Busy week here --
Reading, Reading, Reading
- Bruns chapters 1-3
- every post on the discussion board (filter, filter, filter -- just hate to miss anything -- even on a buffet, I'd want a taste of everything I'd never had before!)
- outside links, sources, rabbit trails on Anderson, Bruns, Bauwens, Raymond, Roderbeck, Scholz & Hartzog, and related (non-class) blogs on same
Discussion board Posts
- long posts are probably not conducive to "discussion"
- I write this way because it is how I synthesize what I read.
- Weick asks, How will I know what I think unless I see what I say?
- Coming to conclusion that such writing is probably more appropriate to blog -- not used to so many forums!
Authentic versus simulated
- Would love for Produsage assignment to be authentic and live beyond the course
- Working to develop consensus, vision, community to serve as foundation for authentic community
- it just feels like time is too short, task too large, too many obstacles
- for now, just git 'er done!
- compromise is to do EMS community on instructive calls -- community exists, I can unilaterally build framework, already have access to experts -- no such site exists to catalog calls for sharing and learning through vicarious experience
Organizing
- class blogs -- selected a precious few (16!) to follow
- set up favorites -- cannot find specific blogs in friend feed
- trying to set up template for tackling everything systematically!
Playing and learning
- signed up for twitter
Synthesizing
- thinking about Produsage Project due next week, Monday 20 JUL 09!
- experiencing a confluence of ideas from many different areas of theory: social, learning, organizational, economic, political, motivation, self-efficacy, community
- seeing how tools may be used to establish and maintain relationships
Busy Personal Week
- travel to Texas
- dropped cell phone in cup of coffee
- LCD screen went out on laptop
- 40 Therapeutic Misconception papers to grade
- 40 media projects to review -- using wiki to help student with project
- Reiser Trends & Issues paper due Tuesday, 14 JUL 09
Loose Ends
- Will get back to Michael Jackson -- lots of intersections here
PREVIEW: using wikis and blogs for EMS, GWU, ACRP
Sounds like a busy time. Hope you don't encounter any more technology challenges!
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed reading your discussion posts and seeing what you've pulled out of the readings. While they may not lead to discussion, I'm sure others have found them to be a useful synthesis. You can post them here, if you prefer.
Anyway, it sounds like you're making good headway on the filtering and figuring out how to manage all of this stuff.
Don't fret over the buffet -- it will be set out for you even after the course ends :)
