      Dee asked to see the results of the survey so I made them public

      (I'll leave the survey open during the conference in case you want to take it)

      Here are the survey results from 5 respondents who took it during the PCI on March 25, 2014

      If there are more respondents during the conference I'll post a second chart below

       

      Example of survey technique used with students

      Here's an example of using this technique with students who worked from a grammar exercise in their textbook

      Vance Stevens is presenting on "Learning2gether with EVO MultiMOOC and SMALL" at the EV Classic Fair

      Saturday March 29, 2014: 10:00 to 10:50 PST in the Electronic Village

      That session is being webcast on Blackboard Collaborate (Elluminate) from 1800 -1850 GMT

      http://learningtimesevents.org/webheads/

      and the recording will be archived at http://learning2gether.net 

       

      The first MOOC was conceived in 2008 as a model of connectivist learning theory. Its proponents George Siemens, Stephen Downes, and Dave Cormier almost inadvertently seeded a revolution in re-thinking how we conceive learning in a highly networked digital age. Since then, MOOCs have tended to fall between two extremes which have come to be known as cMOOCs and xMOOCs. These are differentiated in part in the way they approach their subject matter; i.e. the degree to which they expose participants to the chaos they are likely to encounter in the real world, and the degree to which they engage learners in resolving that chaos. This part of the workshop examines what MOOCs can teach us about the role of chaos in our own learning, and suggests how we can apply MOOC models to our contexts of facilitating our students’ learning, and in learning from one another in our ongoing professional development.

      Flipping your classroom

       

      According to Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip_teaching 
      the HISTORY of flipped classroom begins here


      You can find more details at the Wikipedia article. The idea for the flipped classroom was well entrenched when on Sunday, June 10, 2012 - Laine Marshall came on Learning2gether to present 'Three reasons to flip your classroom'

      Spontaneous Hangout Recordings

       

      We set up two Hangouts on Air (HoA) during our PCI events

       

      These two hangouts were recorded spontaneously in one of the renditions of my part of the PCI session.  I'm not sure in the video why you can't see the other hangout windows. At some point we show the iPad which was also in the Hangout, and you can see the other Hangout on Air windows fleetingly on its screen, and at the beginning of the snippet I point on the PC to a window (the iPad) that was there on the screen though you can't see it in this recording.

       

       

      More F.U.N. with another group of participants but this time the iPad Hangout app was not offering me the new Hangout I had just started, so it was just the 4 of us, and last round of my part of the PCI in a long day :-)

       

       

       

      More examples and sample form triggered by QR Code to appear here shortly

       

       

      Focus on digital tools

      Focus on what digital tools to implement, how to implement them in their individual educational communities, and how to assess the effectiveness of implementation of CALL in their educational settings
