Well, I was surfing through some old tweets and have been contemplating what my final project will be about and I decided to do something like a matinee for this blog. Condensed underneath here you will find about twenty of the ELIFS09 tweets from the field trip day. Going over to Moody library for class that day was great, if I may say.
- JeffSteely From human computer interaction to interaction amongst humans and computers #ELIFS09
- roanone102 Interaction design – pedagogy, archit. & design, tech interactions , social interactions ; thinking about this in re: library inst. #elifs09
- sarspri2 need for students to understand their ROLES vis-a-vis the technology — not just how to USE the technology #elifs09 pobiner
- sarspri2 interaction design = all of these things together, how we do stuff #elifs09 pobiner (architects of learning envts need to reflect on this)
- FluffTheBunny @mbgough I can has Heisenberg compensator? #elifs09
- thdrummer Integration is essentially interaction across the various media. It’s pretty schmazing… #elifs09
- GardnerCampbell Integrate pedagogy + social interaction + human/computer interaction + architecture/design=interaction design. #elifs09
- sarspri2 pobinger #elifs09 – creating head space for collaboration … integrating pedagogy, social interaction, human/computer, arch & design
- eriXnet #ELIFS09 I had no idea that there was such an intricate world behind how people learn/interact with each other… truly amazing stuff
- GardnerCampbell Task-Artifact Cycle. Both tasks and *the way the task is perceived* create headspace for collaboration IF SHARED. (Amen) #elifs09
- grinnpidgeon why am I thinking of failed committee work as the worst of collaboration? #elifs09
- GardnerCampbell @ariadneaberin Thanks for being here, Ariadne! #elifs09 #nmsf09
- ehampton #nmsf09 class – you guys are rocking with the 140-character observations about #elifs09!
- GardnerCampbell establish, enact, and monitor/modify collaboration network. (Missed one.) #elifs09
- eriXnet #ELIFS09 Technology is merely a medium, the collaboration is a self-driven and conscious decision… anyone can use a computer.
- MiriamTaylor Eli Fall Focus 09-Collaborative Learning #elifs09 Completly online conference with breakout sessions and backchannel chatting. Very cool
- lrosen Technology may bring people together but it doesn’t make them collaborate. The activity may be collaborative w/ or w/o the tech. #elifs09
- sarspri2 Differentiating between tech “bringing people together” vs truly collaborating #elifs09 – example of three screens and group’s workflow dr. campbell, i wish i could stay but i have class at 12 30. That’s a good point; things like webcams are great but don’t promote community. It’s truly a dynamic medium
The fact that we used three different monitors for class really made a difference. We were able to listen and watch what the presenter was saying while thinking out loud on twitter all while witnessing the discussion on a site I’m not familiar with. I found this “collage” of new media utterly fascinating. It held my attention better than any teacher has simply because I (and many of my peers) are so trained to multitask. In Chapel today, a social scientist from Yale named Shawn Achor spoke to us about habits. He noted that we, as humans, are the most effective workers, friends, and other such “jobs” when we are used to what we are doing. Most importantly, though, he said one has to enjoy what one is doing; and I know I enjoy being busy. Listening to one professor for an entire hour, or more, though beneficial, is excruciatingly crippling for me. I prefer the chaos.
