Rarely do we get a chance or have the inclination to do this fully. For my role as a Learning Technologist in a Higher Education institution (Institute of Education, London, UK), I don't do a massive amount of teaching. There is some but mostly the help and advice I provide is done informally in one-to-one meetings. Overall, the system worked well. | LEARNING TECHNOLOGY LEARNING MARCH 1, 2012 Collaborative bookmarking in education To continue the series of posts on the theme of internet-based tools for teaching and learning, here is my latest thinking on collaborative bookmarking in education. Firstly, the term I'm using is collaborative bookmarking rather than social bookmarking. This is because I'm trying to put it within a educational context. The emphasis, therefore, is collaboration or co-construction of knowledge and understanding and using an online bookmarking service as part of such a pedagogical design. For example, for social bookmarking tagging is key. The principle is sound so what is the reality. | | | | | |
| LEARNING TECHNOLOGY LEARNING FEBRUARY 24, 2012 Using forums/blogs/wikis to facilitate learning: A summary As usual for me, I'm breaking away from an existing train of thought in these posts for something different. When you work with VLEs/LMSs you deal extensively with the text-based communication tools that exist in all systems. The 3 biggies are the discussion/forum tool, the blog/journal tool and the wiki tool. Explaining how each can be used to facilitate learning within learning activities is a key challenge for the Learning Technologist. What's really important is that you articulate clearly the subtle differences between these tools and what their pedagogical affordances are. | LEARNING TECHNOLOGY LEARNING JANUARY 16, 2012 21st Century Tools for Teaching and Learning: rules for practical/hands on teaching This post continues reflection on the learning design process I am currently engaged in for a session I run a couple of times a year and I'm running it again on 7th Feb: 21st century tools for teaching and learning. In a previous post on my blog, A learning design process using social media: Brainstorming and Aggregating , I wrote about using a noticeboard tool and a bookmarking tool to help in the design process. Here are some golden rules I follow: Simple or no account creation - you can’t have participants spending 5 minutes creating an account. Email validation is a big no-no too. | LEARNING TECHNOLOGY LEARNING JANUARY 12, 2012 A learning design process using social media: Brainstorming and Aggregating Here are some reflections on using an online noticeboard tool and a collaborative bookmarking tool as part of a learning design process. 21st century tools for teaching and learning is the title of session I run a couple of times a year and I'm running it again on 7th Feb. Its a workshop where teachers in London can come and learn about a various of internet-based tools which they use in their teaching. What I'm doing is aggregating what's out there, making sense of it and then articulating what I've learnt for those in schools. last ran it in May, 2011 and reflected on it here. used [link]. | LEARNING TECHNOLOGY LEARNING DECEMBER 16, 2011  The learning cycle and the power of asynchronous learning activities When grappling with the concept of learning I often talk about the importance of reflection. However, another key concept is asynchronicity (I'm not entirely sure that's a word). I've reflected on this previously within Asynchronous = Time and Space Learning. In that post I talked about how learning is more likely to occur when given time and space. Learning is hard, really hard. | | | | | | | |

LEARNING TECHNOLOGY LEARNING | THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 2012  Social media for YOUR learning
Happy new year. We are learning all the time. Structuring and directing this learning doesn’t need to be confined to courses and formal education. For an individual learner it is possible to construct your own personal learning environment utlitising different online tools for different purposes. It’s always been possible but social media tools make it far, far easier than previously possible. ve conceptualised some of the possibilities in this mindmap: I’ve divided it into two categories: Personal Learning and Collaborative Learning. It basically means what a tool lends itself towards doing. MORE >> -
 Choosing social media/web 2.0 tools for use in teaching and learning
Originally published on ETC Journal. Connecting formal education to social media/web 2.0 tools is a relatively new area. Educational institutions hope that by purchasing a virtual learning environment (VLE) all of their learning technology needs will be met. However, the world moves fast, and some educators find that our suite of communication and collaboration tools doesn’t cater to our teaching and learning needs as well as they might. Interestingly, VLEs are usually more suited to managing rather than learning (but that’s for another day). This will give you a starting point. Diigo). MORE >> -
LEARNING TECHNOLOGY LEARNING | THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2011 What a learning technologist needs to be good at
I've talked previously about the principle of offering practical advice. This is referring to the level of abstraction you employ when talking about the design of the learning experience. My gut feeling is that because researchers are often employed in Learning Technology positions the tendency is to more be too abstract. This is a completely anecdotal assertion (this blog gives me this kind of freedom of expression). Aside from this, what are the qualities I need to possess to have the maximum positive impact? Often what you come up with sounds obvious. But I'm always glad when I do. MORE >> -
 Tablets: Finally a technology for the classroom
I wanted to blog again as it's been a while. Amongst all the different facets of my work recently, the area that is most stimulating my thinking is ipads and the potential of tablets in formal education. feel strongly that tablets have the potential to have really positive impact on our formal education in the classroom. Internet based technology have a duel function within formal education. Use within the classroom and as the hub of activity for homework assignments. Now with tablets and the excellent ipad, we finally have a technology with the potential to widespread use in the classroom. MORE >> -
LEARNING TECHNOLOGY LEARNING | WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2012 The practice of a learning technologist
I recently undertook a study to help me go my job better. was about the practice of learning technologists. More specifically I looked at the processes involved with supporting UK Higher Education academic staff in their design of online or blended courses. did this by researching my own practice and how I supported my colleagues in their learning designs by studying through learning design processes I have been involved in recently. Through study of the research literature, themes emerged which impact on the design process and it was under these headings that I organised the write-up. MORE >>
