Lesson 6 has been spent in more individual activities than in team, collaborative work. We did complete our team reflection a couple of weeks ago after we completed our team reflection assignment. I know that each Team 1 member had a significant amount of work to complete on assignments for ETC647 and/or other courses in addition to our professional and personal responsibilities so most of our time in this lesson was spent going solo.
Being a member of Team 1 has been a very rewarding experience for me. I have learned a tremendous amount about our program and about being a person that can be counted on and being able to count on my teammates. This has been a great semester and course and I thank my teammates and Chih, our instructor for enhancing my learning experience.
I agree with Dan, this team has supported a great learning experience. We have been a completely integrated team with sharing our strengths and supporting each other in classwork as well as a few character building moments in our personal lives. Lesson 6 was the time to build our individuL projects but we know we can call upon team for support. The thought had come to me last night that we needed the team reflection and here it was submitted by Dan. Now how great is that?
ReplyDeleteThanks Dan and John for making this a great team and to Chih for the support we have received from you.
Thanks for sharing your Lesson 6 blog reflection with me!
ReplyDeleteMulti-dimensional discussions with the integrations of Google Reader, Nabble, Delicious, Twitter, and Blog are an emerging ONLE/PLE instructional strategy. We may not fully learn from this post-modern discussion format but it is a combination of designs with ONLE and PLE. Traditional online discussions does not allow learners to organize their learning activity. With multi-dimensional network discussions, we do not need to visit each discussion area but we can monitor the discussion in one central location (Google Reader).
We may feel overwhelmed by multiple tools applied. If we use traditional online discussion mindset, multi-dimensional discussions would be complete disorganized. However, if we shift our mind to PLE mindset, as learners we have more control over the discussion activities. In other words, if we want simple discussion, traditional online discussions would be better. If we are looking for effective and true learner-centered discussions, multi-dimensional discussions would be more inspiring.
Now we finished our ONLE unit and are reviewing our classmates’ ONLE units. I would like to remind us four components of technology integration instructions for ONLE: content; technology; instructional strategies; and assessments. Don’t forget to use these four components to evaluate units in additional Connectivism’s principles, such as UGC, meshup, social networking etc., particularly are there any UGC instructional strategies, other ONLE instructional strategies, and assessment applied?
Your group has done a great work in out class. This is a very challenging course. I hope your group has seen the value of "network" collaboration and learning, not just "online" collaboration and learning. Your group should be proud of yourself.
