I used to think… rethinking over-simplified notions about digital literacies

Posted on October 18, 2021 by Verily Tan

I was exposed to the terms “digital natives” around 2005 (Prensky, 2001). It seemed a fascinating idea through the lens of my observations of my students and nephews. They pick up photo and video editing with much less effort than I could and constantly multi task while on social media and tackling homework. Indeed it … Continue reading I used to think… rethinking over-simplified notions about digital literacies

First subject handed in

Posted on October 15, 2021 by Pierre Sjöberg

Today our group finished the work that begun with scenario 1. The scenario described the anxiety a teacher could have as a beginner of online teaching. During our fist meeting we had brainstorming of how we should proceed. We came up a lot of very different ideas and decided to think about how to do […]

Attending first week’s meeting!

Posted on September 21, 2021 by Pierre Sjöberg

Actually I am still amazed by the possibilities opened by technology. Even though I have been using Zoom a lot during the pandemic I am impressed the our group distributed over several continents can come together live to discuss and share experiences not only professional but also personal. This way we are already after two […]

This blog has been set up for ONL212 course. So, here I ponder, wonder, ask and create new meanings of online networked learning. Welcome!

Moving Forward

Posted on May 23, 2021 by KHO Su Yian

All too soon, I feel, the course has come to an end. I’m afraid I was not at my best in the last few weeks, as I suffered a tragedy in the family, and am still recovering from it. For this, I apologise to my team PBL08, for my absences and subpar performance. I mustContinue reading “Moving Forward”

Topic 5: Lessons learnt – future practice

Posted on May 18, 2021 by sara boundok

Unfortunately, the journey had come to an end. Being at this course ONL 211 was very exciting and a fresh experience that came to me at the right time of my career, although it was very foggy, ambiguous and challenging at the start, but the outcome was really worthwhile. At the beginning of the course,Continue reading “Topic 5: Lessons learnt – future practice”

Topic 5 – The deep future of online learning

Posted on May 17, 2021May 19, 2021 by Gunnar KarlssonLeave a Comment

A topic not directly addressed in the course is the depth of learning for the students. I am not sure that better engagement necessarily leads to deeper learning of a topic; it might, but it could also lead to, well, greater engagement, meaning more time spent on the course. Not all learning activities lead to […]

Topic 5: Reflectionata

Posted on May 17, 2021 by Jari Vepsäläinen

This is my final post of the course, my last lullaby, my reflection sonata. It has been an educational experience in a casual and relaxed atmosphere. Our PBL group 8 had really great facilitators (Patrik and Natalie), who kept us up to date about everything, and anything, course related. We had 100% freedom to go […]

Topic 4: Will it blend?

Posted on May 17, 2021 by Jari Vepsäläinen

Blended learning is a hot topic, since the post-covid world might force us to use more blended classes, where some students are present physically and others virtually (=remotely). Blended learning also means that internet tools, such as Kahoot, are applied in the classroom – which can then also be utilised by remotely participating students, so […]

Topic 5: Lessons learnt – future practice

Posted on May 15, 2021 by Mika Sipponen

From digital literacy to collaborative learning and more – the ONL211 course has been an eye-opening experience. It’s a course with participants from various disciplines working in small and large groups and learning from each other. Many exotic ingredients and previously unknown spices blended into a refreshing smoothie that – once finished – invites backContinue reading “Topic 5: Lessons learnt – future practice”
