2009!

For the time being, we can all continue work on our 23 things, but there are two items that we need to report on by the end of this term that will probably require some meeting time for us:

A plan for the use of IT (A 5.1.1 in the Strategic Plan) and a plan for materials and equipment acquisition (A 5.2.1).

Our regularly scheduled ELP meetings will be on April 24 and May 29 with the retreat on May 18.  I suggest that we plan to have a report for the May 29th meeting and hope that the exploration of visions and values at the retreat will help inform that report. 

So, how do your all feel about trying to schedule meetings this term?  We do have most Tuesdays 3rd and 4th plus Friday 3rd and Friday 1st on many Fridays.

Cheers

Bill

Re: 23 Things

Thanks, Owen. 

As part of my homework I've been thinking more about how to manage an ELP calendar.  You suggested the possibility of setting up an account using an email account that would be for the ELP rather than a specific person.  This would allow for changes in personnel without needing to start over with a new calendar each time.  My question is: how do we set up such an email account?  Is this something we would need to request through ILC?

Cheers,

Bill

Hi,

Here are our notes from today's meeting. Feel free to edit away.

Bill

Meeting Notes for the C3 community meeting, 4/6/07

Bill shared some discussion notes to  begin the meeting:

C³ Charge:  Improve communication, collaboration and connectivity within the ELP and between the ELP and our professional colleagues.
 

Major tasks:

 

1. Develop a comprehensive communications and networking plan for the ELP including use of IT for organizational and pedagogical purposes. (A 5.1.1)

 

2. Materials and equipment purchase plan (A 5.2.1)

 

Additional considerations:

 

1. Moodle/blackboard management.

 

 

2. Calendaring and meeting room reservations

 

 

3. Teachers Site including student photos

Our discussion was wide-ranging, but some highlights included:

We need to establish a process for both learning about, developing and propogating C3 practices and tools.

We may want to be mindful of the distinction between a "community of practice" and a "community for practice"  The former tends toward prescribing best practice within a group or organization and the latter tends toward a shared process of trial-and-error to see what works best within the organization.

Our charge involves much more than IT-related tools, we need to look at other C3 aspects such as meetings and how they are used, lounges that may invite more communication, retreats, etc.

We need to look at ways to reduce or at least change the nature of our dependence on external units such as ILC, which can add constraints and limit how we connect to each other and our students.

Some conclusions and decisions:

1. Mark volunteered to handle the coordination of course creation requests for Moodle and BB this term.  However, we hope to eliminate this function in future by requesting ILC to set up a system that would allow all ELP teachers to directly create their own courses.  This may be best dealt with by getting ILC to create a metacourse with all ELP teachers able to create sub-courses within it.  We will work with Kobayashi-san and Tomita-san on this.

2. We will explore the idea of the C3 members undertaking a sort of self-study course based on a "23 things" model that Owen will share with us.

3. Bill agreed to set up (with Owens guidance) a preliminary communication protocol for C3 that we can use for the distribution of meeting notes and other documents.  The idea is to create a C3 blog as well as a C3 group in Googlegroups.  This will allow any emails sent to the C3 group to go to each member as well as get posted on the blog.  The blog will be available as a record of our work that we and others in the ELP can refer to.  An added feature is that by using Google docs and spreadsheets to create documents they can be up-dated by anyone in the group.  Therefore, please feel free to edit and correct, these notes as part of that functionality.

4. We all agreed to make an attempt to share our calendars to see what issues that raises.
