A Spoodle in Space - The Space Tourist Chronicles

-
Image
  Blast off on a wild space adventure! We're crammed into our battered little Subi spacecraft, heading to the dusty outpost of Outpost Aurum. Our mission: to reach the ocean planet of Oceanus Station. Join us as we station-hop through space, in a calamity of errors, as intrepid space tourists.  Script Our battered Subi spacecraft, a relic of pre-Collapse Jump engineering, groaned under the weight. Myself, BK, and Katcha, the genetically modified spoodle with its enhanced olfactory sensors, along with enough protein paste to outlast a minor vacuum breach, were crammed inside.  A brand-new Brass Monkey cryo-unit hummed in the boot, our lifeline for the long haul. Our mission: a jump from Beagal's orbital dock to the dusty outpost of Outpost Aurum, a waypoint on the long haul to Oceanus Station, a planet known for vast oceans. Outpost Aurum, a rumoured oasis of functional grav plating, was our first target. Beagal's orbital dock was a pressure cooker of recycled air and stal...

Social Networks & Education

-

Social Media is such a big business, education cannot ignore it.

Echo Chamber
  • You select what you want to read about it
  • You make critical decisions on what you want to experience
  • Your stream of blogs and microblogs
  • The forums you want to be in
  • You select the information based on who you trust
How students gain information
  • How adults and youth gain information and use information is different
  • Teens (54%) get news from social media
  • More and more adults get news from social media, however, many feel this is a problem and are concerned by the mix of news that people see each day.
  • Teachers use social media to get new teaching ideas, find resources, stay on top of trends and news and connect with other educators
Cybersafety is a major concern facing schools
  • Teachers & schools need a social media strategy
  • Strategies to increase learning engagement
  • Strategies for inclusion
  • Strategies for co-creation
  • Strategies to protect student and teacher identity
Social media is an ecosystem
  • It changes rapidly
  • It is complex
  • It is about people interacting with people
  • It is about clear communication
  • It requires cognitive input
  • It is about influencing other people
  • It is about networks
The challenge
  • Enabling collaboration based assessment
  • The classroom is about interaction, not the individual 
  • The rapid change from one social media to the next
  • Use of personal accounts
  • Engineering dynamic feedback loops
  • The learning shift is not the technical use but the actual communication
Teacher Role
  • The teacher is not the facilitator
  • The teacher is the change agents
  • Teach participation
  • Stimulate communication and collaboration
  • Teach diversity of information
  • Teach how to seek, receive and apply feedback
  • Teach how to produce creative solutions

Travel Australia Darwin to Daly Waters

-
Image
  DAY ONE Our trusty Subaru Forester was packed with me, my partner Brenda, Katchalla (our concerned but enthusiastic spoodle), and enough snacks to survive a tiny apocalypse. With our brand new Brass Monkey securely tucked into the boot, we set off on our mission: the first leg of an epic journey from Darwin to Ulladulla, NSW, with Daly Waters shimmering in our minds as our initial oasis. We departed from Darwin, the tropical humidity clinging to us like a second skin. After about 98 kilometers, the promise of caffeine lured us into the Adelaide River Country Store. Brenda, ever the coffee connoisseur, declared their coffee to be "a damn good coffee," which is a high compliment indeed. Meanwhile, Katcha sniffed around, searching for the right spot to relieve himself and stumbled upon the store's no dickhead policy. Back on the Stuart Highway, the landscape began to slowly transform. The lush greens of Darwin gradually gave way to the more resilient vegetation of the outb...
