Three edits of listen again, Clive Chilvers on Wild Show

Clive Chilvers was a guest on the Wild Show this Thursday. He works on photography and on social media for TEDx Exeter. We spoke also about technology in Exeter schools.

There are three versions for listen again.

A full copy on Spreaker, almost two hours. This includes the music, several dance tracks Clive suggested.

A version on Soundcloud with just the conversation, almost an hour.

An edit with the section about technology in schools - starting with the talks on coding and balance of approach to the Web. The issues can continue as a sort of interview for other comments.

Clive is ready to return at some point. Possibly after September when the schools in Exeter start the new Computer Science courses and the Fab Lab is operating in the Central Library.

MOOCS OK, so what to do with them? #Wild Show #TEDxExeter #nlc2014

This is a tighter version of the post earlier today. Maybe tomorrow i will edit some of the sound clips from the We Don't Know radio show from 12 to 2 today when we talked a bit about what to say on the Wild Show this Thursday from 10 - 12. Phonic FM 106.8 in Exeter area.

We have got a bit further with the tech aspects of radio and loo forward to the FabLab in Exeter Central Library. Probably it will help us to connect FM and social media.

So I thnk time is passing for a take on web technology as if education theorists can assess whether to support it or not. Too much is happening anyway. In Exeter schools we hope to get an idea of what is happening once the new year starts in September. Meanwhile there is still a critique of the MOOC an very limited support in the UK. I find the Guardian is still not reporting the MOOC much and the mentions that do turn up are often part of negative comment.

The Wild Show is mostly music so there is limited time but over two hours we may touch on some of the issues. We will find the range of views from many a TED as well as the videos now available from the recent one in Exeter. Guest Clive Chilvers worksd on social media for TEDx Exeter and may suggest connections for questions over the next few months.

I have added a tag for the Networked Learning Conference. There is a connected discussion around a critique of the MOOC. Any comment welcome, especially mp3 files or links to such.

Draft questions re TEDx Exeter - Balance on Web Education

This week Clive Chilvers will visit the Wild Show again. There is an archive of an interview last year on Soundcloud. 

The Wild Show is on Thursday 10 -12 but maybe we can start asking questions through this blog. There were two talks at TEDx Exeter about schools and education that I found interesting. See previous post about Simon Peyton Jones and coding. I had thought there was too much emphasis on coding rather than digital literacy. But last week we were visited by Tom Dixon from the new Fab Lab in Exeter Central Library. He thought code is very important and part of applied technology. So maybe this is less of a concern.

But the other talk is still worth a look I think. 

This seems to me to be balanced towards danger so much that nothing then happens. There are some positives towards the end but regret that many students prefer to use commercial sites. i wonder when there will be more resource and energy for MOOCs etc from official UK education? there has been enough study on the dangers over the last decade or so.

By contrast, TED global, or however you think of it, has been more radical. Look at this from Sir Ken Robinson . This suggests much more rapid change.

Clive Chilvers works on social media for TEDx Exeter. He can't be asked to comment on all the issues raised. Buit we may get some guidance on who to ask for future conversations on how schools and students near Exeter relate to these issues.

Creative Commons and Edit Technology ( extends PDCA)

This week has been busy and I am not finding out enough about two MOOCs as to how they are structured, where you put your own txt. So this is here in this blog and I will repeat/link later when I get a better grasp.

Recently I found that some slides I did for the Experimentality conference on Plan - Do -Check/Study - Act have got recent interest on Slideshare. Not sure why this is but I can use this as a base. Mostly graphics borrowed from various sources.

Plan do check_study_act from Will Pollard

I have done a version showing Creative Commons ideas as part of the phase between check and act. Also training in technology for editing before doing a plan. In the Dreambazaar for Learning Design I still have various forms of sharing content, an approach to publishing. i realise there has to be income from somewhere so the theory also relates to content marketing, native advertising or whatever term is current ( how likely these are another time) 

The MOOC about psychology and the Commons will probably relate as I find out more about it. Deming moved from what he called the Shewart Cycle to a System of Profound Knowledge including psychology. That's the area I hope to study. How wide a community can people imagine as they swap content or protect it?

The deadlines I cannot avoid are on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, Phonic FM in Exeter. Some of these topics crop up as talk, the station is mostly music.

note for MOOCs on learning design, this is just radio

This post is intended as a bit of explanation as to where I am stuck at the moment. I still sign up for courses on learning design but my practice is mostly with radio shows that concentrate on music. I may well come back to something more formal but I find that sound is quick to work with and there is a relaxed attitude to copyright or appears to be. Actually Phonic FM pay Performing Rights fees but it still has the consequence we can mix in whatever we can find within some restrictions on language.

I have done a design for learning about Creative Commons and online editing on YouTube, assuming the Remix button is available. But not yet offered as a course. we did have a related discussion on the wild Show last week, now loaded to YouTube.

It starts with TEDx Exeter but is mostly about Creative Commons and will develop into how we can mix TED content with local schools in Exeter. There is not much tech as such. JD ihas closed down Windows XP and now explores his Hudl. We can't find the option for Creative commons in the Android app for YouTube.  But my plan is to keep asking what he makes of Creative Commons and how wide a community he thinks he is in. We are beginning to swap more bits of sound with other sources.

Any related mp3 we could use on air would be very welcome.
