- 1. Synthesis Quest Social/Collaborative Learning By Ashley-Nicole Cortez ITEC 299 Ashley-Nicole Cortez
- 2. Brief overview… In this project we will be glancing at social and collaborative learning and how they engage our learning preferences through the technologies mentioned We will be focusing on: Exploring this technology Synthesizing the experience How you’ll use it in the future Ashley-Nicole Cortez
- 3. Which Technologies I explored… Social Bookmarking Focused on active learning Social Networking Sites Focused on active learning Games and MMORPGs Focused on active/verbal/visual learning Ashley-Nicole Cortez
- 4. Exploring the tech… Social Bookmarking Folksonomy Great for finding research material for academic writing Allows for collaborative note taking Able to share web documents w/classmates Social Networking Sites Good for staying connected with students/teachers Allows for discussion and feedback with others Able to make connections that can lead to job opportunities Games Good for interacting with material you are trying to learn deBugger MMORPG helps CS students learn to read/write code Great for gaining practical knowledge Ashley-Nicole Cortez
- 5. Synthesize the experience… What worked Social bookmarking Social Networking Sites What didn’t Games/MMORPGs Ashley-Nicole Cortez
- 6. Synthesize the experience… Why it worked. Social Bookmarking collaborative effort Efficient organization method Effective method of collective gathering data and sharing it with others Social Networking Sites Allows for interaction with students Helps you share knowledge and retain it Offers you connectivity with a large number of students Why it didn’t Games Too much emphasis on mechanics of what I was learning Not enough conceptual learning to tie practical knowledge together Engaged a lot of learning preferences with to much emphasis placed on memorization Got carried away with “game” aspect instead of learning Needed time for more reflection between levels Ashley-Nicole Cortez
- 7. In the future… Social Networking Sites provide a good means of staying connected with classmates and peers and I believe this strategy has great potential for me beyond this class because: 1. It can be used for peer review and collaborative projects (GitHub) 2. It can help me get one-on-one tutoring (SmarThinking) 3. It can help me connect with other people who have similar interests or the same major 4. It can notify me of job openings and could potentially be useful with keeping me in touch with people who are hiring Ashley-Nicole Cortez
- 8. In the future… Social Bookmarking Moving forward, I anticipate that Social Bookmarking will continue to help me learn because of the following reasons: 1. It is a great way to access quality information that has proven useful for others 2. Sharing class notes and documents allows students to communicate and participate outside the classroom 3. It is a good alternative to regular Google searches 4. Can be used by employers to keep employees informed of rules and general practices in the workplace 5. Folksonomy can be utilized in educational settings as well as job related settings Ashley-Nicole Cortez
