Through TOEP I discovered the Chronicle of Higher Ed Blogs where I stumbled onto an idea I plan to try out.
"When I sit next to a friend in a conference audience who has never collaboratively written anything in Google Docs and suggest we take notes together."
I anticipate that this experiment may lead to some insights about the conference sessions that I may not discover on my own and to new thoughts about the collaborative writing process.
As I was reviewing the content of the blog/wiki section I made further refinements to tweak and narrow down to just the very best resources. If anyone ever has input regarding a link that may not have be most relevant or up-to-date, or better yet if you stumble on a tremendous resource that is not included, make sure to contact the TOEP team to let us know. This is the best way to make the TOEP pilot project the most effective learning resource for everyone involved.
Hi, Robin:
ReplyDeleteI am so glad we are including the aggregators in the revisions for this section. I think that it is important to expose all of us to relevant "engines," since we all get stuck on our personal favs.
I agree that GoogleDocs is powerful. Did you know that a GoogleSite can be a Wiki, since page-level permissions are possible? Of course, when it comes to Wiki-ing, it is important to set up and model publishing conventions, and pre-think how things should be organized. That's why Blogs are often an easier starting point for students, I think.
Thanks for all you do on the project : )
