Why I Teach
This is my post for http://whydoyouteach.wordpress.com I never wanted to be a teacher. I’m from a family of teachers: parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents… my parents’ friends were teachers, half of my childhood friends became teachers. Teaching was pretty much the … Continue reading →
Filosofie: het grote overzicht
Donderdag. Ik had er intussen twee razend interessante avonden opzitten (het kon dus onmogelijk nog beter worden). Tot… de cursisten begonnen toekomen. Het rustige tempo van dinsdag- en woensdagavond was al snel vergeten toen er zowat elke 3 seconden een nieuwe cursist de deur binnenkwam om uiteindelijk zowat de hele zaal op te vullen. In […]
Psychologie: hoe het allemaal begon
Dag 2: de eerste les psychologie. Deze keer goed op tijd ter plaatse, op de Thomas More campus psychologie in Antwerpen. Welkomstwoordje door opleidingshoofd Peter De Graef, die nog wat napraat na een receptie in de hal. Dan snel alles klaarleggen: kaften, boekjes, even de pc testen… Voilà, tijd voor een inwijding in de psychologie. […]

It Takes Time
FIrst impressions It was like I stepped into a dark room. The door closed behind me and I couldn’t find the handle to reopen it. I wasn’t sure I should reopen the door. I heard another language – open online, syndicated, digital presence, makes, RSS feed, DML, DS106, FemTechNet, reclaim hosting, and connected courses – […]

Holy Hashtags Batman!
Day 1 of Connecting it all Up. …and how did it go?? It was absolutely liberating. Photo CC licensed. http://bit.ly/YAyfSs (I’ll learn how to cite these cleverly soon…) For the first sessions in my different lectures today I got the students to find all the course materials in their various online locations… and start tweeting!

Connected Courses: The Case of ds106
Back in July a number of folks met at UC Irvine to plan and design the open, online, and very connected course that officially launches next week. That’s right, you guessed it: Connected Courses. I’m proud to be part of this group, and … Continue reading →
Connected Courses: It’s Time to Reclaim Your Domain
For more than a decade I’ve been circling around one pretty basic idea: the open web kicks learning management systems (LMS) asses when it comes to teaching and learning in higher ed. I’ve said it far less succinctly than that on … Continue reading →
Literatuur: de eerste les!
Een half jaar lang heb ik rondgezeuld met flyers. Iedereen die ik tegenkwam aangesproken, soms zelfs op het randje van storend, misschien. Maar toch – met resultaat: de inschrijvingen begonnen te lopen en de cursussen zouden echt kunnen starten. In september… Gisteren dus. Vers gedrukte notitieboekjes in de koffer. Kaften klaar, cursusmateriaal nog niet helemaal. De zaal […]

In this first topic we begin with a broad overview of sound in general and move to what you do on your instrument, looking at some of the mechanics of how and why. We need to begin with the everyday, to set a context before moving […]

The penny dropped…
(1 min read) It’s Monday, school run time, running late – and a bit of idle chit-chat with the teaching assistant just closing the waist-high iron gate behind us and she said: ‘Our biggest boy starts college this week. Can you believe it? Full time and he is only there two days a week. Full […]
