7. Rather than thinking of
public education as a
burden that schools must
shoulder on their own, what
would it mean to think of
public education as a
responsibility of a more
distributed network of
people and institutions...
8. ....what would it mean to enlist help in
this endeavour from an engaged and
diverse set of publics that are broader
than what we traditionally think of as
educational and civic institutions? In
addition to publics that are dominated by
adult interests, these publics should
include those that are relevant and
accessible to kids now, where they can
find role models, recognition, friends, and
collaborators who are co participants in
the journey of growing up in a digital age.

MASSIVE OPEN ONLINE
COURSE

15. MY PERCEPTIONS OF A
MOOC
As I listened and participated in Alec's
session - I wondered how come I had
never experienced this kind of
"online" learning before? How could I
apply it to k-12 audience? Is there a
k-12 MOOC? What does it look like?
Would others want to help me create
a MOOC for k-12?

32. ASSESSMENT
Assessment:
Created by: Jeremy Macdonald @MrMacnology
I chose a "Badge" System of Assessment
34. WHAT I HAVE
LEARNED…..EARNING....#1
• I can create an environment where all
participants felt "included“in some way
• We all like to be the examples
35. VERENA'S LEARNING #2
Participants can be beginners to advanced - I could to scaffold
options for new learners while challenging my advanced
learners. Open Learning naturally offer personalized learning
options
Participant mentors were asked to volunteer to MODEL, to write
comments anytime they saw something unanswered, to help
me moderate Blackboard sessions, Twitter, Netvibes,
Google.docs and various other tools. I encouraged others to
lead in order to help make the course sustainable for me.
36. VEVERENA’S LEARNING
#3LEARNING #3
Student questions and teacher feedback seemed
"amplified" in an open online forum
I learned to accept that failure was possible, learn
from my mistakes and do my best.
Being authentic got me through and accepting that I
am a learner too!
37. WHAT DO YOU FINISH WITH?WHAT
WILL YOU END WITH?
Collection of Learning Artifacts
• You will have a collection of resources based on a collaborative effort
• You will have developed leadership skills among your peers and ensured that
everyone is identified by their strengths
• You will have created the foundations for autonomous learning for all participants
which will offer them the opportunities outside of the school and/or district
38. HOW OPEN ONLINE LEARNING
"COULD” BE USED IN K-12
An online Module or Course (Students, Teachers, Admin,
Districts, Gov't)
• Using an open or closed wiki, you could use the MOOC
model to create an online course or module of your own
based on this PPT presentation
39. AS A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
OPTION
Open Courses can be offered on any topic and can be a "course" or way to
connect and learn.
Pick one topic - then pick various subtopics for your "experts" to focus on.
You don't have to ask others to be "experts" you could be the lead facilitator
the whole way through....However, asking others to "lead" a week based
on their "strength" is a great way to connect and network.
You can choose to keep the course within a school, district or consider
opening your "course" to others.
