Edu-610: Week 6

NOTE:  An "SME" - Subject Matter Expert; eg, "an orinthologist".
          "SMA" - Subject Matter Area; the area of knowledge
                  that the SME is an expert in; eg, "birds".
          "K-domain" - Knowledge domain. Should be sufficient
                       to locate via googles.

     Thus "an orinthologist" is an SMA in "birds" (K-domain: aves).

NOTE: For proper spelling refer to the Dewey Decimal System;
      specifically "Melvin Dewey".  - that is all (well, for now ;)

The *oddest* thing about properly quoting stuff, and
etc - is how it WORSHIPS originality. And yet when
artists are different - they are eschewed for not
being "acceptable" - ie, like everything else that's
being done.

Oooh, ahhh it's the renaissance!! Or in more modern
times, oooh, ahhh, it's impressionism!!!

What a crock.

- frank (still miffed at the aburdity of it all
         and how it will determin OTHER people's
         lives, careers, and saddly enough what
         the teachers will do when they are 
         spit out on to the pavement of anti-derivative
         sentiment that pervades the matrix of our
         bird cage.

       38-41 of Teaching and Learning 
       with Technology: there is a 
       timeline of the evolution of 
       educational technologies.  

       This week’s journal article readings also 
       provide insights about the learners of tomorrow.  
       Based on the readings this week, think ahead and 
       predict where you think technology and human 
       interaction with technology will go in the 
       next 20 years. What technologies will we be 
       using in 2025 and how might that impact us 
       as a society. 

       (You can take any angle on this: think as 
        a “futurist,” an educator, or a user of 
        technology.)  

       Respond to at least two of your fellow 
       students’ postings.  Full credit will 
       not be given for posts that do not 
       reference course readings.

       Assessment and the Avoiding Plagiarism
