Unit 4 was a pretty low-key unit. I really enjoyed the article we read by John Seely Brown on "Growing Up Digital." It covered so many fascinating aspects of online activity and how the internet has affected our lives. More articles like this are always welcome!
My group set up a wiki last week and we've added pages to it for contact info, suggesting subtopics and results of our research of the research. It's nice to see this project moving forward slowly. All the bits we do right now will make the final development that much easier. We have also been using our email group list to share info as we come across it, and also to build rapport and familiarity with each other. I am really enjoying the people I'm working with in this class!
Coming up with a topic for my midterm paper was more difficult than I thought but I managed to figure out something that I am very interested in that would also be useful to other online educators. The title I decided on is "How did they do that?! Adding cool interactivity to your online course." I hope to make it the kind of article you'd want to turn to when you got your magazine for online educators! It should be a lot easier since we can write in the first person instead of in the usual third person.
