Reflections on The Perfect E-Storm
What an interesting article. After reading the article, two things came to mind. The first thought focused on one of the technologies Bonk discussed, which was video papers. I was just making a comment the other day, as to whether or not universities were looking at the 'digital' thesis. This application could certainly alter the delivery style of papers, essays, etc... I see this technology booming at the secondary level. The students love to combine various media applications in their presentations. What a perfect activity for that non-linear reader:) This article referenced some great technologies for instructional resources. As teachers in this online series, we are fortunate to be exposed to some of these technologies that are out there.
The author also talked about how open source software will become more important in education arenas, especially if lack of funding is an issue. We all have seen how various technologies are soon replaced with something better and quicker. Its hard to keep up sometimes. I am not sure about the collegiate level, but at the k-12 level, if we want new technology, its either find a grant, find a hand-me-down, or dig deep in my own pockets. Thus, open source software is definitely important at my level.
Learner centered verses teacher centered
This statement was listed in the teacher facilitated classroom:
"Assessment is used to monitor learning as well as promote and diagnose."
I feel that this statement can go on either side, depending on how you define the above statement.
P.S. My tag would not copy. It was cute, geometric and green.
My Interview from Chris Danula
I had the opportunity to interview Peggy via email. She is in her 25th year of teaching and is interested in learning the process for creating and teaching online. Currently she is doing an internship with a local Virtual high school in Minneapolis, MN. She is a teacher in the Twin Cities (Roseville) and teaches Career and Technology-Photography. In her spare time, Peggy runs a screenprinting and embroidery business, enjoys running and traveling.

Peggy, thank you for creating your surveys. I suggest that you 'warm up' the precourse survey - right now the information asked is quite dry. I usually use the precourse survey to give students an impression of 'caring and sincerity,' so that they know that I am interested in them personally.
Also I was looking for a bit more reflective notes on this week's learning. Thanks. ~ Datta Kaur
Thanks Datta: I will go back and take a look at the surveys. Do you have an example of some questions you use? Peggy
