https://krnhaines.wordpress.com/2010/02
Archive for February, 2010. February 18, 2010. At work we are just beginning to use Ning as a social network with our Int level students, with the idea of it perhaps developing as a portfolio space where they can showcase their work and language growth. Any suggestions from anyone else who has found this works (or not) for them? You are currently browsing the Learning Curve. Blog archives for February, 2010. Who dares to teach must never cease to learn. Language is the mother, not the servant, of thought.

TESOL EVO Electronic Village Online 2006 workshop Co-blog connecting language teachers all over the world. Monday, March 13, 2006. Decided that I have lurked for too long. I'm Karen Haines, teaching in NZ and working with students who are doing intensive English study before they can go to mainstream academic classes here. I came late to this workshop at EVO2006 as I was doing a couple of others (podcasting and BAW) and it all took too much time! I shall continue to lurk. 5:41 PM, March 16, 2006. Digital...

BlendKit MOOC week 2 reading | Learning Curve
https://krnhaines.wordpress.com/2015/03/06/blendkit-mooc-week-2-reading
Laquo; BlendKit MOOC week 1 reading. BlendKit MOOC wk 3 Reading. BlendKit MOOC week 2 reading. March 6, 2015. This week’s reading was all about interaction and planning for it to occur in blended environments. Dziuban, Hartman, and Mehaffy (2014) observe that. The four models below all blend the expertise of the educator with the learner as doer. But how much do learners actually need to be taught? John Seely Brown’s notion of studio or atelier learning. Curtis Bonk’s notion of educator as concierge.

https://krnhaines.wordpress.com/2015/06/12/giving-learners-choices
Laquo; Web 2.0 creativity tools MOOC week 3. Learning as meaning-making and the importance of learner choice. June 12, 2015. Reminded again about the debunking of the learning styles myth, which still creeps into conversations with teachers … this time by a blogpost by Cathy Moore. So how do we give our learners choices? Choice of platform or tool? Choice of different access to resources? 8217; vs ‘Do it however works for you’. How do we get learners to engage with concepts? Has links to easy, approachab...

BlendKit MOOC wk 4 | Learning Curve
https://krnhaines.wordpress.com/2015/03/19/blendkit-mooc-wk-4
Laquo; BlendKit MOOC wk 3 Reading. BlendKit MOOC wk 5 reading. BlendKit MOOC wk 4. March 19, 2015. I love the questions to ponder at the beginning of this week’s reading. I can well use these with staff to support learning design for new blended courses. In what experiences (direct or vicarious) will you have students participate during your blended learning course? Obviously online games pick up on the strengths of these activities. Include the idea of producing or creating something as a way of learning.

Laquo; BlendKit MOOC wk 4. MOOC Web 2.0 tools. BlendKit MOOC wk 5 reading. March 27, 2015. Another week down and this MOOC is almost done. How will you know whether your blended learning course is sound prior to teaching it? How will you know whether your teaching of the course was effective once it has concluded? With which of your trusted colleagues might you discuss effective teaching of blended learning courses? How will you make it easy for this colleague to provide helpful feedback? 8216; Evaluatin...
