In this Instructor's Notes, I share the common feedback for the Assignment 2: Analysis of Pedagogy InfoDoc, Lesson 2 discussions to advance your learning, and Lesson journal. Read them carefully. I will continue to post the "Instructor's Notes" regularly to guide you throughout the class. I have higher expectations on your learning performances than in ETC645 since this is the most advanced course in the ETC curriculum. I know you can accomplish it.   Assignment 2: Analysis of Pedagogy InfoDoc Take a close look at the template. Start gathering your ideas, and resources. It is a labor-intensive assignment.   Assignment 3: Open Network Technology Training Prepare ahead for the training session. It is a "real-time" PD. Planning, and executing are crucial. Watch previous students' sessions to gather ideas. For those of you who have multiple partners, seamless collaboration is needed. Static presentation, or show & tell are no...

(Same message posted to course twitter & discussion notes)   ETC655 Students,   Here are the instructor's notes #1 for Lesson 2. Read them carefully to enrich your learning.   Lesson 1 Journal Entry I relished reading all your first journal entries. Many of them were very reflective and informative. I am very proud of those who take time to complete your journal entries. Yes, I do respond to all your journal entries. I will do so for all upcoming journal entries because I value the dialogues that we carried. In 7 ½ weeks, the instruction progresses rapidly. We often overlook the importance of reflecting on our learning. In ETC655, we focus on "Connectivism" and "Open Network Learning Environment" that require us to reflect our learning constantly to just-in-time learning adjustment. I know several of you may have said I wrote more than you put in. Yes, I believe engaging such deep reflection with you is as critical as te...

Due to the short course length, the first week of instruction include Lesson 1: Orientation & Lesson 2. We need to complete Assignment 1: Personal Identity Chart (PIC). In addition, signing up a group ASAP since we have a significant amount of group work in our class. When you complete Lesson 1 requirements, start preparing Lesson 2 instruction.
