Thanks go to all CCK11 participants for they helped evolve the video to its latest version. It was great fun interacting and learning with you.

Thanks for the post. This animation makes some connections to Connectivism that I had not previously explored, and I was not at all aware of the work of Clifton. I'll look into it.
ReplyDeleteAs for making this better, you might drop the intro bit about shopping. It is cute but irrelevant and somewhat distracting.
Well done, I like the way you explain connectivism. A suggestion from me would be to add a picture with one to three sentences in a bullet list, that sum up what has been said for the past minutes, maybe two or three times in the movie. This will repeat the message so that it can be understood even better. And don´t forget to get a Creative Commons licence for your project and show this licence when you publish your final work, if you want us to share it. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHi, Anas,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You did a great job.
However, I had some trouble with the audio and I agree with Keith on dropping the shopping intro, just to make it shorter.
Cheers,
Verónica
I really enjoyed your presentation and learnt a lot about the various perspectives. I wouldn't change a thing about your presentation. Very cleverly made. Good job with GoAnimate!
ReplyDeleteHi Anas, you made me happy, I loved your video. It is a real movie. Do I remember right, there was an intro that Oh somebody came to watch this. I liked it. But I agree that shopping period was confusing and you have taken it away already.
ReplyDeleteI like the divide to 3 themes. It is near mine and I have worked those in my blog many times. I had the philosophy and values before I studies CCK courses and I had the psychology part (empowerment) - so what I needed was the learning technology and other communication skills using English - and I have practiced those skills.
I don't agree in details but it is not the purpose anyway. Downes and Siemens did not invent internet and the technologies, but they succeeded in using open courses, as many others have. For me the presentation was better without their faces (not sure were they there yesterday, didn't see them).
I think that human empowerment can be developed and supported in schools, it would be very stupid to stop educational institutions. Children need peers and teachers. I don't appreciate Sir Ken, and so on.
But I really appreciate your CCK11 presentation, it gives the context what I needed. I have spoken about connectivism as a movement and now I can see it as the technological part of the movement (to make this world better).
THANKS
P.S. Howard Rheingold has a lecture about same topics, do you know it?
[...] Apr 12th, 2011 by Heli I have been pondering my journey through CCK courses and reading my posts from autumn 2008. I was Very Enthusiastic to begin these studies. I found Howard Rheingold’s Talk from 2005 in which he described the development of human mankind toward collaboration and mutual understanding. I told about my own history, how I participated in the international student movement, began in Paris 1968 and came to Finland in 1970′ies. Great times, it was societal awakening in Europe. I was pondering what I had in my mind before CCK08 and what I was seeking for. And then, yesterday, I found Aboluay Eljamal’s final work for CCK11. It can be seen in his blog. [...]
ReplyDeleteShalom Mr. Aboluay,
ReplyDeletethanks for your animation. I mostly enjoyed the explanation of connectivism rooted in Vladimir Vernadsky and Teilhard de Chardin theory of the Earth's development, the noosphere. This item will make it much easier to explain connectivisem to Web 1.0 practioners.
Even so we have not met at the CCK11, I found myself reflecting on the past MOOC PLENK2010, where I met Heli.
Thanks again Eva Birger
Anas! Great job. I had only heard of Toffler so I picked up quite a bit. and I like how you framed it up on the final piece with Twitter, Facebook etc. And now I have a new tool to master with go animate!
ReplyDeleteAnas, you've done a tremendous job on your animation! Congratulations; I know how long this took you on GoAnimate, and I applaud your efforts,
ReplyDeleteBest,
LeahGrrl
Muito bom!
ReplyDeleteAnas,
ReplyDeleteYou've come up with a great script - very thorough and informative, with a touch of humour. You've sure put a lot of effort into this and the beauty of that is that we all get to benefit from your hard work! :) Thanks - and nice being your classmate again in the course.
Debbie
Hi Anas,
ReplyDeleteGreat presentation, I can imagine it was a great deal of work and I liked the use of various characters. I still have problems with cultural and historical assessments that demean and devalue common knowledge (eg. the characterization of agrarian societies as ones in which knowledge is held by priests or leaders (some knowledge was, but not all).
I also wonder about societies where there is little knowledge held in common and whether it is practical to individualize personal knowledge to an extreme. What if not enough personal strengths align with societal needs? How does strength assessment work and what if you perceive your strengths differently than what assessments determine. I know these ideas sound emancipatory; but isn't there just as much risk that they are limiting?
As you can see, you've given me plenty to think about, so great job!
Dave
