Making Sense of Open Education – Day 11

June 13, 2018June 14, 2018 / Steven Secord / Leave a comment

Day 11 of the #MakingSense18 MOOC was about looking inward at our own practices and what we do so as to improve ourselves as Open Educators. I really liked Nascimbeni and Brugos definition of an Open Educator. So much so that I've copied it here for others to read as well. An Open Educator choses … Continue reading Making Sense of Open Education – Day 11

Making Sense of Open Education – Day 9

Today's topic was about Inclusive Design and the importance of it in Open Education and Open Educational Resources (OERs). One of the activity choices for today was to use some freely available online tools to check an OER and determine how well it does. I decided I wanted to run some of these checks on … Continue reading Making Sense of Open Education – Day 9

Making Sense of Open Education – Day 8

June 8, 2018June 14, 2018 / Steven Secord / Leave a comment

Today's module was titled "Tooling Around in the Open" and it involved us using an open tool to create an Open Educational Resource (OER) that might help newcomers to Open Education distinguish between an open and a closed tool. I decided to play around with H5P and create a drag and drop activity, as seen … Continue reading Making Sense of Open Education – Day 8

June 4, 2018June 13, 2018 / Steven Secord / Leave a comment

As I was unable to get to posting yesterday's activity, I am going to try and combine the Day 3 and Day 4 posts all in one. Day 3 was a bit of a historical trip into Open Learning and Open Education Practice/Resources. The activity for the day was to think about how one of … Continue reading Making Sense of Open Education – Days 3 & 4

Collaboration – For more than just a PLN

June 4, 2018May 29, 2018 / Steven Secord / Leave a comment

This week we start the Collaborator Module and I was delighted to be asked to write the introductory blog post for it. As you might have already gleaned from the previous weeks the Ontario Extend Modules are based very much on Simon Bates’ Anatomy of 21st Century Educators so I figured I’d start with his … Continue reading Collaboration – For more than just a PLN

Today's activity revolves around sharing our own experience with being part of an open community. We were given the choice of either A) identifying as new to the open community and sharing what we feel we have to contribute and what we hope to receive from the community or B) identifying as involved in an … Continue reading Making Sense of Open Education – Day 2

It is not too late). Our instructions for the first day were: Find (or make) and share a video, web … Continue reading Making Sense of Open Education – Day 1

Metaphor for Teaching

May 30, 2018May 30, 2018 / Steven Secord / Leave a comment

This blog post is in response to "Your Metaphor" from the Teaching for Learning Activity Bank of Ontario Extend. The activity asks us to think of a metaphor for our own teaching and learning experience. My first thought was to use a song metaphor, such as the Dixie Chicks' Wide Open Spaces: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dom7VlltBUc or Tom … Continue reading Metaphor for Teaching

 The final activity for the Collaborators Module has us mapping out a Personal Learning  Network (PLN). This is a great exercise as it gives us the ability to visualize our connections. I decided to start with my #Extend PLN, however, I'd like to eventually add all of the connections I've made using Twitter, my … Continue reading Mapping my Extend PLN

This post is in response to the activity from the Ontario Extend bank titled "Extending your PLN". Building my PLN over the past couple of years has been a very rewarding exercise for me. Having worked in a very solitary environment (correctional facility) for 12 years prior to returning to school to complete my M.Ed., … Continue reading Extending your PLN – Extenders4Life
