In my effort to be helpful, I told you I would read Melissa Chavira’s dissertation. So, here is my highlighting from Chapter 1. I made the exercise more interesting by using an ipad app, Notability, to notate the chapter and save it to dropbox.
Chapter 1: Yes, we need to be respectful of the adult learner, a key principle of adult learning. We can do so by offering context, called “problem based learning” in some circles.
The app is very cool.
Since I have had a “hard time” wading into Melissa’s dissertation, any help such as you are working on, is appreciated. It is time for me to renew the book from Zuhl once again…they keep sending me letters because they miss me, so I have to go say hello. hahaha.
I’m trying to think of a symbolic interpretation of my wallet being every other page in this scan file. Maybe it’s for the riches within… except that would be only virtual in my case.
Notation is a good device for a number of different learning goals. A sort of first draft version of curating. And highlighting can be done in a number of different ways. For example, in creating media, there are various “forms” one can use that provide a “highlighting” feature or aspect, such as editing, or closeups etc.
In simplest terms, humans generally speak louder when they want to highlight speech…but could be a certain tone of voice, or gesture…or writing it on the blackboard, whiteboard, or putting it in a handout.
We do a lot of things to draw attention to certain information as part of our everyday human communication. To state the obvious. And as per online, we reference more information existent on the topic. “If you don’t believe me, ask your doctor, he’ll tell you that Fenugreek is a good herb for that”.
BTW, I’m getting more and more familiar with Knowles 6 principles of adult learning, and look forward to our future discussions and implementations of same.
I imagine certain of your highlighted quotes from this and other chapts will make their way into the part 2 prezi sections about SLC.
