Donor Dash - Be a Hero!

China is a student at USA and a Student Assistant in the College of Education (who we love very much!). She has organized this Donor Dash in honor of her younger brother, Tyler, who was killed in a car accident last year. Through his gift of organ donation Tyler was able to extend the life of others. We hope you will join the Donor Dash and help raise awareness of the need for organ donors.  

USA Common Read/Common World

Very happy to announce that USA will join a number of other outstanding universities and colleges with common book programs. Our "Common Read/Common World" program will begin in the fall and run through the 2013-2014 academic year. This year's selection is Half the Sky, by Nick Kristoff and Sheryl WuDunn. I can't say enough good things about this book. You have to read it. As a bit of lagniappe, there's also a fantastic documentary which supplements the book.

If you have suggestions for activities to support the Common Read/Common World program, feel free to contact me.

With all that's been going on lately I neglected to share the great news that the USA COE had its Ed.D. In Ed Leadership with concentrations in K-12 and Higher Ed, approved by ACHE to begin in Fall 2014. I'm over the moon about this and would love to talk with anyone interested in the program.

MOOCs...again

SITE General session and keynote with Paul Kim of Stanford University

"Designing a New Learning Environment with a MOOC"

gse-it.stanford.edu/about/team/paulkim

*Dr. Kim and I are the same age, but reviewing his accomplishments I feel like a real slacker.

MOOCs must have a purpose. What is the andragogy? What are the system features?

7 billion people on earth. 3 billion mobile phones on earth.

Mobile learning is being made available for children who have never owned a book. Dr. Park distributes mobile phones to children in poor areas around the world and tells them he got them from aliens and has no idea how they work. The children assure Dr. Park they will help him figure out how the devices work...and that's how they learn.

Dr. Kim's efforts focus on moving from remembering and understanding in the classroom to creating.

Sustainability and scalability of projects is always a challenge. 25% of 450,000 notebook computers distributed to children in Uruguay are still being used. Dr. Kim wants to know why.

"Cultural DNA" - very hard to change our mind sets about how learning should occur. In class vs. mobile learning.

Teachers may not be the only source of knowledge these days.

Dr. Kim created a MOOC "Designing a New Learning Environment," to get help thinking outside the box about learning. He had 20,000+ enrollees from over 100 countries.

*For the rest of the presentation I struggled with Internet connection problems. So I will publish link to Dr. Kim's MOOC for you to explore.

Here it is! http://venturelab.stanford.edu/education
 
Postscript: Dr. Kim mentioned Anya Kamenetz's book "DIY U: Edupunks, Edupreneurs, and the Coming Transformation of Higher Education," and asked who in the audience had read it. My response:

#siteconf Does it make me a dork that I was proud to say I had read @anya1anyaDIY U when Dr. Paul Kim asked in his presentation on MOOCs?
— Peggy Delmas (@PeggyDelmas) March 27, 2013

#siteconf AND I required @anya1anya DIY U as text for higher ed leadership class! Great stuff.
— Peggy Delmas (@PeggyDelmas) March 27, 2013

The best part is that the goddess herself, Anya Kamenetz, retweeted the second tweet! I can't figure out how to embed her retweet here, but I promise you it was the highlight of the conference for my nerdy little higher ed-lovin' self.

Open Educational Designs:

A Taxonomy for Differentiating and Classifying Open Learning Environments
with Fred Baker and Dr. Dan Surry, University of South Alabama


diigo - for bookmarking (note to self: check it out)

*Disclaimer - my typing skills on iPad can't keep up with pace of presentation, so here is what I managed to capture

Connective digital technologies enable: transparency in learning ecosystem, lifelong learning, organic system structures.

An open dialogue is taking place between learners and educators , and the line is getting blurred.

Principles of openness = respect and freedom

Purpose of course will dictate degree of openness.

Who owns, controls data? How do we define, measure, track success? Here's where we're really lacking.

