119 Using QR Codes in Teaching and Learning: Delivering the dream

QR codes. Mobile/webcam scannable images (2D barcodes) that with the right software will translate into defined pieces of information/tasks. i.e. URL, some text, a pre-defined SMS message.

125 It’s a nice place to visit but I wouldn’t want to live there: using the ‘Visitor-Resident’ principle to guide approaches to the participatory web.
David White, Marion Manton
(used http://prezi.com/)
Is it like Natives and Immigrants? Which basically meant old people don’t understand stuff.
Visitor/Resident isn’t the same sort of thing. It’s a sliding scale, but best described as 2 distinct things.
Visitors, when they log off, leave nothing behind. Residents partially live online, they have a persona online which partially remains behind when they log off.
Resident likes being communal, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are collaborative. Can workk autonomously as part of a collective. Not a hive mind. Micro-celebrity, the individual as a brand.
Being adept at one technology doesn’t necessarily translate to being good at another.
Visitors want to use the internet for s specific task, but won’t go beyond that. Goal oriented.
Educational culture isn’t a skill.
need to understand how/why to use something in order to /use/ it. teaching someone how to point/click use it doesn’t mean they ‘get’ it.
Need to understand which of your students are visitors or residents, proportional, and then understand the technology, is it a tool or is it a space?
Not about academic or technical skills, but about culture and motives.

Brock Craft
Attributes/elements of learning design.
A lot of interpretation of drawings/sketches and translating it into implementation in order to design ‘good’ UI for learning.
