Hello everyone! It is a pleasure to share my thoughts and ideas with all of you – or at least the ten folks required to follow my ramblings! My name is Lionel and I’m a Course Director here at Full Sail University. I teach an online course called Computer Science and the Internet and we’ve been in the process for about 4 months of totally overhauling the course curriculum into a new exciting direction.
With these changes in mind, as well as aspects of my AR on Group Accountability and Collaboration Using Cloud Computing tools – I have focused my Google Reader subscriptions on various sites and feeds that I have found of use or hope to use in the future. Being now a course more fixed on teaching our students the ropes of the Mac OS X, I check Apple sites regularly to keep up with changes and patches so my information in class is current and up to date. This, combined with gadget and game sites, allow me to have useful discourse with my students and ensure the lessons taught are of use. I have opted to follow:
- · Apple
- · Mac OS Rumors
- · Gizmodo
- · Kotaku
For the AR aspect, I have gathered together a collection of some top Cloud Computing sites as well as some with information and ideas on working within groups. I am hoping to be able to forge an enjoyable group experience into my course for my students and these sites should help make that happen! For this aspect of my subs I have chosen to follow:
- · Cloud computing CIO.com
- · Cloud computing services with VMware
- · Dealing with Students Who Hate Working in Groups! [I love this one…lol]
It promises to be an interesting month! Good luck to everyone.
Below is a quick snapshot of my Google Reader page and the subscriptions.
