Hi Mark,

This looks great. Many good tips for my own use of Reader, too!

The only thing that I might want to see added is how to organize Reader by using folders.

Hi Bill, Dave, Ged and Hiroshi,
I was feeling like I hadn't done much for C3 recently, so I drafted a possible newsletter blurb on Reader. Hope you'll let me know what you think.
-------------------------------------

Have you looked at your Google Reader recently? It can take a little practice to get familiar with it, but you will find it useful as more and more ELP documents go online.

When you are in Gmail, one of the links at the top of the page along with Calendar and Documents is Reader. Try clicking on that if you haven't recently.

A Reader is a tool that helps you get automatic updates from web resources such as news sites or blogs or other services like Delicious.

Here's a 1-minute video that explains the Reader.

In your Reader in the lower left side under Subscriptions, you probably already have a list of ELP folders such as ARW or RCA which you installed during a C3 training session. If you click on these, you are seeing a database of online ELP resources that is constantly being updated.

For example, if you want to look for TW ideas in general, you can click on the TW folder and feed named "elptw". You'll see a bunch of links and Google Docs for TW. Since there are many resources, the best way to filter through them is to use the Search box at the top. You can search through all items, or just one folder by using the pull-down menu next to the box. Try searching for "syllabus" in the TW folder to see a variety of syllabus docs other teachers have shared.

Of course you can also subscribe to other useful sites such as Academic Commons or your friend's blogs. Here's info on how to subscribe.

Also, if you want to upgrade your Google Reader, we recommend installing the Better Google Reader add-on for your Firefox browser. Just click here and install. You'll like it.

Of course, if you have questions, just ask a C3 person like Bill, Dave, Ged, Mark or Hiroshi or others like Rab who use their Reader.

Any ideas for adding or simplifying? Please let me know.

Re: C3 Newsletter draft: Using Google Reader

Hi Mark,

This looks very good to me. My only comment is whether we should remind everyone about how to tag sites and googledocs in Delicious so that they can contribute to the Reader. Maybe that can be a follow-up newsletter article?

Can you post your article when you are ready?

Cheers,

Bill

Re: More follow up to our last meeting

That looks very good, Bill. Nice tips! I didn't know about the landscape issue.

I don't see any need for revision, but it may be good to add something about what to do when the Print button does not respond. This seems to occur sometimes (Is it just me?), so what I do is go to Print Settings and click Print from there. That usually (though not always) seems to solve it. I added a 3rd point below about that.

For ideas on future articles, I would say...we did Gmail and Gdocs, so next could be something on GReader or Delicious, sort of a refresher on how Delicious plays a role in our system. I'd be happy to work something up if that seems good.

Also, are we set for mentor/mentee groups?

Hello all,

As you will have noticed, I have kicked off the weekly C3 newsletter with short tips on using C3 tools. I have another posting drafted and would like any feedback you have on it.

Here are some tips on printing Googledocs:

1. Under "Print Settings" (which is found by clicking "File") you can adjust the size of top, bottom, left and right margins. By decreasing the margins you can fit more onto a page, often reducing the number of pages needed for the document. Also under "Print Settings" you can choose "Portrait" or "Landscape", and the paper size. Selecting "A4" should give you a little more space on the page than "Letter". Print Settings is also where you can select whether and where to print page numbers. Note that if you have selected "Landscape" in the Googledoc print settings, you also need to select Landscape in your printer options before you print.

2. Under "Insert" you can select "Page Break (for printing)" This will show up as a faint line in your document on the screen. When you print the document, a new page will start just below the Page Break line. To remove a page break from a document, point the cursor on the line, then right click your mouse and choose "delete."

3. If the Print button does not seem to respond, it is best to go to Print Settings as explained above and print from the print settings menu.

If anyone has ideas for future posts, please let me know.

Thanks,

Bill

Hi Bill and Mark,

I apologize profusely for my much delayed response.

Here's my quick feedback, for what it's worth.

1. I agree with Mark that the tip of the week article looks very useful.

2. I haven't filled out the Can Do list yet but I think the idea is very good and I will fill it out sometime very soon (though I have to admit that I'll probably have a much shorter list of WTs (willing to teach) than other C3ers, an issue I need to address myself).

3. I think the list of "mentee" groups that Mark has come up with looks good. I'm at least comfortable with my group, although I'm also willing to work with anyone else as needed. (I've been working with some of the RCA teachers about using G-docs for tutorial appointments, managing Google Groups, etc.)

4. I have no problem with the unveiling of the "helpicu" account.

See you in the ELP Meeting!

Hiroshi

Hi Bill,

1. I think the tip of the week article looks very good.

2. I'm guessing we will get a clearer idea of how to develop and use the "Can Do" list as we support the staff we are in charge of. I'd be happy to work on it one more step, especially to add links to the list so that users can click on the skill and get more info about it.

