Hello all,
First I would like to thank Development team for the time at meeting today to
bring this upwith the hope of landing these features if doable in 0.98.
I have chosen to do a
Service Learning Project around Sugar for my Masters
Learning Design
Tech program at Purdue University.
Let me preface
by saying I have read the feature policy which I see flowing from
technical to learning. I am coming at this from the opposite
direction learning to technical because my lack of technical
expertise. I am looking to collaborate
with entire
Dev team to push through these constructivist learning principles
if
they are technically feasible? I am coming to you at this point to
start the
thinking and see if either of these paths can and should be
followed.
When you get the chance would you
please take a look at my user page which includesService Learning Plan
Write-up:http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Jt4sugar
This is built off some of my previous
work along with Fall 2011 semester work
with Dr. Dana Driscoll and her Literacy, Technology, and Civic
Engagement
class at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan.
They did an entire class semester
project around Sugar-Literacy and Writing process effortsPhase 1: User:Owl Jr.
Project/semesterproject1Phase 2:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Owl_Jr._Project
From all this work we have distilled
two features we think our apt to enhance the Sugar Learning Platform in
powerful ways for learners and teachers alike, which adhere and support
constructivist principles, and build on the reflection feature “Write
to the Journal Anytime”.
I wanted you to look at these pages first to understand the context before
starting separate threads for
Inquiry Learning Global Chat and Discovery Mode.
Dr. Dana Driscoll has also agreed to meet with the Development team if they
wanted to have
an IRC discussion around her class project, the benefits of building in
features for Reflection,
Inquiry Learning, and the idea of Discovery Mode along with the constructivist
and pedagogical
value they can bring. Please let
me know if this is something you would like me to
facilitate. Dr.
Driscoll,Graduated from Purdue with her Doctorate in
Rhetoric and Composition and
was a major contributor/worker on the Purdue OWL: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/
When starting those threads would these be correct for the subject
line:[Feature] Inquiry Learning Global Chat[Feature] Discovery Mode
Would like to set up a couple of
brainstorm sessions one for each feature around
the possibilities but don't want to tie up
Dev Mtg time that centers around 0.96.
Can meet another time on #sugar-meeting or #sugar.
Please suggest what works best for you
all.
Appreciate the Interest!John Tierney
I have set up the shell pages for:
Inquiry Learning Global
Chat-http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Inquiry_learning_global_chat
Peer and Teacher questioning across
activities with capture log
Discovery
Mode-http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Discovery_mode
Creating a mode allowing
teacher/guides/facilitator to learn about Sugar inside
Sugar activities through palettes that
open and contain description and use cases for icon/process
I will definitely need collaborative
help with the hope of having the Dev team “adopt” these features and
takingownership or working on some type of co-ownership basis since there will
be the need to help fill out feature page from
the technical perspective.
