[WikiEducator] Re: Non Formal Education *NFE discussion
Phil, when people are done with the technical discussion, and if you are still interested, I am a radical unschooler in real life and I can probably play this ball with you. I have connections in unschoolers' circles. My pedagogical interest is in mathematics. -- Cheers, MariaD Make math your own, to make your own math. http://www.naturalmath.com social math site http://www.phenixsolutions.com empowering our innovations On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 1:07 AM, Phil Bartle cmpbar...@gmail.com wrote: I am thinking about backing out of this endeavor.

Hi Phil, Personally I work here only in Spring semesters when I'm teaching my wiki-related course. Much of the technical discussion sails over my head innocuously. You have contributed content as I expect many teachers will do. There are others who are better versed in the technowizardry and I say 'let them have at it'. I can pop in later and borrow the code that they have willingly shared here and apply it to my purposes. So, I would suggest sticking with it if the mood strikes you. And if not, then you have made a contribution that will remain and will at some point be built upon by others, or by you if your mood brings you back this direction. Most important, I would not let the technical learning curve get in the way of content.

Hi All, Phil raises an important concern: As our community grows, the list of technical inquiries and comments are likely to grow, as is the demand for inquiry and comment about pedagogical issues. At what point do we decide to have different mailing lists? - Randy On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 5:44 AM, Declan declanjmcc...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Phil, Personally I work here only in Spring semesters when I'm teaching my wiki-related course.

Hi Phil, Honestly I've been waiting for the Functional Literacy content come alive. This is of particular interest to me, I'm also involved in the NFE loop, even I'm not enroled yet to your endeavour (wish day had 48 hrs), but if you decide to continue it I'd gladly assist you on sorting tech issues, while you and other folks focus on the approach.
