I’m looking forward to teaching class next week. It’s a great feeling knowing that I can program the entire class. We’re going to start with a chance operation about meaning construction to situate construction of meaning in the reading body. For once I have enough time to take this through the entire process:
clipping text and images
random selection of text and images
juxtaposition of text and images
meaning construction of text and images
sharing interpretations of text and images
looking at digital environments from a perspective of meaning construction
what has meaning
what are we reading
constructing our own meaningful digital environment
image editing
text / font decisions
juxtaposition
location
identity
by the end of the class each student should have a rich media webpage
no, we will not attempt to upload in this class
it will be enough to use NVu to teach the class
I need to do some work in NVu, just to make sure I can do it myself
I think its going to be okay

Andy’s presentation
I appreciated Andy’s introduction to using technology in education by talking about the meaning of the term, all that it represents.
Using technology in the presentation
I thought it was funny that my laptop, which has been extremely reliable, was somehow in a wireless black hole, sitting where it was in the room. I could not get online. Meanwhile, Jennifer is merrily going ahead and distributing laptop computers to students and they are all going online. It was a perfect example (of which there are many) of the affordances – being able to look up mulitple definitions online as a class – and the constraints – not being able to go online myself for the presentation. Luckily I had all my files on my computer, so I was able to function. It always pays to prepare a backup system.

Hello Everyone,
Here is an outline, links and an article pertinent to my part of the presentation this afternoon. I know it’s a lot, I’m hoping people can think about their keyword / short phrase before we gather. Also, if people can bring definitions of phenomenology, that might move things along a little faster. We’ll see how far we get.
It will also speed things up if people can get their laptops plugged in, turned on and connected to the wireless network before Andy starts his session.
My section of the presentation will be divided into 4 short topics:
1. teaching philosophy keywords or phrases
I’m bringing colored pens and paper. I’m going to ask each person to write down a keyword or short phrase about their teaching philosophy and decorate it as they wish.
2. meaning construction: phenomenology
using the laptop computers, 1/2 class look up definition – phenomena, 1/2 class look up ology
put definitions together
think about phenomenology and technology use in education, including online environments
3. using complexity thinking to theorize technology use in education

4. thinking about online environments
