[edit] Class Ideas
- Do SNS/Web 2.0 tools enable learning?
- Do they help you learn? Bloom's types of learning:
- Experiential/Psychomotor: manual or physical skills (Skills)
- Using FB in the class setting, what new perspectives have you picked up?
- Affective: growth in feelings or emotional areas (Attitude)
- Has FB reshaped how you feel about the class, classmates or learning space?
- Cognitive: mental skills (Knowledge)
- Learning about FB, have you picked up new ways of using it, or new senses of how it can be used?
- Experiential/Psychomotor: manual or physical skills (Skills)
- Motives for using SNS in education:
- Finding students in their "own spaces"
- Using a tool familiar to the students
- Reducing the number of sites a student has to visit
- Comparison:
- Facebook vs. Blackboard
- Facebook vs. Ning
- What do you want from the "digital classroom experience"
- Michael Wesch's YouTube channel
- How have the tools we've used in this class (Facebook/Wiki/Del.icio.us) enabled learning, how have they worked?
- What are the productive uses?
- What didn't work?
- What could be done better?
- Identity/Privacy and Web 2.0 and Teaching
- Should you friend a professor? (or boss)
- Can/should we separate contexts
