On constructive feedback

Posted on September 25, 2019 by Ana Maria Barral

ONL192 started for our group (#2) at full speed. Not to brag, but we already had two synchronous meetings spanning several time zones, with participants taking commitments and procedures seriously. That does not mean we are a “serious” bunch- there have been plenty of laughs and smiles during the meetings. So far, so good! A […]

Airmanship & Learning: Musings Before ONL192

Posted on September 22, 2019 by Ana Maria Barral

When I started the ONL191 journey in February, I posted a picture of me jumping in the Anza-Borrego desert (California) as the image for my blog posting.

Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning

Posted on April 12, 2019 by Ana Maria Barral

Topic 3 of the ONL191 course was difficult. For a number of personal circumstances (myself included) only a few could participate in each synchronous lesson. The ones I participated in included interesting and thought provoking discussions. Two major issues came together, the collaborative and the online aspect of learning. How to make them work at […]

करोडौँको भीडमा, एउटी यस्ती केटी छे जो मलाई बिछट्टै माया गर्छु गर्छु भन्छे अनिदा रातहरु, खै सपनी के देखी छे तिम्रै लागि जिउँछु अनि मर्छु मर्छु भन्छे करोडौँको भीडमा, एउटी […]…