3. Which staff we will work with - Just to get the discussion going, I guess one possible way is to tentatively divide by ARW programs and RCA floors and then swap members as needed. How does the following look?

Bill RCA 2nd floor - Kota, Atsuko T, Kumi, Akiko, Asako
Hiroshi RCA 3rd floor - Mikiko, Masuko, Izumi, Atsuko
Ged Prog. C ARW - Ken, Mike, Paul, Rob
Dave Prog. B ARW - Susan, Steve, Lynn, Miguel, Jim, Rab
Mark Program A ARW - Crystabel, Audrey, Chris Hale, Chris Hoskins, Sylvan

My group seems good to me, but I'm happy to mentor many of the RCA teachers on the 2nd floor too.

4. Unveiling helpicu / ihelpicu -- I think there is no problem to telling people about it, but I wonder if it may be a bit abstract for most people to understand? An email sent just before or after the announcement might be helpful to show in writing what it can be used for and lead people to try it and poke around.

Hi again,

1. Here is a revised draft of the first C3 tip of the week blog we talked about starting:

This is the first posting of what we plan to be a regular (roughly weekly) series of tips, suggestions and helpful ideas related to the ELP C3 Plan. It will also serve as a place where all members of the ELP can post related comments or questions. Each new post will automatically be sent out as an email to the ELP googlegroup. If you want to comment on the posts, or ask questions. Please visit the blog at http://elpc3news.blogspot.com/

Tip of the week on using Gmail: check out this link to the Gmail ninja site that Rab has included in the CM course materials this term. It has good tips for everyone from the novice (white belt) to the Gmail Master (imagine a cross between Rab and Yoda).

Thanks,

C3

2. I haven't received any feedback on the proposed "I can do list" (see minutes of our last meeting) except from Mark. Do we want to go forward with this either as a personal checklist we use with people we work with or as a public spreadsheet as Mark has proposed?

3. Is anyone interested in taking on the job of deciding on which ELP staff we will work with?

4. I would like to officially unveil "helpicu" at the ELP meeting on 9/29. Does anyone object to that and or have suggestions on how best to do it?

Thanks!

Re: More follow up to our last meeting

Hi Bill and Mark,

I apologize profusely for my much delayed response.

Here's my quick feedback, for what it's worth.

1. I agree with Mark that the tip of the week article looks very useful.

2. I haven't filled out the Can Do list yet but I think the idea is very good and I will fill it out sometime very soon (though I have to admit that I'll probably have a much shorter list of WTs (willing to teach) than other C3ers, an issue I need to address myself).

3. I think the list of "mentee" groups that Mark has come up with looks good. I'm at least comfortable with my group, although I'm also willing to work with anyone else as needed. (I've been working with some of the RCA teachers about using G-docs for tutorial appointments, managing Google Groups, etc.)

4. I have no problem with the unveiling of the "helpicu" account.

See you in the ELP Meeting!

Hiroshi

Hi Bill,

1. I think the tip of the week article looks very good.

2. I'm guessing we will get a clearer idea of how to develop and use the "Can Do" list as we support the staff we are in charge of. I'd be happy to work on it one more step, especially to add links to the list so that users can click on the skill and get more info about it.

3. Which staff we will work with - Just to get the discussion going, I guess one possible way is to tentatively divide by ARW programs and RCA floors and then swap members as needed. How does the following look?

Bill RCA 2nd floor - Kota, Atsuko T, Kumi, Akiko, Asako
Hiroshi RCA 3rd floor - Mikiko, Masuko, Izumi, Atsuko
Ged Prog. C ARW - Ken, Mike, Paul, Rob
Dave Prog. B ARW - Susan, Steve, Lynn, Miguel, Jim, Rab
Mark Program A ARW - Crystabel, Audrey, Chris Hale, Chris Hoskins, Sylvan

My group seems good to me, but I'm happy to mentor many of the RCA teachers on the 2nd floor too.

4. Unveiling helpicu / ihelpicu -- I think there is no problem to telling people about it, but I wonder if it may be a bit abstract for most people to understand? An email sent just before or after the announcement might be helpful to show in writing what it can be used for and lead people to try it and poke around.

Hi again,

1. Here is a revised draft of the first C3 tip of the week blog we talked about starting:

This is the first posting of what we plan to be a regular (roughly weekly) series of tips, suggestions and helpful ideas related to the ELP C3 Plan. It will also serve as a place where all members of the ELP can post related comments or questions. Each new post will automatically be sent out as an email to the ELP googlegroup. If you want to comment on the posts, or ask questions. Please visit the blog at http://elpc3news.blogspot.com/

Tip of the week on using Gmail: check out this link to the Gmail ninja site that Rab has included in the CM course materials this term. It has good tips for everyone from the novice (white belt) to the Gmail Master (imagine a cross between Rab and Yoda).

