Collaborating Across Time and Space: Our Work in the Digital Age
Please join us for our Fifth Annual eLearning Symposium! (Registration link) This year we will focus on our rich opportunities for collaboration in academic spaces. Topics ranging from using tools like Zoom in our courses with students to discovering ways we can share our learning as educators, we will explore some of the ways our […]
Do the tools we use with students change the ways in which they interact with information and the world?
So great to see many colleagues across UW Bothell and the broader UW community. This is one of my favorite events of the year! Photo credit: https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-jumping-photo-127968/
Being here, I was thinking that I should probably do something to share a bit more about my system for developing online lectures with other faculty. They are unique in that they use green screen to embed the presenter into the slides. I’ve spent a lot of time refining it, so it could save other […]
Todd is awesome! How is he awesome? Let me count the ways… He takes photographs of flowers on his way to/from work and shares them on Twitter. He is a terrific listener. He’s easy to talk to and with. He eats all the cookies I bring to work. Wait…that might not be awesome…
I am still struggling with the notion of assignments/challenges. Is it just semantics or might it be more substantial than that? Might some students (based on prior experiences) be turned off from the idea of challenges? Loved the idea of web hosting from Mark. Need to learn more!
I am teaching this afternoon, so I will disappear……
Changing what I have been teaching for some time now. Have been focusing on South Asia (India / Pakistan) and moving the conversation globally so as to make students’ learning more inclusive.
I am new faculty at UWB in social studies and multicultural education. I moved three weeks ago, and this is my first official university event. So happy to be here!
Korean? Japanese? Italian? Burgers? Mexican? Thai? So.many.decisions.
Borrowing from an old song – always fun to be able to collaborate with others. I tried to find a sun icon, but didn’t have time – so you’ll have to image it.
WordPress is a complex software tool supported by large community of developers. It is also a framework that allows plug-ins, themes, and customized from any developer to be integrated into the tool. Need to learn how to be aware how to keep your WordPress up to date. Here’s a list of widely known vulnerabilities […]
I have twin baby girls who are turning 1 tomorrow. Where was the picture on the meme taken? That’s a lot of snow.
Todd says: Type some sentences. If feeling particularly frisky add multi-media. Whatever you would like. Deep thoughts onto this page. No pressure. Type some sentences like this web page, The Four English Sentence Types, about typing sentences.
The coffee is kicking in! But I might need some more. 🙂
How do we use learning technologies to support teaching/training/development, when you may never meet your student? How can we improve classes/training in the “new” or “digital” space we work in? How can we support others hesitant to embrace digital literacy? Challenge them. 🙂
I really have a website? Nice to know – look forward to using it. Love those blackberries.
eLearning Symposium 2019! Here are the notes and ideas I’ve jotted down so far this morning: Create digital album of photos related to an experience away from the screen (research experience?) Online learning that is 100% mobile phone accessible – South America?? http://anth101.com/ – assignment vs. challenge – an assignment connotes a grade – does […]
Glad to see so many familiar faces at this event, and learn about fantastic new stuff…! And if you didn’t see this tonight, enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mt_oVXyidM Paola
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. At least, that is what I was told to type.
Many faculty do not understand the concept of WordPress or blogs. When this technology is suggested, it is a deer in the headlights response that takes quite a bit of convincing and support to get it going… suggestions on how to make the process less painfull?
Fun!
For those interested in maybe recording some video content for their courses.
Moving a course from Canvas to web-based isn’t just about transferring it, it’s about how to make everything about it better, more accessible and to improve student learning and their experiences.
When will flowers fly? When will flies flower?
I have a cat named Coconut. She helps me design online Canvas activities when I am working from home during the Snowpocalypse.
A very drafty draft…
I love that I have control of a page that does not have to go through multiple levels of approval (at UW) to get on the web! -Jody
What do you do when it snows in Seattle?
but this UW resource is pretty awesome too! (in case you want to go outside UW, here’s how: slides from my talk cheatsheet -mark
Hi everyone! I’m excited to be here today and excited/nervous to be presenting this afternoon. Already I’m getting so much fuel and new ideas for my session… the benefit of being in a room full of smart, passionate people. I’d like to make your day a little better by sharing Keanu Reeves Walking to Music. […]
Even though not all of the presentations feel relevant to me, I am enjoying having the space to think about digital learning ideas for my upcoming class this fall. For example, I like to play music at the start of class but I feel awkward about what music it is. I now plan to assign […]
This is Todd.
We use WordPress in my organization for our knowledge base. However, we are not optimizing the capacity, because we have all of the interactive features turned off! No comments, no ability to edit, etc.
