This one lets me connect three very different voices together and reflect upon the nature of Connected Learning.

I couldn’t wait for tomorrow to get started on the first topic of Connected Learning, mostly because of a discussion with Ary Aranguiz, Angela Towndrow, and Laurie Niestrath around doing some Quadblogging/Quadvlogging.
So, here is the thought. Throughout the first topic timeline (Jan 20-Feb. 2), we make at least 4 different videos (one from each of us) for us to comment on (in blogs, vlogs, or in the comments on youtube) and react to. The four videos can be on the same topic, or simply reference each other. They can pull in content going on elsewhere in the course, but most of all, they should be reflections on our own practice or of what we would like to see in the future.
Clearly, other folks can (and should) join in the Quadvlog (and make it a heptavlog or something), but we are guaranteeing that at least these four videos will be made and that we will comment to one another once they are up. Does that sound like a plan?
I was having a rather wonderful conversation in the #etmooc community and Ary Aranguiz gave me the heads up that there were some great folks collaborating within the #edcmooc community as well. Oddly enough, That is how I came to invite you to yet another community.
Well, my hope is that it is a little different than the other communities you are a part of. In this one, I am trying to cultivate a culture of reflective practice through videos, video responses, and video comments. It is a project of mine in 2013 to do a daily practice vlog a day. I wonder if you might be interested in lurking or participating in that. Hop in wherever you like, but we generally have a few folks a week hop in and create a new video for us to comment on. I hope that all makes sense. Talk to you soon!
I was really excited to get started with the first week of content in #etmooc. My hope is that this video fits pretty nicely into the Pedagogy side of “Connected Learning — Tools, Processes & Pedagogy”
It may challenge you to think about which of the three learning paths you are taking in both your professional development environment and the environment for your learners. Or, if none of these resonate with you, that it encourages you to construct your own learning path to follow.

Although, Kevin Honeycutt is traveling today, I’m sure he would want me to post this really intriguing post on why we should share our creations widely and why we should nev stop making meaning for others.
My favorite conversation so far within the #etmooc community has been with Sheri Edwards around making meaning from the mooc. This video is my reaction to her comments, which she has since expanded upon (see the post she just popped in here). Anyway, I thought it might be useful to a wider audience.
I was quite engaged by Sheri Edwards comments on my previous vlog, so I thought I would extend it into a discussion of how we can “spin off” parts of the course conversation into passion projects. This isn’t the final word on how to create meaning in a MOOC, but it is what I would love to continue to discuss and collaborate on throughout the course.

Great discussion on top of that video that Sheri made (which does an even better job extending the idea): https://vialogues.com/vialogues/play/7216

I just caught your #etmooc intro and then I wandered into your other videos. I really like the way that you frame your experience and your ability to help others learn. I wonder if you might be interested in joining this community that I am curating.
We are posting reflective practice videos and then reacting to one another’s ideas. Let me know if you have any questions, otherwise feel free to lurk or participate. Talk to you soon.
Oh, and it is great to meet someone else from Colorado doing the #etmooc thing. Looking forward to learning from you.
