Wow! What just happened? I read the first reading by McLinden and Trochim. Maybe it's just me but I still don't know what I read. For me, they complicated something that is relatively straight forward. I then downloaded the Inspiration software and attempted to make a Concept Map (see attached). I have no idea if I'm even in the ballpark with this one. I must admit though, the software made it simple to do.
Then I read the Jigsaw and The Perfect E-Storm papers. Thoroughly enjoyed both of them. I felt like my brain was still working after reading them.
This week has been frustrating for me. It's already Saturday and I feel like I've accomplished very little this week. On a more positive note, I developed a blog for one of my face to face classes this week. I'm experimenting with it as both a learning tool and an assessment. That's progress!
Hoop,
ReplyDeleteI like the image, are you looking towards retirement? :-) I think your concept map is right on, clear and descriptive. I felt the readings this week were long and drawn out; I don't know if I could even tell you what they are about right now; the week was hectic!! See you in Instructional Design.

I think the readings you're talking about were too short on pictures, so what they were talking about wasn't as clear as it could have been. If you'd never done concept mapping before, it was hard to understand. One of those times where they assume the audience is on the same page. As the kids would say, NOT!

Some weeks truly are more productive than others, aren't they? I'm glad to hear you developed a blog for one of your f2f classes. That's something to feel good about!
ReplyDeleteKeep us posted on how that works.
