In search for a compass in the cyber terrain by Anders Green https://padlet.com/anders_green/b1ewwjoxrye2 Gathering the first week's impressions and thoughts en-us 2018-10-08 12:03:11 UTC 2026-03-28 15:39:21 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Basketball.png Presenting in the 21st century has been developing fast. Some years ago relying on PowerPoint could be quite a challenge. anders_green https://padlet.com/anders_green/b1ewwjoxrye2/wish/290247259

This presentation helped us adapt to the new tools for learning, as the digital immigrants we most likely are. Or feel like. anders_green https://padlet.com/anders_green/b1ewwjoxrye2/wish/290252468 2018-10-08 12:17:55 UTC https://padlet.com/anders_green/b1ewwjoxrye2/wish/290252468 The generation aspect has been a recurrent theme in our discussions, but we've agreed upon seeing beyond that. Age is not the entire explanation, and younger learners can too tremble when it comes to using IT. Most of us can be anxious, and successful. anders_green https://padlet.com/anders_green/b1ewwjoxrye2/wish/290720466 2018-10-09 13:27:46 UTC https://padlet.com/anders_green/b1ewwjoxrye2/wish/290720466 anders_green https://padlet.com/anders_green/b1ewwjoxrye2/wish/290729151 2018-10-09 13:41:03 UTC https://padlet.com/anders_green/b1ewwjoxrye2/wish/290729151 anders_green https://padlet.com/anders_green/b1ewwjoxrye2/wish/290729761 2018-10-09 13:42:01 UTC https://padlet.com/anders_green/b1ewwjoxrye2/wish/290729761 anders_green https://padlet.com/anders_green/b1ewwjoxrye2/wish/290730025 2018-10-09 13:42:28 UTC https://padlet.com/anders_green/b1ewwjoxrye2/wish/290730025 The tweety bird anders_green https://padlet.com/anders_green/b1ewwjoxrye2/wish/290742644 For most of us in Group 11 there's a new bird in town....

And for us to understand learning and the usage of IT from a learner's point of view. anders_green https://padlet.com/anders_green/b1ewwjoxrye2/wish/290748010

Seeing how tradtional books and articles being challenged by imprints from a web is not easy. And what about blogging? A tool we unwillingly(?) have to adjust as a requirement during the course.  ]]> 2018-10-09 14:28:04 UTC https://padlet.com/anders_green/b1ewwjoxrye2/wish/290764796 One of our fears is the digital footprints we leave behind. ykathryn220 https://padlet.com/anders_green/b1ewwjoxrye2/wish/291089466 2018-10-10 06:33:17 UTC https://padlet.com/anders_green/b1ewwjoxrye2/wish/291089466 Digital Literacy ykathryn220 https://padlet.com/anders_green/b1ewwjoxrye2/wish/291098764 2018-10-10 07:09:52 UTC https://padlet.com/anders_green/b1ewwjoxrye2/wish/291098764 For us digital immigrants, we are learning a second or third digital language. And taking the language skills for granted is hazardous and nerve wrecking. https://padlet.com/anders_green/b1ewwjoxrye2/wish/291127684 2018-10-10 08:49:44 UTC https://padlet.com/anders_green/b1ewwjoxrye2/wish/291127684 Reducing the anxiety bjorn_hagstromer https://padlet.com/anders_green/b1ewwjoxrye2/wish/291586669 When organizing courses online, it is important to reduce the fears and anxieties students may have related to the "resident / institutional" setting.

The key to do so, we think, is to:
  • Create an open, accepting, and friendly learning environment;
  • Be aware of and analyse the students’ values, expectations, and anxieties;
  • Utilize mini-essays, real-world examples, and games to make the subject matter more accessible.
Just like the organizers of ONL181 has done over the first few weeks.
