We are now almost 2 days into our Feb. 14 online week and things are off to a good start. Students chimed into the Similarities Between Bransford and Papert discussion and have illustrated their points with effective specifics from each author. So far, emphasis on the importance of metacognition and prior knowledge have been the most common areas of agreement on similarities. Later in the week, I plan to move the discussion toward differences.
Elisa chose Hot Potatoes for her resource review and her topic is generating discussion and interest among our group.
And our main activity for the week is the completion of digital stories. We will share these stories in class on Feb. 21. Sharing the stories provides great examples of high quality digital stories and also helps us connect with each other on a little deeper level. I look forward to seeing all the creations.
As Evrim pointed out, most of the students in 505 have already created an online presence. I look forward to lively, grounded discussions this week.
