International Cooperation Programs for ICT Application in Basic Education of ...Bodong Chen
This document summarizes and evaluates several international cooperation programs that aimed to promote the application of information and communication technologies (ICT) in basic education in China. It finds that the programs helped train millions of teachers, improve ICT literacy, introduce new educational philosophies and concepts, and develop educational resources. However, it also notes that some programs lacked sustainability and failed to fully understand the local context.

Design to Integrate Knowledge Building with Individual Learning in Open Learn...Bodong Chen
This presentation calls for designs of new social media to fill the gap of learner communication and collaboration in current Educational Resources (OER) movement. While various OER projects have created a vast ocean of quality learning materials, comparably little effort has been put on nurturing a learner community around a single or multiple OER repositories. The Knowledge Building pedagogy which emphasizes social and cultural aspects of learning could come in and play a role in this movement. No design idea has been discussed in this presentation, but many questions that have to be answered are put forward for discussion.
The document discusses C.L.O.N.E, a portable device that expands wireless networks from individual houses to entire cities. It is targeted towards big businesses and governments to connect large groups of people. The device works by using radio waves like WiFi to transmit data between computers and routers. Implementing a system like C.L.O.N.E. could connect businesses across a city and drive connectivity and economic growth.
The document provides a list of classic novels from various genres including science fiction, fantasy, adventure, romance, and historical fiction. Some of the novels summarized are 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne, The Time Machine by H.G. Wells, Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne, Black Beauty by Anna Sewell, Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery, Emma by Jane Austen, Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, and The Story of My Life by Helen Keller. The document covers many literary classics from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
This document summarizes a presentation about helping students with research using Common Core standards. It discusses how Common Core emphasizes an in-depth research process over just learning facts. Students should practice short research projects and learn to independently conduct research. The presentation provides tips for teachers, such as leading text-based discussions and assigning projects for real audiences. It also discusses challenges students face with online research and introduces tools like a customized library media center website to help students evaluate sources and take notes.

The document introduces a Korean website called Let's CC that provides an integrated search interface for Creative Commons licensed content. It aims to make CC content easier for Korean users to search than existing options. The site will search existing platforms through their APIs and display unified results. It will also allow users to favorite and tag content, improving search results over time based on what content is popular. The goal is to create a global project through an English version to better find CC content.

An invited talk about potential multimodal indicators for assessing idea improvement in group knowledge building. Trieste, Italy. Early thoughts; comments welcomed.
C.L.O.N.E. is a small portable device that expands wireless online networks from individual houses to entire cities. It is targeted towards big businesses and governments. The document discusses how wireless networks work using radio waves, reviews statistics on wireless usage, and outlines the potential marketing and financing of C.L.O.N.E. to connect businesses across broad areas through a single wireless adapter.
The document discusses the H1N1 (Swine Flu) pandemic and its impact on education. It provides background on the virus, how it has spread, and its effects in schools. Key recommendations include educating students and staff on prevention, having plans to continue instruction if schools close, and monitoring illness in the community. Public health actions like tracking cases and providing information are aimed at preventing the virus's spread.
The Rebecca Caudill Award is given annually to the most outstanding book voted on by students in grades 4-8 in Illinois schools. Last year's winner was The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. The purpose of the award is to encourage children and young adults to read for fun and develop a lifelong interest in reading. A list of 15 books nominated for the 2010 award is then presented, each with a brief genre and plot description.
This document summarizes a study analyzing Twitter data from several Learning Analytics and Knowledge (LAK) conferences between 2011-2015. The study found that over time, there was an extended reach of Twitter participation at the conferences, denser and more reciprocal interaction networks formed, and a wider diversity of research topics were discussed. However, there was also peripheral and inconsistent participation. The study provided an overview of descriptive analyses of the Twitter data, models of the "flow" of participants between conferences and interaction networks, and analyses of hashtags and topics discussed over time. Limitations and opportunities for future related work were also discussed.

This is a presentation I gave in one of my courses in Knowledge Media Design collaborative program on Nov 4, 2010. It articulates a design challenge--idea-centered open knowledge building environment--I want to pursue in this course.
Any comment will be highly appreciated!
