It took some digging to actually find information about myself on the internet. I typed in Heather Strong, Heather A. Strong, and then Dr. Heather Strong and it was only when I included the “Dr” with my name that I actually found some links to information about me. Above I have included three snap shots […]
I believe there are some broken links in the UMW DTLT site. I could not find, much less watch, any of the videos mentioned in the Narrating U activity page. I tried clicking on the links provided in the activity as well as using the search menu on the UMW DTLT site. So, given that I … Continue reading Narrating U
This activity was very interesting. I was shocked to find out that after visiting only 16 websites that I was connected with 76 different third party sites (see my featured image for this post). I was only mildly aware that my information was being “followed” on the web. I did not expect this much information […]
I have done lots of annotating in the past, but almost all of it with pen/pencil and on paper. I have used the note taking function within pdf documents as well as within my Kindle books, but they are not well developed in comparison to Hypothes.is. Learning how to use Hypothes.is is going to take … Continue reading Hypothes.is
Creating the annotations was an interesting exercise. I can see how this can fundamentally change class interaction in the digital classroom. The feedback is simple and immediate to a note, thought or descriptive process. I am not as prolific in my posting or in my observations as some, tending toward the punctuated thought, over the …
I remembered to “tag” two annotations which I posted to the Hypothes.is website, but to make sure you see them, I’ll repeat them below, as well as my initial observations on them. It’s interesting to compare the 2011 and 2015 statements. Both include “Online teaching should not be downgraded into ‘facilitation’,” but only the 2015 […]
Hello Fellow Learners, Teaching and advising at MA Lead has been an engaging avocation for me since 2002 when I retired from my last position in educational leadership–Superintendent at Mount Vernon Christian School in Washington State. My career in education spans the years 1962 to 2002 (with a couple of “breaks” for grad studies and […]
Colin didn’t ask us to reflect on this activity, but I wanted to share some of my own experiences with you regarding feedly. For those of you who have not taught an online course using word press, let me emphasize how important it is to have feedly.com set up for you as an instructor. In […]
I created my word press site back in December and have not adjusted much since that time. I will do my best to describe the choices that I made and why I made them here in this post. Word press was a new platform for me when I created my site back in December. I […]
At first it took me a little while to figure out how to launch the program (I didn’t see the little box on my browser bar at first). After I figured that out, then I was able to see the other annotations and provide my own thoughts. I can see how this tool would be […]
