As I watched the interview with George Siemens, I couldn't help but think of potential applications within the my own learning environment. I'm not an educator at Peace River Bible Institute, but I'm involved enough to see some possibilities in the connectedness & interactive opportunities that are foundational to what I understand so far of MOOCs. Specifically one thing is the potential for easy interaction with those of another culture, helping us to examine our faith or beliefs beyond or moving past our own cultural blinders.
Anyway, that's my thought for tonight. Looking forward to learning with, from, and through the rest of you.
And somebody please tell me whether this font works at all, or totally kills the readability (I may know as soon as I post it too)
Ok, I could see right away that "Rock Salt" didn't work :) I'd still like something slightly informal, and different, so I'm trying "Schoolbell"
ReplyDeleteI like the font. It sort of flows informally and matches your writing style. Your "Looking forward to learning with, from, and through the rest of you" is inviting. I'll get my blog running...soon.
ReplyDeleteThis font is readable. Great attitude.
ReplyDeleteSo, once I stopped following your blog, then I was able to post a comment. Need to investigate later.
ReplyDelete@gjoyce, thanks for the feedback, drop me a note when you get your blog going
ReplyDelete@Dad, weird about not being able to post until yous stopped following it. That seems counter intuitive... And thanks!
I appreciate your comments and will enjoy connecting with you during this MOOC. I don't have a blog of my own. Perhaps this experience will convince me of the value. I'm a Baptist minister, not currently serving in a church. I have worked in cross-cultural theological education, as recently as last June. So I'm also interested in the potential for this environment and MOOCs specifically for learning in the church and connections beyond.
ReplyDeleteHi Alan, thanks for the comment, hope to connect with you throughout this course, conference thingy.
