facebook x pinterest email other apps october 15 2010 my first blog post for the umass online blog is now live check it out here i think i may have approached the subject here before i don t really remember but orientations are i think pretty important when you are entering an academic program it really sets the tone for the program both in term of curriculum and all the administrative minutiae that we as students have to deal with and if done right it creates connections to classmates alumni and outside organizations what do you think have you been to an orientation that rocked have you

october 08 2010 over the summer i started working on my field experience one of the last requirement for my ma in applied linguistics honestly last summer i would have preferred to have gotten the

been going on in the id circle for a while there are pros and cons to each position for example non formal trained ids instructional designers are seen are more creative and adaptive and in their mind formally trained ids are a bit more rigid at the other end of the spectrum formally trained ids see a formal education as i know why this is happening and i can harness its power instead of relying on chance and the degree of course can get them in the door whereas non degreed ids might have a problem with that there are some comments which just derail the discussion like a commenter that said that she wants to see people rename ids learning designers post a comment read more the importance of portfolios while searching for a job get link facebook x pinterest email other apps september 17 2010 i

effectiveness your thoughts start of copied info from linkedin this thought came to me while reading the discussion on the importance of a degree certificate in id so here s a question for all of you how important is a portfolio when searching for your new id job many people place a spotlight on the importance of portfolios of eportfolios in addition to experience recommendations and perhaps a degree of some sort in education but i ve seen three points against portfolios that are coming to my attention 1 recruiters or employers don t necessarily have the time to review your portfolio you

insidehighered com about netflix and library collections now i have to say that i enjoy reading josh s posts despite the fact that most of them induce a facepalm gesture i guess the first thing that gets me about these blog posts is that no one bothers to read them before publication either that or people really don t know the difference between a show and a shoe in any case this is a minor evil the major facepalm moment comes from not really understanding the making available aspect of library collections the question posed is this should institutions of higher education be in the business of purchasing videos for our collections the netflix value proposition was pretty compelling with over 100 000 titles but has the iphone and touch app put netflix over the edge i can t really blame people for wanti post a comment read more jay walker on the world s english mania get link facebook x pinterest email other apps september 06 2010 here s an interesting ted video on the world s english mania you know i am not sure i completely agree i think that there is a need for a worldwide lingua franca but i don t necessarily agree with jay that english or other major languages for that matter are not eroding regional and other national languages i guess this is a topic for a much wider discussion what do you think post a comment read more t minus 1 week get link facebook x pinterest

deals with contemporary issues in the fields of first and second language development and bilingualism will be addressed within the framework of the psychological development of the individual from

constructivist theory vygotsky s social interactionism and freirean critical consciousness and praxis having done most of the reading for this course over the summer i think it will be rather interesting it s all about how the mind a child s and an adult s mind picks up language and how we learn to learn a new language on top of our native language and the practicum aka field experienc post a comment read more translation random thoughts get link facebook x pinterest email other apps august 27 2010 a number of years ago i was approached by a firm to do a translation a one page bureaucratic document that that to do with excise taxes i was quite excited to be approached for this although i borked the translation i spent way too much time sweating the somewhat difficult stuff like all the crazy acronyms found in the document that i mistranslated big time units to small time units oh well live and learn now i ve been working on a longer literature translation on my spare time for a friend and i ve learned my lessons however another thought has come to mind how close to the original does a translator make his work the intent of the translation is to not necessarily translate everything verbatim but convey the meaning of the original into the target language what i am wondering is how much leeway does a translator have with tenses active versus passive voice and participial expressions for example you are translating something from a language where the post a comment read more wave goodbye to google wave say hello to get link facebook x pinterest email other apps august 23 2010 ok this isn t really news but the news is our all over the interwebs google will no longer be developing wave as a stand alone product and will keep the service up and running until the end of the year it will also provide a way for people to get their data off google wave i have to say that i really enjoyed messing around with google wave i got an early beta invite i invited some friends but the mistake was that i invited people that are gadget geeks like me but we don t normally collaborate this wave was really a bit useless for me because the people that i invited were people whose interactions with me would not push me to use the service google because open for everyone s use this past spring but by that time i hadn t really thought of uses for wave in a recent comment in insidehighered i saw that people were using wave as a replacement for the bulletin board system within the lms learning management system what a brilliant idea i think post a comment read more translation procrastination get link facebook x pinterest email other apps august 20 2010 a long while back i had translated a government memo from modern greek to english it was only one page and i wanted to have it be perfect i looked up all acronyms some of which i had no idea existed since i left greece before being involved too much with governmental bs but i missed the small things i had translated minutes as seconds bah what an newbie mistake i still beat myself up over it i became blinded by perfection that i missed the obvious in any case i am now back in the translation game this time translating for a friend the life and times of st margaret from new testament greek to english it s about 40 pages of new testament greek medieval greek goodness luckily all those years as an altar boy in greece and my two semesters of ancient greek had prepared me a bit for this under taking i procrastinated most of the summer but recently i got back in the groove the biggest problem again was perfection i was expec post a comment read more informal learning in the workplace get link facebook x pinterest email other apps august 16 2010 one of the topics that we covered in our knowledge management class back in the days of the mba was this whole concept of informal learning or water cooler learning that happens day to day in any given workplace in those 1 minute interactions at the watering hole you may learn something that impacts your job performance for better or for worse and one of the goals of km was is to capture such leaky knowledge for the benefit of everyone in the company i came across this presentation on informal learning a little while back and i thought it interesting i think that this is something that learning professionals should be exposed to if they are in a degree or certificate program 8 reasons to focus on informal social learning view more presentations from charles jennings post a comment read more road to the phd some thoughts get link facebook x pinterest email other apps august 13 2010 last week i spoke to a friend of mine who is already pursuing a phd said friend is at the dissertation stage if i am not mistaken i let her know that i am considering a phd having overcome my fear of writing long research based passages and having grown accustomed to the master s level difficulty i ve decided to up my game since i like learning new things i also aspire to one day be a professor so a phd is generally a must in these cases after many professors in many different fields have encouraged me to go for it i ve started compiling a spreadsheet of which schools have what i am interested in what the requirements for entry and exit are who the movers and shakers are i e potential advisors and what other important things are nearby i e centers of research that those schools collaborate with another major consideration is cost where are the stipends and assistantships you don t go into a phd program or the professoriate for that matter post a comment read more how important is encoding get link facebook x pinterest email other apps august 09 2010 here s some non random stream of consciousness for you as far as language goes how important is encoding to you does encoding really matter what do i mean by encoding the alphabet you use whether you represent words as syllables as characters as letters and how you put all that together the impetus for this though process comes from a pretty silly in my opinion facebook group that i was invited to a while back the group is called save the greek language kinda funny if you ask me because i don t think that the greek language is in any danger of being lost the details of the group say the following for the original look at the end of the blog post greek is one of the most beautiful languages english has a far reach and is a requirement greeklish emphasis added on the other hand is nothing mixed up messed up words that are convenient we will forget the greek we know prefer to write in greek script you will be expressing yours post a comment read more prezi revisited get link facebook x pinterest email other apps august 06 2010 i came across this prezi course introduction to an intro to learning on the cloud course i have to say that from a teaching and learning perspective the course looks pretty compelling this introduction was interesting as well however there is a big caveat i don t know if this was a self paced presentation or if it was used in an in class presentation as an in class presentation i can see this prezi working however as a voiceless self paced presentation it s a major fail about 40 seconds in having clicked next next next the animations in this prezi made me nauseated the the point that i needed to stop viewing it i wonder if this was a case of flashy prezi use or just a good presentation for the wrong medium teaching learning in the cloud on p...
