Week5: Lingering Questions

-
 I was out of town for the past weekend and the blogging totally slipped my mind. Hopefully, I don't get a lower grade than B on this course. lol * Now that I mention Classting, Class123, and stuff, I wonder how that market in Korea is doing. Also, wouldn't US teachers have similar needs? Are there any social media specifically designed for schools in the US? * Shaniqua mentioned in her comment on my blog post that crossing the boundary also happens between professionals. I wonder what that looks like. Because of the cultural difference, I may have crossed the boundary without realizing it when I was interacting with other students or professors at a conference. * I read somewhere that some teachers are paying to download some class materials from the Internet in the US. (That rarely happens in Korea, at least to my knowledge). I wonder how they feel about it when they actually pay to work.

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...

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...
