Webinars are ok.
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.

It got me thinking, perhaps another role NetGL can assist with as educators, especially in relation to my previously noted frustrations [link to dolly post], is to open the door to a range of current ‘best practice’ ideas in circulation. As a comment in that post Murra Mumma suggested I show my owners some ‘best practice’ ideas so they can see what their results look like as opposed to the ‘revered’ ones.
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?

I look back at how I felt when starting this unit and remember chaos. But now that I’ve started to think about what I want out of the module and how I can use it, my feelings are a little more organised, probably similar to this:
It’s called the CC Squiggle, by Damien Newman. It describes what happens in a creative exercise, when designers are trying to create something meaningful. It commences with a whirlwind of ideas then as the objectives become clearer and more defined, things start to plateau.
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?
