Social As Pedagogy

Ryerson University sites 3 reasons for
the case against him.
 1.Learning should be hard.

 2.There is no structure of regulation
   for online behavior and that makes it
   incompatible with academic work.

 3.It is our job to protect academic
   integrity from any threat.
i.e. Unless learning is hard and is directed by others, it fails
to meet the standard for academic rigor.

Why would we want teaching and learning
              confined to
    a time and place and audience?

                                s
 When is learning richer when it’ shared?

   When might it be best kept closed?
Some things have to
change...

Wikipedia being the answer to
everything and they forget that
people can be a really great
resource.”

Sharing my work online has become a huge part
of the way I learn. Those connections make it
possible for me to gain a bigger audience,
which means, more feedback and more
learning. A lot more people are finding me now.

Rather than write my goal in a book, I decided to create my
 own t-shirt. I have worn my t-shirt at CDNIS during staff
 meetings and grade level assemblies. The response from
 staff and students has been somewhat overwhelming as
 many are keen to get a ‘daily’ update

“   When you hand someone a photo album
    or a yearbook, the first thing they will do
    is seek out their own picture.

    Knowing that, the question is:
    how often are you featuring the photo,
    name, needs or wants of your customers
    where everyone can see them?
                                    ”   Seth Godin
