Convo at the start of our ALS

Hey guys

I was thinking about this methodology thing

yo!

I understand the task as follows:

We research the 5 theorires

yo

each of us develops one theory (we will have to develp humanism aswell)

yep

yep – this was confirmed on friday

then each of us benefits from the group research to develop activities related to our own subject specialism

cool

keep going ralph i am on the edge of my chai

I am almost done with cognitivims

yeah thats right. I have had no time to do anything but we are on the right tracks. We have a second convo where scott has told us our methadology which we can present tomorrow on the flipchart paper 🙂

i haven’t done anything form behaviourism. Just finishig on my marking, then have to start my lesson plan for tuesday! nightmare of a weekend!!!!!

cool where is that methodoly?

Hey guys, I’m really sorry but I won’t be able to make it in tomorrow. Bruce will need to know that we have researched mindsets, and I have defined action learning sets and included it on wordpress. He will also ask what technologies we are using. Chris has designated wiki for our rough ideas and objectives, wordpress for our main blog, shelfari for our references and possibly shutterfly or mixbook for our presentation.Scott

there 🙂

cool

so you are not coming tomorrow Lousie?

i have used pinterest…for andragogy pedagogy do I have to make it subect specialist ie Catering ??

I am not called Lousie… that is a small creature that lived in ships biscuits

Ralph – the above is the message from scott from earlier. it is scott that wont be in tomorrow.

I copy and pasted that from Scott

cool, I have uploaded a few theoretical links between cognitivism, behaviorism and constructivism

Yes I think you do lou … a question for bruce tomorrow 🙂

toilet 🙂

we can sort this out tomorrow… Chris can you or ralph present while I get up to speed as I was not there friday

Yeap, we can present tomorrow

I think wesort of have it sussed,, a lot of this is about how we interact and communicate to get this done

Chris can you blogg this convo please for Scott and then explain how you have done it tomorrow,,, going now as need sleep after the carnage here last night see you tomorrow x x

love that. will do – speak tomorrow. chow

Still Collaborating days before hand in

Chris Wallbank

Hey guys. Just looking at the wiki and making sure it all works but I couldn’t open some of your things. Hope you all had a Christmas and new year. Congratulations on the baby Scott 🙂

Louise Slee – Using your menu tab for andragogy & pedagogy I can view all of your pintrest and youtube videos. I CANNOT sign into your prezi’s with the information you have provided.

Scott Macdonald – You need to provide logging in information in your menu tab. Ralph also used sliderocket but I can open his without needing to log it. His hyperlink says shareslide?? 

Ralph Clarke de Elliot – I have created you a cognitivism tab in the right hand menu and pasted your link into it so that Bruce can clearly navigate to our individual presentations. I can open yours.

Can somebody check that mine opens please? 😀

Chris

Summary of Friday 30th November

Our ALS met in the Learning Centre at 10.30 to collaborate what we had all gathered so far. We took the group decision to split our presentation into four 15 minute ‘mini-presentations’, one for each member of the ALS. We then questioned what structure our mini presentations should include, and agreed that we would roughly spend 5 mins on:

• Critical analysis of our designated learning theory, to include academic evidence, references and theoretical debate
• How we embed our respective theories, as well as the ICE principles into our subject specialisms (to also include evidence of emerging technologies)
• How we embed employability into our subject specialisms, with critical analysis.

After we agreed the structure of our presentations, we agreed that on Friday 7th November, we would each deliver our mini-presentation to the rest of our ALS, so that we can form an effective conclusion to our group presentation. These objectives have been added to our wiki space ‘objectives’ page.

Hello Guys

Action Learning Set Definition

‘I am part of the problem and the problem is part of me’ Reg Revans

Action Learning Sets (ALS) allow individuals to work collaboratively with others. They can all be working towards the same goal, or slightly different goals, but they work best the more collective the targets are. ALS rely on the sum being more effective than the part, and utilize the different thinking/working strategies of the group members.

Members develop many skills when working in ALS. These can be seemingly simple, such as the ability to listen effectively and without judgement, or more refined such as the ability to critical analyse contributions and opinions.

Communication and organisation are qualities highly suited to ALS, and some ‘ground rules’ that can be laid are:

• Divide time equally amongst group members
• Delegate roles and responsibilities in a fair manner
• The group constantly asks questions to gauge their understanding and achievement towards the task
• Keep effective records in target and review form

Present: Chris Wallbank + Ralph Clarke (Scott doing work over email)

Today we are finishing off our wiki.space new emerging technologies page. We have decided to assign different technologies for different purposes:

WordPress – Group Blog.

Wiki – Collaboraing ideas.

Shelfari – Referencing.

Shutterfly – Possible presentation method.

Set our objectives for monday which include things in Bruces email and more playing with N.E.T
