Ok, I am back from a very successful E-Learn 2008 Conference in Las Vegas. I actually got home a few days ago, but it has taken a little while to catch my breath. We set attendance records with more than 1,000 attendees. We had a highly engaging and rewarding preconference symposium on e-learning in Asia with 12 participants from 12 countries. We will turn that into a special journal issue on e-learning in Asia during the next few months and perhaps a print on demand book. We also had many excellent keynote and invited addresses. What a week it was! If you unfortunately missed the conference, one of the fantastic keynote speakers at the E-Learn 2008 Conference last week in Las Vegas was Dr. Roy Pea from Stanford University. I have been a fan of Roy's work for more than two decades now. Roy is currently Professor of Education and the Learning Sciences at Stanford. He is also Director of the Stanford Center for Innovations in Learning. The title is his keynote address was, "Learning in a Networked World: Trends and Opportunities in the Future of Technology for Learning Environments and Education." Roy has a couple of relevant websites: 1. Info from Stanford on Roy Pea. 2. Roy's Personal Homepage. 3. Stanford Center for Innovations in Learning. 4. Learning Sciences and Technology Design Program at Stanford. Dr. Mimi Miyoung Lee from the University of Houston, one of the program chairs with me, had a chance to interview him via email before he spoke and use this information in her introduction of him. Their questions and answers are below. Enjoy. Interview with Roy Pea, E-Learn 2008 Keynote Speaker, Thursday November 20th, 2008. Mimi Question #1: When was the first time you used a computer? Roy: 1977 - When I wrote my dissertation while on a long-term visit at Rockefeller University from Oxford (where I collected my dissertation data), before my postdoc there. I worked inside a psychologist's sound-proof booth where a computer keyboard and terminal was used for psycholinguistic experiments - it was linked to a PDP-11 also used to run infancy studies and collect HeartRate data. I did not see any of my writing as print until a special rented interface to an IBM Selectric typewriter printed out the 400 or so final pages! Mimi Question #2: Do you ever purposeful try to stay away from technology? If yes, what do you do? (e.g., technology free weekends) Roy: Perennial gardening. Mimi Questions #3: Can you name a couple of unique ways that technology has affected your personal or professional life in a positive way? (e.g., online Flickr account, mobile learning, etc.) Roy: Social networks via distributed grants and centers over the years (e.g., my CoVis Project from 1991-1997; the Center for Innovative Learning Technologies from 1996-2002; the LIFE Center now, 2004-ongoing). Mimi Question #4: If you had to look back and pick a year or event, when did your career in learning technologies take off and why? Roy: Studying elementary school children learning Logo programming and whether it was influencing their planning and problem solving skills - at Bank Street College, where we created the first national center devoted to children and technology (1981). It was the huge crowd at an AERA in 1983 where I presented this work along with other studies of children and computing from my colleagues that I knew there was interest in such programs of empirical study and theory development (geez, now 25 years ago!). Mimi Question #5: What is one thing happening in the world of e-learning that too few people know about? Roy: Elastic cloud computing. Mimi Question #6: What project(s) are you currently working on that has you most excited and why? Roy: The LIFE Center (NSF Science of Learning Center), which I co-lead with many exciting colleagues in cognitive science, developmental psychology, anthropology, communication, neurosciences (http://life-slc.org). We are working on foundational advances for theories of learning across informal and formal environments and toward design principles to guide developments of learning environments, including technology-enabled ones. I also have a new mobile technologies science learning project with Marcelo Milrad in Sweden I'm enthused about but only now starting up. Mimi Question #7: Do you have any important publications on the horizon? Roy: (1) Working on a new book on learning that is intensely interdisciplinary and integrative during this sabbatical year. (2) A journal article in development with doctoral students Robb Lindgren and Sarah Lewis on how first-person perspective video is more physiologically arousing and leads to greater conceptual learning than third-person perspective video. Mimi Question #8: What is the most interesting place you have ever presented and why? Roy: The Mayor of Barcelona in Spain once hosted an international symposium on computers, school and society (1987) with interdisciplinary participants from many countries and simultaneous translation. It took place over 2-3 days in the grand and centuries-old city governmental palace (with gold-gilded ceilings and exquisite paintings and tapestries). Invited participants were given a substantial and surprise honorarium in cash, under the pillow of the best hotel! The major dinner banquet had huge silver bowls filled with lobsters, shrimp and other gifts of the sea. The conversations were stellar as well. Mimi Question #9: Tell us one thing people do not know about you. Roy: I grew up in Detroit as a Motown kid with all that implies. Mimi Question #10: What are your hobbies?
Roy: Intense English perennial gardening. I love cooking and serving many different cuisines (enclosed a picture of my daughter Elle with summer pesto and sweet grape tomatoes). Mountain hiking with wife and colleague Brigid. Beachcombing. Ocean fishing. Broadly based music appreciation.
Mimi Question #11: Can you send any photos, pictures, visuals, etc. (with captions) that illustrate any of your answers that we can use in your introduction?
Roy: See below.
Ok, everyone, please come to E-Learn 2009 in Vancouver next year! It will be October 26-30, 2009. The views will be spectacular just like those above that Roy sent us. See ya there!
Language Translation Capacity added to E-Learn Blog
Participants in the E-Learn 2008 Blog can now view postings in quite a few languages. You simply enter the Blog off the E-Learn 2008 Las Vegas home page and then click on the Translate Blog link below the blue Resource Links button. I read through the Spanish translation and it was quite accurate.E-Learn Keynote and Invited Speakers Introduced Using…..
All E-Learn 2008 Keynote and Invited speakers were asked to respond to the following questions in an effort 1) to give attendees insights into their perspectives and histories on technology and 2) to avoid reading brief bios readily available to E-Learn participants via other resources: a. When was the first time you used a computer? b. Do you ever purposefully try to stay away from technology? If yes, what do you do? (e.g., technology free weekends) c. Can you name a couple of unique ways that technology has affected your personal or professional life in a positive way? (e.g., online Flickr account, mobile learning, etc.) d. If you had to look back and pick a year or event, when did your career in learning technologies take off and why? e. What is one thing happening in the world of e-learning that too few people know about? f. What project(s) are you currently working on that has you most excited and why? g. Do you have any important publications on the horizon? h. What is the most interesting place you have ever presented and why? i. Tell us one thing people do not know about you. j. What are your hobbies? k. Can you send any photos, pictures, visuals, etc. (with captions) that illustrate any of your answers that we can use in your introduction? Hopefully session participants have enjoyed the Keynote and Invited Speakers' responses to the above inquiries.Got Twitter?
Got Twitter? I don’t mean only in “do you have a twitter account?”. That’s the easy part. I’m referring to whether you’ve wrapped your mind around what twitter is and why it’s getting so much attention.
Twitter is best seen as a tool for staying in touch with, and aware of, others. (for a more advanced exploration of the utility of twitter see: social grooming). Or you might find this short video overview of Twitter useful.
How do you get started?
- Set up an account
- Find some people to engage with (or in Twitter language, friends). E-Learn 2008’s Twitter profile is here. My profile is here. Feel free to post your twitter profile in the comments section.
- Use hashtags (#). #elearn is our conference hashtag. It’s a useful way to connect with others who are at the conference. Use it in your tweet and others will happily find you.
- Use twitter search to explore comments on the conference, presenters, etc.
As with any technology, the proof is in the doing. Alan Levine has posted the Twitter Life Cycle that seems to resonate with many new users (i.e. starts with “this is the dumbest thing ... ends with “I can't stop!").
If you already use Twitter, what are you doing with it? Using it to stay in contact with colleagues? What about for interactions with students?
