Pre-Conference Workshops | Sloan-C International Symposium
TITLE:
Teaching in Wild Wild Web: Web 2.0 Technologies and Student Centered Learning
PRESENTERS:
Rochelle Rodrigo, Mesa Community College
Alisa Cooper, South Mountain Community College
DESCRIPTION:
This three hour workshop on Web 2.0 technologies will offer information and engage participants in dialogue and hands-on activities intended to introduce and familiarize workshop participants with Blogs, Wikis, Document Sharing, RSS, and Personal Portal technologies. The goals of the event are to make participants comfortable with, and knowledgeable about, a variety of interactive Web 2.0 technologies:
* Introducing participants to the definitions and key elements of web 2.0 technologies.
* Engaging in discussion about how and why these various technologies can better facilitate teaching and learning.
* Offering the knowledge and experience of faculty who have designed, developed and incorporated different types of web 2.0 technologies into their classes, or work processes.
* Encouraging participants to critically select, review, and possibly adopt emerging technologies to incorporate into their classes, or work processes.
* Having participants set up a variety of different web 2.0 accounts and work through various activities that begin to familiarize them with the technologies.
This workshop specifically targets faculty, instructional designers, and instructional technologists relatively new to the world of web 2.0 technologies; however, as with many of these types of workshops, advanced web 2.0 users would probably learn another trick or two while also enriching the dialogue with their own experiences.
For a better learning experience, please bring your own laptops so that you might set up accounts and play with the various technologies we'll be exploring.
Is Google Making Us Stupid? - The Atlantic (July/August 2008)
Sometime in 1882, Friedrich Nietzsche bought a typewriter—a Malling-Hansen Writing Ball, to be precise. His vision was failing, and keeping his eyes focused on a page had become exhausting and painful, often bringing on crushing headaches. He had been forced to curtail his writing, and he feared that he would soon have to give it up. The typewriter rescued him, at least for a time. Once he had mastered touch-typing, he was able to write with his eyes closed, using only the tips of his fingers. Words could once again flow from his mind to the page.
But the machine had a subtler effect on his work. One of Nietzsche’s friends, a composer, noticed a change in the style of his writing. His already terse prose had become even tighter, more telegraphic. “Perhaps you will through this instrument even take to a new idiom,” the friend wrote in a letter, noting that, in his own work, his “‘thoughts’ in music and language often depend on the quality of pen and paper.”
