Tweets, and MOOCs, Oh My!

Tweet-night Wednesday night had a few surprises trying to track tweets, but eventually it came together. When not actively consumed with assignment I spend downtime thinking about the MOOC environment. I excitedly share my experience with my children but they are doubtful about having enough initiative and self-discipline to succeed. #cmc11

Listening to the week 10 blackboard collaborate recording, I have to give credit to the youth who have the motivation to participate in a MOOC. I have read blogs and personally know students who do not have the motivation to successfully complete just an online course with a syllabus, forget consideration of the open style, free-form MOOC. Storytelling would be an interesting challenge just for experimentation or to get a foothold for something more permanent. #cmc11

Immersive activity week 8

Week 8 immersive activity was interesting. I was previously aware of the presence of these bias in myself and others. However, I was unaware these bias had syndrome-like names. I already have a heightened sense of my weaknesses, but the bias list added a new dimension to these characteristics.
Zero-risk bias for example can be a desirable trait, or undesirable, depending on the circumstances.
