[ED-TECH] Free Summer Webinars from Educause

Educause, the huge organization focused on computing in higher education, is running a series of free webinars this summer. Please check the link below for the topics and dates. The first one is this coming Tuesday, June 28th, at 1:00 pm. Attend one, attend them all. Summer is often a time to focus on research and grants, while reflecting on teaching. These look like cockaded opportunities to take a break from your other activities and think about some teaching and learning challenges.

[ED-TECH] Note taking

Interesting blog post on note taking. The first four points are relevant to everyone, the others are social media based.

How do students learn to take notes? How does the teacher's design of the learning experience help them take better notes?

Social media & learning – note taking on steroids

If you are not familiar with Bloom's taxonomy, or need a refresher, the YouTube video at <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwS1MVZgTL8> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwS1MVZgTL8 is a cute way to quickly get up to speed. The web site at <http://goo.gl/6mZR4> http://goo.gl/6mZR4 has additional information on how to use Bloom's taxonomy. There is a great chart at <http://goo.gl/6mZR4> http://goo.gl/6mZR4 with questions, activities, and trigger words for each of the four levels. As you plan your courses for the fall, take a look at what levels you would like your students to achieve, and how you are helping them do that.

I am seeing articles about storytelling as a learning objective in most disciplines. Every paper is a story in which you are trying to convince the reader of your conclusion. Every presentation is a story. Now, with Web 2.0, every video or oral history is a story. But stories are rarely multimedia, they are either written or video or a single form of media. The Atavist provides this type of multimedia enhanced nonfiction stories. While some are available for the Kindle and Nook, the best format is on the iPad, where all forms of multimedia can be used. Stories cost around $3 each on the iPad. Go to <http://atavist.net> http://atavist.net to see what is available.

[ED-TECH] Saying No (markboulton.co.uk)

Ed-Tech List Members,

Interesting article, counter to normal thinking. Instead of always saying "Yes" it argues that you need to regularly say no. I learned that lesson about group purchases of software years ago. There are things that we, the IAC, should not be doing.

But to use "No" you need to have a clear vision of what you do and where you are going. You need to be able to communicate that vision quickly and persuasively. And you need to, as much as possible, redirect people to people who can say "Yes" to their request.

"At the U, we are transforming lives through ... " How are you transforming lives? Whose lives are you transforming? What are things you say "No" to, so that you can transform lives in the way you do? What is your vision?

Saying No
