Teaching in the 21st Century

Posted on April 14, 2010 by joanvinallcox

Here’s why I love the web. I found the video embedded below on Twitter, with a mention in the post of Ignatia, a woman whose knowledge and sharing I have respected for years  - http://ignatiawebs.blogspot.com/2010/04/meaningful-and-powerful-learning-how-to.html. I think the video is beautifully designed and presented, and it’s what I believe about teaching for today. I hope you View Post

From Knowledgable to Knowledge-able by Wesch

Posted on January 9, 2009 by joanvinallcox

Michael Wesch is a pedagogical hero of mine. I’ve watched videos his classes made; I’ve watched a video of him explaining his teaching, and I asked a question on Twitter, and even though he doesn’t follow me, got an anwser from him within a few hours! He understands the impact of the new communication ecosphere View Post

Higher Education's Survival

Posted on November 27, 2008 by joanvinallcox

Sometimes you find someone saying what you have been thinking about. I think the future of higher education is in danger, and I would hate to see the loss of something so precious. Through Stephen Downes wonderful newsletter, OLDaily, which can be linked to here - http://www.downes.ca/, I found David Wiley’s 2008 ELearn presentation - http://opencontent.org/blog/archives/660 – View Post

Teaching Communication Now!

Posted on October 23, 2008 by joanvinallcox

As a longtime communications teacher, I am fascinated by our changing communications media and platform. And when I’m teaching, no matter the direct subject I’m teaching, I never lose awareness of the changes our culture is going through, and the responsibility of teachers to help prepare our students for this new and rapidly evolving communications View Post

Twitter – a Brief Intro

Posted on October 9, 2008 by joanvinallcox

I’ve been ‘playing’ on Twitter for a few months now. I choose who I follow based on whether we appear to have similar interests, and I let anyone who wants to follow me. There are people who I follow who don’t follow me, and people who follow me who I don’t follow back. It makes View Post

Chunkit and Cuil

Posted on July 28, 2008 by joanvinallcox

In the past few days I’ve been alerted to two new search tools. A friend, knowing my web-fascination, sent me a link to Cuil – http://www.cuil.com/info/ – I have only briefly played with it, but the information has hit the Twitterverse, and it was created by Google alumni, so you might want to check it View Post

Jing (for Screencasting) and TweetDeck (for Twitter)

Posted on July 25, 2008 by joanvinallcox

Summertime is playtime, and we’ve had record amounts of rain where I live, so my playing has been indoors. Here are a couple of tools I’ve been playing with. Jing is a free and very easy screencasting tool. Because I’m thinking about Personal Learning Environments, that’s what I made this screencast on – http://www.screencast.com/users/JoanVinallCox/folders/MERLOT/media/15cb112a-af72-4d8a-a7c0-f41d42041696 My View Post

Piracy and Innovation

Posted on July 23, 2008 by joanvinallcox

The YouTube video, The Pirate’s Dilemma, looks at the cultural problem of our creativity being largely bricolagic, (if that’s a word). We see other’s doing something and we imitate and/or adapt it. We follow trends, and we build on other’s ideas. But people need to make livings, and creators should get credit and rewards. Yet View Post
