I keep coming across great questions which really make me stop and think.
George Siemens asked four really thought provoking questions in the Networked Learning Conference 2010 Hot Seat
What skills/attributes do learners need in order to learn effectively with networked technologies?
What role will educators need to fulfill in networked learning environments?
Can learning networks (partly) replace the [...]

Many online courses now require students to collaborate, but we know that just putting people together in the same space isn’t enough? What should a tutor do to prepare students for collaborative tasks?
Gilly Salmon’s 5-stage model provides very good guidelines on how to prepare for collaborative tasks online. These are usually designed into Stage 4 of [...]

Here is the next set of questions (following on from previous posts which have raised questions about teaching with technology – for me teaching with technology means teaching online).
How has your daily routine changed? What changes have you had to make to how you organise and manage your time?
I have to say that I hate routine and resist [...]

My third question in this series (from the list I posted) is: How has your role changed as a result of working with technology?
Recently – it hasn’t changed a lot, since I have been working and teaching online for a number of years now. Just writing this has made me wonder whether I am in [...]

How do you ensure that learners engage with the technology?
This is the second question from my list and my immediate response is similar to my initial thoughts about the last question. My primary concern, as a teacher, is to engage learners with learning. Technology is only a tool – a means to an end.
Most of my career [...]

Tell me how and why you use technology in your teaching.
How do you ensure that learners engage with the technology?
How has your role changed as a result of working with technology?
How has your daily routine changed?
How do you encourage [...]

This is taken from George’s blog. I have responded to his questions below.
I often hear educators talking about “education needs to change” (I do it too). This is the case for the K-12, higher education, and corporate training/education markets.
As a small research project, I’d like to ask people to answer the following questions (on their blog, [...]

I really enjoyed Howard Rheingold’s Elluminate session today and there was lots there to comment on, but I would like to listen to the session again and reflect a little further before doing so.
But Howard’s session, and thinking about how teachers and learners are changing, for some reason reminded me of a past student of [...]

I am a week behind! I’m still thinking about whether the teacher’s role will change in the light of connectivism and increasing use of advanced web 2.0 technologies and if so, what might be the associated difficulties.
I have been a teacher for more than 40 years and have formally taught all ages from children of 4 years old [...]

I’m definitely feeling the absence of a reading this week. It feels like a critical week and yet, at the moment, for me there is something missing. Was Stephen’s demonstration of power last week too much of a distraction. It certainly led to all sorts of discussion about whether the course is failing or not.
I have [...]
