Good evening again,
Trying to piece by piece work through the orientation and hoping that at the pace that I am going I will get through it all by May 2nd.
Signed up for hypothes.is tonight and was able to use the program successfully to add my own annotations as directed.
I am pleased with my accomplishments so far today, but… cautiously optimistic. I had no idea that programs like hypothes.is even existed. I was able to navigate, but it will definitely take some practice to be able to use AND still learn from the content. And there is still a lot of the orientation page to work through.
On a completely different note, there was a lot to think about in the 2016 Manifesto for Teaching Online, and I recognized that my brain will need to return to what I will describe as “a more academic way of thinking”. In the role that I am currently in much of the day to day comes down to task-orientated, clinical and/or administrative problem solving. I anticipate that this change will be helpful – that is, if the neuroplasticity is still there at nearly half a century old!
Welcome!
I’ve got your site connected to the course hub now and your first two posts are showing up there!
It’s ok if there is some overlap between this orientation course and LDRS500. The last couple of weeks of this course are about creating and editing digital media and you won’t need that until later in 500.
Looking forward to learning with you!
Colin
