I found this article interesting because it followed the same path that we took to establish our NING community and also suggets use of the same technologies. We started with the shared domain of interest as suggested by the authors, we use social bookmarking and we use NING as a place to share and collaborate. [...]

…right here. Happy reading

Here’s another one of those “Sarah’s trying to get her head around something” posts…I know that I’d like to use a theory out of the  Saunders (2008) chapter as it’s the reading I’ve found the most relevant to my community and the most interesting I’ve read this semester. I thought I would go through some [...]

This post is based around the paper by Weller et. al (2005) – Use of innovative technologies on an e-learning course. As an extension of the post I made yesterday, Weller et al. (2005) talk about blogging in their discussion of some of the new technologies being utilised in e-learning and he mentions group blogs, [...]

I’m going off the conversation that was started over at NING about blogging and its relevance to e-learning (and the subject I suppose) for this post. I decided to do a bit of googling around to see if other bloggers had mentioned anything about it. Tony Karrer (who granted is really cynical, but amusingly so) [...]

Huh. I think I’m having an instance of being amazed by the power of community/technology. I remember a week ago I was feeling rather stressed about the group assignment, as I always do when anything group-related comes up. I think it stems from high school and spending many all nighters being the only member in [...]

For the group assignment (possibly getting ahead of myself here, I really should start assignment 1.2…) I’m interested in looking at social networking, especially twitter with regard to how it can be used to supplement lectures in a university setting. Anne put me on to seesmic, a twitter client. I hadn’t tried any twitter clients [...]

So the threads I posted the other day about collaborating on drum charts have worked out well! I’m pretty hopeless at transcribing drum music into tab, but I can convert tab into chart. One of the community members has offered to tab some of the songs I’m interested in getting and I’m going to chart [...]

I dno’t know if I’ve written about it previously but I am a rather avid drummer at the moment and I’m constantly on the lookout for new charts. Especially Tegan and Sara charts, as they are my favourite band after all. Unfortunately transcibed charts for anyone are pretty much impossible to find unless you’re a [...]

Wow, the last week and a bit has been insane. I didn’t intend to go so long without blogging but I had one of those ‘life gets on top of you’ weeks. I’ve still been following my community so I’ll write a bit about that later today. And I’ve done my readings, I just need [...]