Thanks,

C3

2. I haven't received any feedback on the proposed "I can do list" (see minutes of our last meeting) except from Mark. Do we want to go forward with this either as a personal checklist we use with people we work with or as a public spreadsheet as Mark has proposed?

3. Is anyone interested in taking on the job of deciding on which ELP staff we will work with?

4. I would like to officially unveil "helpicu" at the ELP meeting on 9/29. Does anyone object to that and or have suggestions on how best to do it?

Thanks!

I think all of those sound very good, Bill. The informal drip, drip, drip can be very powerful and is very important to remember among ourselves.

I hope we can divide up the small groups as soon as possible and contact our mentees to ask them what they want help with.

I think any group sessions we do ought to tend to be voluntary, have a self-access component for those who cannot make it,and ought to have quite specific themes such as "Overcoming GoogleDoc Phobia with 7 Useful Tips"

I'd be happy to contribute to the weekly tips too. If we make a C3 tips blog and make the ICU ELP group take an RSS email from all new posts, then we'd be making a C3 help resource site and doing a newletter at the same time. I think it will be very helpful!

Hi,

In talking to Ged this morning I was reminded that we should probably create a number of approaches to moving our plan forward. Here is a list of some things that we could do:

1.Small group mentoring (as we discussed in the meeting Tuesday).
2.Drip, drip, drip (= on-going reminders from all of us as we participate in various other committees, teaching groups, etc.)
3.Find or make some opportunities to discuss basic issues (e.g. why should we share our materials?) rather than just focusing on tools and techniques.
4.Start a "C3 tip of the week" email posting (also tagged of course). I would be happy to do this, but would appreciate suggestions for tips from all of you.

How does this sound to the rest of you?

Hi Bill, Dave and Ged,

A start-up meeting for the post-Owen era definitely sounds good.

Unfortunately, I'll be in Sapporo for JACET and wonder if a different
date might be possible.

Would the afternoon of 9/1 or 9/2 work at all? I'm free on both
afternoons 2-6pm at this point.

Bill

That's fine by me.

Dear C3ers,

I think a meeting sometime before the beginning of Fall term would be a good idea. I'd like to discuss plans for the post-Owen era, particularly ways that we can continue to promote the on-going solidification of the C3 plan.

How does Friday, Sept. 4 from 9:30 to 10:30 sound?

Please feel free to suggest other agenda items for this meeting as well.

Thanks,

Bill

Meeting at the beginning of Fall

Dear C3ers,

I think a meeting sometime before the beginning of Fall term would be a good idea. I'd like to discuss plans for the post-Owen era, particularly ways that we can continue to promote the on-going solidification of the C3 plan.

How does Friday, Sept. 4 from 9:30 to 10:30 sound?

Please feel free to suggest other agenda items for this meeting as well.

Thanks,

Bill

Re: NTD assignments for new teacher

Bill,

I'll talk to you about this when next we meet.

Hi,

I'm thinking about how best to assign Jim Sick to NTD groups from September. I think it is fine to add him to C&A to replace Owen, but how to you all feel about asking him to join C3? This excerpt from his CV indicates that he is pretty familiar with computers:

Computer and Media Advanced computer, software, and media creation skills, including system and network maintenance of Macintosh computers, video and audio recording, corpus analysis, and database management.
Experience using and teaching Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel, Filemaker Pro, Apple iMovie, Digidesign Pro Tools, Adobe Premiere, and Adobe Photoshop.
Have developed and taught content-based language courses focused on multimedia creation using both Macintosh and Windows computers: iMovie Video Presentations (2003-2006), and Computer no Eigo (2005-2007)
Have used concordance software to analyze and create teaching materials from a corpus of student essays archived using the Criterion essay management system.
Have designed, deployed, and managed a website for an international conference (PROMS 2008 Tokyo). Can be viewed at www.proms-tokyo.org

CALL and Online Learning Experience creating and managing courses using the Blackboard and Moodle Course management systems. Extensive experience with Moodle, including installation, update, and maintenance at a personal website.
Examples of archived Moodle courses can be viewed at:

In autumn 2008, taught an undergraduate course in CALL for J. F. Oberlin students enrolled in a teaching license certification program. An archive of the course site can be viewed at the above website.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Re: NTD assignments for new teacher

Hi Bill & C3ers,

On their own computer skills are not very important, because C3 is really not about computers, it is much more about enhancing teaching and learning as a social activity. That said though, if Jim is interested in such use of social technologies, his skills could certainly be mined. However, five is also a very effective size for a working group.

Best,

Owen.
