I have never participated in a MOOC before. I am extremely interested in online learning and its potential, but I have been disappointed in what I have seen so far — and specifically the lack of education for teachers who are delivering online classes. How will the 21st century student be reached? Where is the engagement? To say that I am impressed with MOOCs is an understatement. Perhaps I was lucky that this was my first one. It never occurred to me not to complete it. I piqued from the moment I received that first email in November.
I was fortunate to be adopted by the “Fraingers.” “We met as strangers in EDC MOOC, and our asynchronous posts on Facebook and Google Plus helped us become fraingers, or digital friend-strangers for life. With the support of 16 incredible people from all over the world, I began my MOOC journey. In my initial blog, I identified 5 goals for this MOOC. 1. Twitonomy illustrates that I have expanded my PLN to the far reaches of the globe. 2. 3. 4. 5. Like this: I live in "Virtualia" I live in Santiago, Chile, but I am finding that every day I am more in another country, which I named “Virtualia” (as happens in many of these obvious names, it is already owned by someone, but not used). Virtualia is the biggest country in the world, with 2 billion inhabitants. It has the most dynamic economy in the World, growing consistently at a two-digit rate. It creates 2.6 jobs for each one it destroys.
It moved 8 trillion dollars worth of commerce in year 2010. It is especially good for Small & Medium companies (SMEs). In Virtualia we are all equal. In Virtualia there is real freedom. In Virtualia we work networked. Nobody can claim to have Virtualia’s command. We are making the education revolution in Virtualia. There is also evil in Virtualia. There are billions of people who still have no chance to dwell in Virtualia: those are our goal to get inside.

This is an opinion I posted on my digital artifact website This has been an interesting online learning process. I have previously experienced more instructive multi media education programmes with learners following a timeline and directed to very specific forums for collaboration and information exchange. The technological and philosophical concepts introduced in EDCMOOC are fascinating and enable participants to explore their intellect and creativity. Given the breakdown of participants it is no surprise that the enthusiasm and quality of the debate and contribution has been high.
I wonder how many from the 40,000 will submit an assessment artefact? While discovering and using social media platforms for self directed and collaborative learning the programme introduced too many which for me led to information management overload.

Lieber auf Deutsch lesen? *klick* While the third week of the E-Learning and Digital Cultures course has been mainly devoted to humanism, this week’s focus was more on post-human aspects. What is posthumanism? An excerpt of Wikipedia: Posthumanism mainly differentiates from classical humanism in that it restores the stature that had been made of humanity to one of many natural species. Film 1: Robbie (8:45) The one talking is Robbie. “So if you are not treated as human by others does this mean you are not human?” What would that mean for our society? In his vision, Robbie is placed in a coffin, just as a human being, even the pose of the hands is copied.
And if a robot suffers from emotions, can you heal him? Film 2: Gumdrop (8:05) Much like Robbie, but without the oppressive feelings. Film 3: True Skin (6:12) Another film which I personally would rather assign the horror drawer. Film 4: Avatar Days (3:54) Minute1:00: reminds me of a previous job, call-center-like office job.

I wrote recently on how I use blogging to connect the introvert in my classroom and have found it is making it much easier for my quiet students to connect to the lessons and participate with their classmates. Something interesting is happening with one student in particular that I thought I’d share. “Mandy” is uber-quiet. For the better part of the school year now, she comes in, gotten her self situated and simply faded into the background.
I didn’t even know what she sounded like. When we started blogging, she came to me for help getting her blog set up and has been happily responding to posts written and creating great posts of her own (most of them, pictorial). I’m pleased, because I know she’s “speaking up” now. When I start a new lesson, we read out loud from our textbooks. I called on her. She moved through the passage slowly and when she was finished, ducked her head instinctively. How do you use digital literacy with your students? Random Sharing is good. Like this:
