Campus Session 9/11/09 audio and pics

Until I get a better system up -- I have started a .live account that should hold large files... you can download the audio of the campus workshop on 9/11/09 from http://public.me.com/paulanottingham THERE ARE 2 CHOICES - CHOOSE THE STLOUD+ FILES if you are on a standard PC - I have really upped the volume so that you can now hear it better... however if you are ok in iTunes - they might give you an unwelcome audio blast - take care.They are large fies and might take some time to download - I have not had time to edit them at this point... so they should come up in iTunes or Quicktime AND others... Please comment on the blog if you can - and I will also work on the .live (Microsoft) site.

Campus Session 9/11/09

Campus session went well - I am working on getting blogs of the intro and plenary (conclusion) up but need to work out technical issues at MDX.

Monday 9/11/09 Workshop + considering Task D

Considering Task D,

Alan and Peter are doing a workshop Monday 9/11/09 at Cat Hill G147 about TASK D and MORE! (1-4pm) ... so we should be putting more stuff up on Blog next week about the Task D. You may want to wait to get started until after you have seen the Monday workshop that is presenting materials on writing styes and professionalism. Adesola and I will also be there (Avni sent you an email about this). Adesola and I are doing a workshop related to Task E 7/12/09 (Cat Hill G147 1-4pm).

The WBS3002 Handbook , p. 23 says you can write about anything you want to - might be easier to keep to the same topic as you can then see the writing style differences readily. There is an example about why a Theatre company chose a particular play during a particular time period and at a particular venue. The it is written up using 3 different writing styles. It might be an idea to brainstorm several examples to do and then make choices. The episode, event or experience should have enough content in it to give you a lot of detail to write about. It does not say they have to come from your career, but it would make sense to use examples that you would use in your workplace environment - whatever that is. I'm sure we will have discussions about this on Monday. You should also be keeping up with your learning diary during this time.

PLEASE COME TO THE CAMPUS SESSIONS IF POSSIBLE. We will put up materials from the sessions on our Blogs after they occur.

Considering Kolb - Peter's Blog

Peter's blog about Kolb and learning from experience is worth a look. Kolb's book Experiential Learning 1984 goes into detail about his cycle and learning- with links to Piaget (you might have heard of him from working with children), Lewin and Dewey. Dewey did a lot of writing about learning from experience, putting the 'doing' or practice at the same level as learning 'theory' - he also gave us the Dewey decimal system for the library!

MY Teachers lineage can look like a family tree...

The My Teachers lineage diagram, if you are doing one, can look like a family tree... anyone want to put up an example for others?
