Skype+Meeting+Minutes

=Skype Meeting Minutes=


 * Explore the above learning outcome through the context of mlearning in the news concept, take a recent current event, marry it with a good quality reading, and provoke thought with some depth of questioning (exploring and relating to teaching and learning). OrewaCollegewould work beautifully as an example of this approach, Copyright Infringing Law another, Londonriots a 3rd (Nick to reword this)


 * Explore the links between the versatility of mobile devices and student learning LO


 * Local and Global contextualised to NZ


 * Differing platforms, applications, interfaces, devices, carrier technologies e.g. wireless/3G4G - glossary/activity maybe point them in the direction of the information


 * QR Code activity – book case study


 * 2 readings


 * Maybe look at engaging activities that create meaning for the students ie a scenario based seminar that gives them a reason to engage to create their own authentic learning ie. 'The institute you work at has decided that each student is to have an ipad as a compulsory piece of equipment, and you are the only teacher who has any knowledge or interest in mobility teaching' etc - then structure the activities around what they can do to learn to deal with a particular scenario? OR the school has earthquake damage and you are relocated to a church camp near the seaside - how could you ensure your students learning is not affected....hmmmm Get the students in the seminar to create their own resources e.g. videos and audios and post these online - share data through their mobile phones, make a phone tree...set them a challenge of going to the remotest place to send a message to our seminar....get them to create a resource they could use in their own teaching....Get them to write a story....Give them strict guidelines about timeframes, feedback, maybe put them into groups for some of the exercises - or pair them up so they can communicate with each other - people love engaging if it has meaning for them personally and they love learning if they already know what they are going to be doing and why.


 * First week – readings then scaffold up to second week activity mini project


 * Share roles until we pair off -GaelynQC Nick Creator -


 * Research latest and greatest readings/podcasts/videos/newspapers


 * Weebly as website


 * Stream discussion but perhaps something a bit speedier than Stream


 * Activity designer is activity facilitator


 * Sort all resources by next Monday at 7.30

 * __ ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS __**
 * Contact Details: **

Firstly I would like to address Maggies questions in our Skype meeting - Team Leader – deadlines meetings on track chasing up people Sue happy to do this job Quality Control – no errors – academic rigour Content specialist – someone who understands and checks content – relevant: check references: Course Design: willing to look at pedagogy/objectives etc What are your expectations in terms of involvement - time and energy (both personally and as a group)? Sue and I had a chat and the following ideas evolved: - At the moment lets meet and keep in touch for a minimum of once a week – 5pm Sunday suits Sue and Gaelyn, Nick to confirm. Gaelyn can’t meet later in the evening on Sunday, but can meet on a Monday. - Other contact ideas: Sue is to set up a blog through wikispaces that we can communicate through. We are both happy to skype and we have exchanged email addresses – see above – Nick to add his details. Next meeting: 5pm Sunday 21st Things to bring to the meeting: - Ideas on different angles to take on the topic and ideas on how we can present and conduct the seminar. - Ideas about course objectives, course structure and content: and ideas for course design - Gloss over Maggies readings before then so we have some idea what she intended our learning outcomes to be - Gaelyn to do a brief stakeholder research of the other students…. Then from there I would imagine we should look at technology and methodology so here are some suggestions for us to chat about - some might be over the top some suitable - just some thoughts. Wouldnt want too many different types of tech tho that the students had to learn how to navigate before engaging in the actual seminar work.
 * 1)  What will be the roles and responsibilities of each person in the group (both in terms of preparation and during the seminar itself)? What are our roles? Discussion – some ideas:
 * 1) Will someone take a leading role or will this be shared? Best if someone organises the group
 * 2) How will you keep in touch during the planning, development and presentation phases? – skype, email
 * 3) Consider developing a timeline with specific deadlines for each phase that everyone agrees to.
 * 4) Consider including time for synchronous online meetings so you can discuss your ideas and any issues that arise (there is a synchronous text chat facility in Stream but it's quite limited. You may want to use Skype or I can arrange to setup a online room in Adobe Connect if you prefer).
 * 5) Think through and plan how you will deal with group members who are not active (if this occurs) and get everyone to agree to the planned course of action.
 * 6) Also consider how you can minimise the impact of a unresponsive group member.
 * 7) How will you manage any disagreements that may arise?
 * 8) Consider what role you want me to play during this time.

 * __ TECHNOLOGY PLATFORMS FOR OUR INTERGROUP DESIGN WORK/COMMUNICATION/COLLABORATION __**

Do we use one or more of these ….......
 * __ TECHNOLOGY PLATFORMS FOR ACTUAL SEMINAR __**
 * Website tools **[] (this is the seminar our group created for Maggie’s Foundation course seminar last year) [|weebly.com] or do we not create a website and just use stream? or do we use stream but have links to external tools /sites?or do we use Google sites - I find Google very slow when you are creating it but works well in access - I use it with my current group of students.


 * Idea creating tools ** Timelines [] Wordle [] Create debate [] Answer garden []


 * Survey Tools **[]


 * Synchronous meeting room ** Adobe - [] I used this last year to conduct a synch presentation and discussion - worked really well.

How multisensory do we want their experience? Do we want to include some podcasts or videos or do we just want readings? How many discussion forums do we want running? How will the students feel about the tech we choose? Gaelyn to do a stakeholder research thingy How much time will it take the students?
 * __ STUDENT EXPERIENCE __**

Maggie questions.... What process do you see unfolding? - What structure will guide the process? What do you expect participants to do? How will you engage participants in the asynchronous discussion that follows your presentation? What aspects of mobile learning will we look at? Will we look at technology as one section? Will we look at pedagogical implications as another section? Will we look at positive/negative impacts as another section? Will we each take one section and develop an activity using technology agreed to by the group?
