Week 1 Roundup: #CCK11
Katejf, Ramblings from yet another Librarian
Ok so it is a little past the end of week 1, but here is my take on what I got from week 1 of the #CCK11 course. I got confusion, a glimmer of understanding and a desire to know more. – not bad for one week. So what did I learn:  At the end [...] [Link] 2011-01-26T11:30:13 [Comment]

CCK11 - week 2: This brings back memories!
AK, Multilitteratus Incognitus
This week's readings bring back memories; memories of computer science (creating algorithms in C to traverse a network) and memories of my MBA (organizational development).  Fun stuff!Krebs' reading was short, but quite interesting nevertheless.  What stood out for me was thisCommon wisdom in personal networks is "the more connections, the better." This is not always so. What really matters is where those connections lead to -- and how they connect the otherwise unconnected!.... [Link] 2011-01-26T10:30:00 [Comment]

My Network Analyses, CCK11
steveediger, On the Learning Curve
With this great LinkedIn Tool, via Stephen, I mapped my rather meager Linkedin network and was a bit amazed at the results.  I seem to be the boundary spanner between two international schools, technology in India and the USA and various thinkers.  Now how can I leverage this in the course to get an A?

Dynamizing my Learning Experience - #CCK11
hamtra@gmail.com (Tracy Parish), Discovery Through eLearning
How much do you love the word DYNAMIZE?  When I saw/heard Stephen Downes use it in his talk on "Learning Networks: Theory & Practice" from 2005, he says "Dynamize...I know dynamize is not a word, but there wasn't a good word.  A networks is something that is fluid, it is something that is dynamic, it is something that changes constantly.  Connections are grown, connections are shaped, connection are changed." I thought well if it wasn't a word it was a .... [Link] 2011-01-26T01:19:00 [Comment]

W2: More - Network Diagram Examples (#CCK11)
hamtra@gmail.com (Tracy Parish), Discovery Through eLearning
When I thought of looking for a network diagram, I'm not sure why, but looking for one on how bees interact came to mind. Maybe it is because the network of communication that goes on within any particular hive has got to be astounding.  So on my hunt for such a diagram, here are just a few that struck me as intriguing (perhaps by content, perhaps by visual appearance...I won't tell). Here's an interesting site with a Gallery of Network Images.  I'm not .... [Link] 2011-01-25T22:49:00 [Comment]

Thoughts on Losing Waldo? - #CCK11
hamtra@gmail.com (Tracy Parish), Discovery Through eLearning
I was explaining to someone today about the idea that was raise in our online conversation last week, that knowledge is something that can't be unlearned.  As Stephen Downes explained, it's similar to looking at a "Where's Waldo" picture.  Once you know where he is, you always see him.  You can point to him in an instant and will be able to do so into the future. This person at work looked at me, said "hmmmm, I'll need to think about that, I'm .... [Link] 2011-01-25T22:05:00 [Comment]

CCK11: Networking
leahgrrl, Connexions
To my deep embarrassment and chagrin, I do not have enough connections for LinkedIn to create a cool network diagram for me (see http://teachinginhighered.com/visualize-your-network-connections-cck11-0), so I cannot provide an InMap to talk about. I have 37 connections on LinkedIn, and apparently I need 50 to create the diagram. This is sort of alarming to me, [...] [Link] 2011-01-25T19:22:59 [Comment]

Bonni Stachowiak, Teaching in Higher Education, January 25, 2011. Yesterday I asked #CCK11 participants to submit their examples of network diagrams. As examples, I posted a few recent network diagrams I've covered here in OLDaily. Bonni Stachowiak commented on the post, telling me about this service that creates a diagram of my LinkedIn connections (For some reason Google deleted this comment.

This week's task in #CCK11 is to find examples of network diagrams (etc.).  So I began using Qwiki to see what I could find.  Here are a few (not great, but I wanted to give it a try): Social Network ....
