I guess.
I attended one today.
LearnEx is on in Sydney at the moment and we’re exhibiting, so they have offered my company all these free webinars. Today’s one was on gamification.
Since the instructional manual my ‘overseers’ use was published before web 2.0. came about, perhaps I can get them on board by suggesting a few ‘webinars’ hosted by ‘contemporary experts’. Maybe then they’ll get on board. Maybe that is something networked that will assist me as a teacher?
As far as wayfinding learning goes, perhaps the sheer breadth of global learning has too many ‘ways’ to leave learners alone with.
I recently posted a piece on my own ‘development’ and the course I designed after realising what I was missing and it reminded me of Alice in Wonderland. You know that bit where she walks up to a fork in the road after being lost, confused, enlarged, shrunken, laughed at and chased?
Siemens (2006) claims we are entering a new stage of active, ongoing cognition, but maybe as teachers we need to work with learners and help them decide what their objectives are and what cognition is actually relevant to them before throwing NetGL in their faces?
