Teddy Bear Blog from Brenda

Hi Meg!Thanks for your great session at the ECOO conference, I really enjoyed it!Here's an example of changing times in education. In the past I've done the global project from iEARN.org called the Teddy Bear Project with my primary students using email. This year, I tried to make it more collaborative and visual...a place to tell our story and reflect on it over the year. We spent until January posting with our friends from Australia and now continue to write about the travels of our koala bear.Check it out at:www.mrssherry.blogspot.comI presented it at the ECOO and primary teachers seemed to really like the idea!

Hello all!
Just a note, if you send me comment on the blog I can't email you back because the link is from anonymous blogger, not your email. So if you send me a post try and send me your email also!
Thanks!

Thanks for all the Comments from MAME!

Thanks everyone for your comments!
I have enjoyed a rainy day by the fire really diving into the world of publishing! We should have vblogged our time together, then they could have have been edited into podcasts and small vblogs on each of those topics. We could have vblogged Judy with her simple, yet fabulous presentation, thanks again!

Danny's report is now in cyberspace! Margy wanted to use it for a presentation on Tuesday, now you all can use it. There are three clips waiting for you to use. Keep me posted if you use them. Here is the link to the videos

Thanks for a great session!

MAME Spring Conference

Good morning!
We will use this blog today as our question board. Please leave questions and if we don't get to them today, I will answer them on the new MAME Blog!

Connectivism Blog: "I think this is the wrong question. People don’t want to visit your content. They want to pull your content into their sites, programs, or applications. This is a profound change, largely not understood by educators. We are still fixated on the notion of learning content, and we think we are making great concessions when we give learners control over content (and start to see them as co-creators). That misses the essence of the change: learners want control of their space. They want to create the ecology in which they function and learn. Today, it’s about pulling content from numerous sites and allowing the individual to repurpose it in the format they prefer (allowing them to create/recognize patterns). Much like the music industry had to learn that people don’t want to pay for a whole album when all they want is one song, content providers (education, museums, and libraries) need to see the end user doesn’t want the entire experience – they want only the pieces they want. We need to stop thinking that learners will come to us for learning content – our learning content should come to them in their environment."
