[WikiEducator] Award of UPE
Dear WikiEducator Friends I am very happy to note today that I have been selected for the UPE for December 2008. Do visit my page at [[User page:Gita_Mathur]]. I joined WikiEducator on October 2008 and I find this is a very strong medium for Education the world over. I attended a F2F worskhop on L4C in Delhi, October 3 to 5, 2008 organised by Savithri Singh and Anil Prasad and then an On Line L4C workshop from November 24 to December 5, 2008, eL4C15, conducted by Patricia Schlicht and Nellie Deutsch. I would like to thank all four of them for guiding and inspiring me. I also thank all my co- participanss at both the workshops who kept up a live interaction. I will continue an active involvement at WikiEducator and hope to add useful content. Best Wishes to all.

[WikiEducator] Re: WikiEducator goes non-violent?
Maria, I more or less share your definition (socialization is coercive), particularly glaring in Maths. Only realized they could be fun when I decided to unlearn and design my own learning environment to pass first year Statistics. Since then I taught Statistics and quan methods to fellow students, and they all passed by tearing down the unintelligible wall rather than any bright skills of mine. Years have passed by and still Stats are the daunting ogre and it's sad to see how many Sociology undergrads are attracted to qual in rejection to Stats SPSS+, thus re-enacting the false myth of quan- qual confrontation. Fairly common-sense, but shouldn't research goals, variables of study budget define most appropriate methods rather than any given assumption or preference? Keep up with such fascinating work!

If we include coercive in the definition of violent then forcing kids learn is an example of violent content. As a math educator, I see a lot of kiddie torture related to my subject. This is also a good example of how varied our definitions of violent behavior can be. I meet very few people who share that definition.

[WikiEducator] Re: WikiEducator goes non-violent?
Socialisation is coercive, therefore violent... Is this what you intended Gunther? And what part does Wikieducator, OER, COL, UN and UNESCO play in other forms of socialisation? - Cultural colonisation? - Legal imperialism? - Economic globalisation? - Political homogenisation? Or did you simply intend to reference crude forms of violence like war and physical assault Gunther? On Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 10:51 PM, Alex P.

[WikiEducator] Re: WE e-Newsletter; Technical Discussion
Hi Anil -- Wow Anil --- You're dedication and the time you donate to WikiEducator is an inspiration for all of us! Following the wiki approach -- I think that it would be appropriate for us to collaborate on the authorship of the newsletter in the wiki. We can then decide on alternatives for distribution. Given the large number of WikiEducator members from the developing world, I would be mindful of including this as an html newsletter or attachment. Perhaps the best will be to provide links to an online version on the wiki and optional link to download in print format. When working on dialup -- forced downloads of large messages can be irritating :-) The WikiEd technical team will be able to advise us on alternatives for the distribution list --- but this can wait until we get the first edition completed. Given that most of the Southern hemisphere will be slowing down for the holiday season, I think you're right in waiting till the new year.

[WikiEducator] 2008 Edublog awards
Hi Everyone, James over @ Edublogs posted an update message on the 2008 Edublog awards. It seems that the polls are close, so if you haven't had a chance to cast your vote for the best educational wiki --- now is the time :-): See: http://edublogawards.com/2008/best-educational-wiki-2008/ We also have a link from the home page on WE. Can't wait to see the outcome of the rankings. Here is the text from James' post: G'day Edublogs Awards subscriber, The Edublog Awards has posted a new item, 'Votes flooding in, but every poll still close!' We've had an incredible number of votes so far, approaching 1000 for several categories alone, and all the more impressive because that's limited to different individual IPs. Also, perhaps because of that, or maybe because we're hiding the %s, almost every category is on a knife edge!
