  1. Chalkstar to Rockstar #05 – ds106 Is The 5th Dimension of Teaching and Learning

    chalkstarIn this podcast ds106 open participant Brian Bennett interviews Jim Groom and Alan Levine: Chalkstar to Rockstar #05
    Have you ever taken an online course and wondered if you were really doing work that was worth the effort? How much did you interact with other people in your class? Did you feel alone? Unfortunately, that’s how a lot of online courses tend to be. But not this one. Meet Jim Groom and Alan Levine, two of the minds behind what is now known simply as ds106. In this episode, I talk with Alan and Jim about how ds106 is different from anything you’ve ever heard about. We’ve got open learning platforms, criticisms of MOOCs, and shameless self promotion. You won’t be disappointed.

    Well…as if on cue, mother nature stopped the world  just long enough for me to consider where I am going with this experiment; so here it is (in a round-about way). This Christmas I gave my 81 year-old father a computer. In the space of 3 weeks he is “surfing the net” as he says, on email, and ...

    This video project was fairly easy. I found my favorite images from college so far and added them to an album. I added the entire album to iMovie and made sure all of the transitions were smooth and the images fit to the screen. Lastly, I added a song I had downloaded on my computer […]
