Week5: Reading Reflection

-
     This week is a bit of a hectic for me but I managed to read a paper from the list. In the blog, I'd like to share my experiences with OER and microlearning (Word & Dennen, 2021).     I've been working on a community named Indischool for my community observation paper. And a similar pattern of sharing among teachers was also described in the paper. And it was very interesting to note that some teachers buy and sell teaching materials online. In Indischool, every action of sharing is purely based on voluntary good intentions. But if money starts playing a role in there, I think it'd look quite different.      And I've been struggling to build my own website these days. I really like Dr. Bret's template and I saw him having the whole repository of his personal website on GitHub. I checked out his repository and among the bunch of files... I found the original template that Dr. Bret used. So I downloaded all the relevant repositories to my Gi...

Week2: Discussion Reflection

-
     I went through this week's discussion topics and here is what I thought about so far.     First of all, I think Web 2.0 helps people learn, although I'm still not sure about social media's educational affordance. Good examples can be found in coding/programming topics. There are so many welcoming communities in that area full of people eager to share their knowledge about how to code or debug. You can easily get an essential piece of information to get through an obstacle you bumped into while programming, which will be very hard if you only try to solve it with published knowledge, such as books. Also, I'd like to note that lurking is definitely an act of learning, although it does not directly contribute to the community.     Among the comments, Bobbi's comment reminded me of what I believed as a teacher. So, people say the younger generation is born with the Internet at the tip of their fingers, calling them 'digital natives'. Does that mean th...

Week3: Discussion Reflection

-
     I really enjoyed reading this week's discussion. And there are some interesting points I would love to add.      Lurking is acknowledged as a peripheral participation by some scholars. It is well elaborated in chapter 16 of this handbook of learning analytics: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Q7hziWA3cM8SrLkXA4aJTZn1_EEwVllY/view?usp=sharing      And  there are some communities that force newcomers to lurk until they get used to the community's tacit rule. I never expected my interest in subculture can be academically helpful for me, but well, here I go. I think nobody from EME6414 would have heard about Daknunsam (닥눈삼). It means 'shut up and lurk for three months'. It was often used in Korean subculture online websites where people shared information about a game (usually Japanese). When a newbie comes in and leaves a post, asking a question in an inappropriate manner (actually it is a very appropriate and polite manner on mos...
