Time-Bounded Learning Experiments

Collaborations don’t last forever. But, if you chronicle them as they are happening and if you talk about what you are learning, the conversations that are built upon them will never die. Just become The Fellowship of the Ning is going to stop making new videos, it doesn’t mean that their over 600 videos will somehow disappear. We should all be trying to create Learning Time Capsules out of our daily reflections so that we can continue the community even after we have moved on to other projects.

Whispering for Change

I love the way in which Sheri Edwards speaks about teaching and learning. Her poetry is wonderful and deserves to be thought through. The challenge that I took from her latest vlog is that she would like to whisper with fellow teachers and leaders in order to change education. I’m game, are you?

Are We Done #CoLearning Yet?

Our communities exist and grow based upon their use, but we should join and leave those communities at will. We should be a part of them rather than own them. We should allow things to go fallow and then pick them up again and get excited. Communities do not die so long as one person takes it upon themselves to carry the banner and continue on.

Who is in your Fellowship?

I came across the singe most amazing student collaboration I have ever seen. While that may sound like hyperbole, it isn’t. I love the fact that 7 "strangers" from around the world came together and for two years produced video blogs for one another about topics they loved. While they are stopping their collaboration at the end of February, I encourage you to check it out because there are hundreds of videos to explore.

Also, I am looking to start a fellowship of my own… so, let me know if you want in.
