- About Me
- I admit to being a bit of a technology and information science geek. This is what can happen when you spend 5 years in film school....you find work in academic IT. I was a district technology manager in a suburban NJ K-12 school district, where in my spare time I taught TV production to HS students (in a working TV studio). I have spent the last 15 years in higher education. Having worked at all levels of education with an undergradute degree in film and communicatiions -and a technological curiosity- finally lead me to pursuiung a master's in library and information science through the UIUC Grad School of LIS and their distance learning option, LEEP. This experience changed my expectations about the possibilities for and relationship between content, technology and teaching. Just think about how collaborative learning, electronic publications, digital libraries, distance education, digital rights, and the ability for wireless access of information will change the ways in which future generations will get and use information. How will this transform society, business, and education? Can social, business and such networks lead us to discover new ways to manage knowledge?

Hi to all in C20,
This is my first post and I am very enthusiastic to learn about the many interesting ways in which you are advancing the practice of teaching using technology and hope that in some way I may contribute some worthwhile information.
Look forward to hearing from and sharing with you.

My name is Alyshia Olsen; I am a 20 year old college student from Olin College of Engineering. I am a part of a group of 6 Olin College students (we're in Needham, MA, and engineering students) who has taken a year off to work on an education related project. Since you are in the 'e-learning and online teaching' group, I thought you might be interested! Our project is called AlightLearning, and this is our "short" project description:
Under the assumption that within ten years, the landscape of modern education will have fully integrated what we now define as new classroom media: video, online collaboration, open source curriculum and other web tools, we hope to pioneer a web software tool that acts as a platform for this new media, bringing the power of the web and its tools to students, teachers and parents in a secure, comfortable and innovative environment. Our goal is to have our free software at a pilot middle school by April 15th, 2009, continuing to develop and coordinate with our users to create a product that other schools want to pilot and use at their schools, while allowing individual teachers to implement this tool in their own classroom.
Our project, titled Alight Learning, is currently trying to win a competition for startup funding on ideablob.com. You can find us at http://ideablob.com/3975 . We would love your support in the form of a vote within the next couple days, but more importantly we'd love your feedback and comments. Our description on Ideablob is short, and even the one above hardly gets at many of the issues we would like to take a stab at solving, but at least it's a start.
Feel free to email me back, check out alightlearning.com, anything you like!
Thanks,
Alyshia Olsen

Many thanks for your contact. Yes I have started to explore KM as well as web 2.0 technologies as I definitely feel libraries need to provide to their public a much more robust introduction to social issues than possible by traditional media and which is outside the scope of education institutions.
I note that you have both a F&TV teaching background and LIS masters. I sense a kindred spirit in terms of the exciting possibilities which for me is in bringing together library collections and communities engaging with these.

Thanks for taking time to look at some of our video work. You commented "Have you looked at I2 video projects?" Sorry I'm so dense, but I'm not sure where to find these I2 vids. I've found a lot of others on this site. Can you redirect me?
I'm a newbie here as of last week. I am interested in what others are doing out there with tech and specifically video. Here is the link to my school. Please check out what we are doing under RESOURCES

Our school is part of www.mondialogo.org
We are partnered with a school from Saudi Arabia. We are going to use ideas here on Classroom 2.0 to develop a collaborative video project that combines Hawaiian and Arabian dance and song to express each other's cultures ideas about sustainability.
Would love if you decide to join the group I´ve created with now about 220 members: Digiskills about digital teaching methods!
Greetings
Hans
