Have been invited by Nellie Deutsch to take part in Connecting Online 2009 - I just love this kind of initiatives, so how could I refuse it? You know me… I have just posted on our Ning site a small reflection about what Connecting means to me. I am also sharing it here, in case [...]]]> http://eduspaces.net/cristinacost/weblog/417810.html http://eduspaces.net/cristinacost/weblog/417810.html Tue, 05 Aug 2008 13:35:54 GMT http://knowmansland.com/learningpath/?p=126

Leigh, this is a very hard question to answer…!!!!!
I thought this was going to be a easy, relaxing course…after all it’s summer time! Just kidding. Although this was my immediate inner-response.
Defining online communities is not as easy as it may seem. Despite all the theoretical background, how do you define, [...]]]> http://eduspaces.net/cristinacost/weblog/415078.html http://eduspaces.net/cristinacost/weblog/415078.html Fri, 01 Aug 2008 19:23:15 GMT http://knowmansland.com/learningpath/?p=125

Today Michael Coghlan shared this great video - a presentation by Michael Wesch on Youtube - An anthropological introduction to YouTube.
I just Loved it. As Micheal Coghlan said, it is bloody Brilliant. What an inspiring and true report about how media are changing the way we connect to people!



I especially like Wesch’s  idea that [...]]]> http://eduspaces.net/cristinacost/weblog/408138.html http://eduspaces.net/cristinacost/weblog/408138.html Thu, 24 Jul 2008 09:54:36 GMT http://knowmansland.com/learningpath/?p=124

This is indeed an assumption many tend  to make when they are introduced to it. Is it because at the first sight it doesn’t seem to comply with the traditional ways of teaching? Is it because learning technologists sometimes may sound like geeks - when getting involved with social media in a rather overwhelming way?

Two weeks ago, I was invited to take part in a Panel on Digital Literacy at UCLan. It was indeed interesting and thought provoking. As it often happens in this kind of events, so much was left to say. I especially liked the way the audience progressively got involved and we briefly touched some of [...]]]> http://eduspaces.net/cristinacost/weblog/390305.html http://eduspaces.net/cristinacost/weblog/390305.html Tue, 01 Jul 2008 20:17:01 GMT http://knowmansland.com/learningpath/?p=122

This is the second blog post on twitter within days. This must mean something.
I have been giving quite a lot of thought about this micro-phenomenon that is twitter. As I said before, I grew fonder and fonder of twitter over time until I totally fell in love with it. Just for you to have an [...]]]> http://eduspaces.net/cristinacost/weblog/386028.html http://eduspaces.net/cristinacost/weblog/386028.html Wed, 25 Jun 2008 21:03:58 GMT http://knowmansland.com/learningpath/?p=121

I haven’ got many words to say today, although my head is over-flooded with thoughts I want to share, but which somehow I don’t seem to be able to get across. I feel a little bit overwhelmed today!  I hate to have to admit it, but I am feeling a little adrift - not really [...]]]> http://eduspaces.net/cristinacost/weblog/378340.html http://eduspaces.net/cristinacost/weblog/378340.html Mon, 16 Jun 2008 08:49:39 GMT http://knowmansland.com/learningpath/?p=120

…Edumedia 2008?
I am been paying sporadic visits to the EduMedia 2008 Conference in Salzburg through twitter. And I think I can say I have been getting some interesting perspectives about education. And all of this thanks to twitter and those who are taking the time to twitter about it!
Thoughts, ideas, spontaneous reflection and immediate [...]]]>
