Working with a school district, I've opened their eyes to technology as a workplace learning and collaboration tool (amongst staff) and how it might fit within a classroom. Mostly though, I hope that I've shifted their perspective to technology as a tool for a more networked world.<br />2. Working for a large credit union, I introduced performance support for an IT system that would have been a bear to "train" employees on. This was my legacy to this organization, which has embraced perf. support on many levels. <br />3. Just starting this one - my small community (pop 10,000) is embarking on a grass-roots initiative to develop a digital economy. I'm just a participant in this, but pleased to be a part of it and will blog about it as it develops. <br /><br />I wonder if we are so used to the technology of today, we have forgotten how big of a shift we've made in such a short period of time? Maybe many of us did make big impacts with technology, but viewed from current perspective don't seem so big anymore?<br /><br />HollyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10313978.post-2477509479476651892010-10-22T06:32:53.627-07:002010-10-22T06:32:53.627-07:00Okay this is a small project I've been doing f...Okay this is a small project I've been doing for the last three semesters in the freshman biology class I teach face to face (F2F) To improve class collaboration, I've incorporated the use of Wikis (a great Web 2.0 technology) to get students to collaborate and share ideas. Often times getting every student to participate in class isn't that easy as some are more vocal than others. After teaching another course online/hybrid and seeing how "vocal" my online students are on the asynchronous discussion boards, I decided to make my F2F class more interactive by extending our classroom into this virtual arena. Students have gained valuable lessons in using this technology. They have not only mastered the wiki technology, but are learning how to demonstrate effective communication and collaborative skills which are all necessary in today's technology dominant job market.Nishanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10313978.post-88021188660929715432010-10-13T04:46:09.764-07:002010-10-13T04:46:09.764-07:00Ignatia Inge de Waard lists her success factors fo...Ignatia Inge de Waard <a href="http://ignatiawebs.blogspot.com/2010/10/big-question-big-impact-learning.html" rel="nofollow">lists her success factors for big impact eLearning</a>Inge (Ignatia) de Waardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03170929012404880320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10313978.post-20363347138543937762010-10-06T18:18:49.838-07:002010-10-06T18:18:49.838-07:00Jason McDonald - Maybe You Should Read the ManualJason McDonald - <a title="Maybe You Should Read the Manual" href="http://jkmcdonald.com/blog/2010/10/06/october-big-question/" rel="nofollow">Maybe You Should Read the Manual</a>Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04590299793191534696noreply@blogger.com
