<p>TED lecture lesson plan Institution versus collaboration<br /><br />Introduction<br />I chose this because… teachers have the worst of both worlds…<br /><br />Instructions<br /><br />Before watching the video:<br /><br /><br />While watching the movie - jot down quotes that have a resonance for you<br /><br />Write down your observation and questions<br /><br />…………………………………..<br />RESOURCES – info, links etc.<br /><br />Models of organic versus hierarchical (trees in database blog)<br /><br />Quotes<br /><br />Points / how applicable to school setting<br /><br />What questions<br /><br />…………………….<br /><br />Observations:<br /><br />How was the ProD prepared - delivered?<br /><br />How is it institutional model ProD prepared - delivered?<br /><br /><br />Idea – one person<br />Prep – 3 hours<br />Cost – <br />Institutional support<br />………………………………………………………..<br /><br />Ways to collaborate <br /><br />The online/ digital environment - face-to-face<br />E- mail (advantages – time space)<br />Face-to-face (takes time, person etiquette, physical place and presence)<br /><br />………<br /><br />Incorporate ACCESS issues - too much info<br />…………..<br /><br />Creative Solutions<br /><br />What can be accomplished best online?<br /><br />What can be accomplished best in person?<br /><br />Teacher/educator collaboration<br />Model: teacher –teacher-librarian<br /><br />B Classroom (how much in person/ how much online)<br /><br />Suggestion:<br /><br />Internal learning: reading, writing, thinking<br /><br />External learning: communication best with physical presence – so much lots body language, irony, facial expression, pacing, timing – jumping in at right time – nuanced back and forth – not paragraph exchanges<br /><br />Opinion - In order to be a good online communicator, one must be a good writer – most people aren’t – also must be text-based brain (or use images)<br /><br />Special skill – communication on line –write guidelines – we are practiced in daily conversation – students learning English are more accomplished in conversation – their writing is awkward<br /><br />Result – special online language – text message shortcuts to express emotions – superficial and flawed (What does OMG really communicate?)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />.................................</p></div>
