Jetlagged and a bit lost. Body clock is somewhere in mid-Atlantic timezone. I was in San Jose last week for the Frontiers in Education conference (FIE2018). So here I am, trying to catch up with what happened during my offline period. In a course where online engagement is expected, I feel slightly guilty that it just has not been possible to find time to be present.
Our PBL group has just had the third meeting. The discussion went straight into hats. Now imagine my puzzled and slow brain (and face) doing its best to make sense of what the hats meant. Thanks to my very engaged group, I was able to feel less dumb as the conversation unfolded. Could this be the reason why some people find it hard to participate in the sometimes chaotic learning practice of the digital world? We cannot be that agile all the time!
Luckily I had read the suggest article and watched David White’s videos (great sources!) so at least I had an idea of what was being said on the visitors and residents conversation, puh! I agree with Sara that the second video is the best for those in academia. I really like David’s reflection on how a resident approach to education is unlikely to be seen in a near future.
Webinar in topic 1
After watching Sara’s webinar, I started thinking about ownership and privacy in the online world. The way information is governed has a huge impact on how safe we perceive it is to be part of the digital revolution. In order to put my knowledge to use, here is a screenshot of Sara’s webinar with the CC BY SA copyright licence used by Sara. According to her, this gives us the right to apply the 5 Rs as long as attribution is given.

Am I a resident or a visitor?
I think I am moving constantly from one block to another. I welcome convenience and can accept ‘good enough’ every now and then but depending on the context, legitimacy, authority and accuracy are necessary. I would say what I look for is often evidence. I believe learning should be based on all the evidence available today – what works and what doesn’t.
