Lesson 2 Reflection

I think team 3 is doing very well. We have kept our lines of communication open, everyone is very helpful and willing to get things done. I am looking forward to our team moderation for the next few weeks, hopefully all will go as smoothly as planned. I didn't find anything that was too challenging on this assignment. We got more practice with the Delicious bookmarking, and I enjoyed reading everyone's posts. The discussions were interesting and I did learn much more on emerging technology and mobile learning. There is so much new and interesting technology out there..and more to come! Very exciting.

Lesson 2 Reflection

So far I feel that our team has worked together well, when necessary. I feel fortunate to have teamed up with such pros. The true test will be how well we are able to moderate the next couple of weeks’ discussions. From what I have seen so far, I don’t think it will be that big of a problem. The key ingredient to any good team is an openness and willingness to work together, and we have those elements covered. The analogy with this photo is that nothing is impossible with the right team.
Bring on Lesson 3!!

Lesson 2 Reflection

Lesson 2 Reflection

Hi Professor Chi,

Its been a difficult start to this semester overall, but things are beginning to come along. I remember you stating this course would be very different and your words are quite true. I just have to adjust. I was working but I quit due to some compelling circumstances, but I also feel that I needed to free my mind and time anyway because this is a challenging semester taking 3 ETC courses. Time management and orgnaization seem to be the main things I have to relearn. The summmer really spoiled me...lol. I think if I could have taken a summer course, it would have kept me in the swing of things. Minds at rest rust and mine became a bit rusty but I think Im making my way through.

Our team overall is great. I do feel a bit alienated but that is independent of the team. Just feel a bit behind I guess. Our team does communicate very well when it is necessary. We respond to each others' emails promptly, we compromise,etc. I feel that we really understand that group communication is vital. I have found so far no team work that has been exceptionally challenging so far, but more than likely meeting times will be a possible issue due to our various responsibilities outside of education. I was very impressed with the various points, etc about mobile learning. I have my own personal opinions about mobile learning. I feel that networking technology has multiple usages in more than the educational or business sectors. It has allowed for time-space compression and has created a global approach to learning, acquiring multiple forms of information, and communication.
I think so far our team is quite happy with each other that we are able to come together and complete our task. After our moderation is complete, then we will probably have more to share! :)

Lesson 1 Reflection

Hi Professor Chi,

Wow. This semester has been going OK for me, but the course content is great! I have learned more from classmates than I have from last semester and this is just the first lesson. I must admit that I feel a little alienated because I havent been an active participant like I desire. As far as the team collaboration goes, some of the team members have really taken advantage of numerous communication tools such as Vista Chat and email. I have had numerous live chats with teammates. I am glad that we have a leader in the team who is willing to take the reins for the sake of the team. I think we all have done our part in returning information such as email/phone,etc. I think what will be challenging is Elluminate communication possibly because of my dial-up connection and slow computer. Due to the fact that we havent done too much group work yet, it hasnt necessarily comprised a problem, but i feel eventually it will. Overall, I think our group has gotten a great start.

The lesson is great. It was nice to see the information that some of the fellow classmates gathered from the required readings. I had heard of connectivism,but never really studied the theory in depth. One of our classmates states that constructivism will be replaced by connectivism. I personally think they will work hand in hand. Thanks.

Lesson 1 Reflection

I think our team has done very well so far. We have managed to set up all our accounts, and our team governance is complete, and we have kept in contact with each other.
Some more challenging aspects have been trying to figure out exactly what all we need to accomplish and where everything is located in vista and outside of vista.
We have done well by learning the new technologies in wetpaint, delicious, blogger, google docs, etc and we still have much more to accomplish this semester but it should be interesting. I was pretty happy overall with this lesson. The concept maps are always fun. The discussion forums were interesting. I enjoyed the readings on personal learning environments and connectivism.