Drawbacks to instructing in this environment: Unpredictability, sensationalized by media

Benefits: Flexible and motivating for learner, Fosters participation, Helps remove politics from learning environment

Open Education is a "Grand Experiment"

More "SITE-ings"

SITE = Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education

www.site.aace.org

This is my first time attending the SITE conference, which has 1,500 attendees presently. I understand from Dan Surry that USA COE is dominating with oodles of presentations by faculty and grad students -- yay us!

I've scoped out sessions on educational uses of Twitter (my newest obsession in case you hadn't noticed, @PeggyDelmas), distance Ed, and VoiceThread, among others.

One of the great things about conferences is the interesting people you meet. I sat in the "first timers" session earlier with a couple from Nova Scotia! The gentleman related to me that their weather back home was -2 Celsius...a quick converter search on Google translated that into 28 Fahrenheit. Brrrr. Even though things are chilly here in the Big Easy, we know that warmer temps are just around the corner. These hardy Nova Scotians won't get warm until May-ish. Have I said lately that I love living in the South?

SITE Conference

Blogger has been really wonky for me this morning and I left my conference name badge in my hotel room AND I don't feel great...but then one of the kind ladies in registration reprinted my name badge so I wouldn't have to go back to my hotel to fetch it, and I saw my USA colleagues and co-presenters Susan Santoli and Paige Vitulli, and hey, I'm in New Orleans with a lot of smart people who love education and technology, so chin up buttercup, everything's gonna be okay.

Helping Students Develop Their Digital Identity

NASPA session with Lisa Endersby from University of Ontario Institute of Technology and Inside Higher Ed's Eric Stoller . Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, twitter, tumblr., and google+' oh my!

Social media allows us to follow student development, digitally. So the good, the bad, and the ugly is all out there. But also unique ways to use social media, like Wake Forest's "Compliments" page.

Privacy in a social space is a fallacy.

Validation is easy to come by through social media ("likes", etc. ), so students will experiment or try these things out in those environments.

What are we doing on our campus to help students develop their digital identities? Orientation, Res Life, Career Services, Counseling? Good question. Others report that students complain they've already "had these conversations" in high school and don't want to hear a lecture. Some campuses allow students to run some organization/office social media accounts. Others have departments dedicated to offering training for departments and students on social media.

To complicate things, there are also multiple identities for multiple communities. For example, a RA has a professional identity on social media as well as a personal identity as a student. Show students examples of appropriate/inappropriate use of social media. For example, even corporations have screwed up and posted inappropriate messages -- Red Cross, GM.

Need to talk to freshmen in First Year courses about LinkedIn, rather than in senior year when a lot of questionable material may already be out there on the Internet where employers can find it.

Sometimes "safe" means "sanitized." Endersby advocates for "brave spaces," in which students acknowledge mess ups, and address those issues.

Generation Tightrope

Listening to Drs. Arthur Levine and Diane Dean at NASPA Conference talk about their new book, "Generation Tightrope: A Portrait of Today's College Student." Makes me feel very elder statesman, but I've got to get the book!

Here's the essence of what the researchers found regarding today's college student.

Digital natives
Most diverse, more global
More connected, yet more isolated
Most coddled, pampered
In worst economy

So colleges need to educate for:

Life in a time of profound change
Life in a digital society
Life in a diverse, global society
Life in an evolving information economy
Civic engagement

More MOOC News

I JUST brought the topic of MOOCs up at yesterday's Advising Council meeting -- discussing ways in which our students might use MOOCs. Most obvious was taking MOOCs to prep for CLEP tests (don't you just love Education's alphabet soup?).

Now this from Inside Higher Ed...

California lawmaker pushing state institutions to accept MOOCs for credit.

"The proposal is certain to draw plenty of attention in California and beyond. Its symbolic importance is enormous, observers said, as lawmakers in the nation’s largest state look for help from nonaccredited, for-profit companies to meet student demand. And the legislation could create the most promising credit-bearing path to emerge for MOOCs, which have been touted as a “disruptive” force in higher education."
