Making the UDG Agora Work in Spanglish / Ingléspañol
This Tuesday marks the culmination of our second year of the UDG Agora project, maybe one of the best projects I have been ever part of for professional, collaborative, cultural, and human reasons. It is also one that will likely never make a splash in any academic marquee publishing space. The project is a significant […]
A Lovely Bloom of UDGAgora Hashtags
From our initial visits and surveys of participants, we knew twitter was not in wide use among the faculty participants of the UDG Agora project. We heard people mostly use Facebook, and WhatsApp for quick communication.
In our first meetings, we coll…
The Twitter Ramp Up Problem
We are hearing a lot of feedback from our UDG Agora participants that many of their efforts to have their students use twitter fall short “They don’t like it”, “They won’t go there”, “they prefer Facebook̶…
If You Can Explain Twitter to Your Mom…
I’ve used this suggestion a few times to participants in our UdGAgora Project who are trying to figure out what kinds of things they can have their students do, that also produce some artifact that documents their learning.
Few things work better…
The Implementation Plan Scene from “Dilo Space”
It is only for solemn or silly reasons I will put a cloth chain around my neck. Yesterday was definitely the latter.
I made a video as a “trailer” for our upcoming UdG Agora Google Hangout (this Friday) the live sessions we are running each…
Dilo (Ugh?) Our New Discourse Powered Platform for UdG Agora
This week we move into the second phase of the UdG Agora project. After two face to face one week long “studio” sessions of 150 University of Guadalajara faculty, we move into an 8 week online phase where they are asked to develop and impl…
The UDG Agora Group Photos
I should have posted these photos a while ago. On the last day of each week of the face to face activities for UdG Agora we asked people to assemble on the lawn outside the CUAAD campus classrooms we used for our sessions.
It worked our well because I …
The UDG Agora Challenge Bank- Newest Iteration of DS106 Assignment Bankenstein
Am major component to the UDG Agora Project is the Challenge Bank I put into place… and after two weeks of intense use for our face to face sessions in Guadalajara, I am quivering in relief that it worked w/o going up in flames.
It got close to 3…
Tweeting the #UdGAgora
I have no insight to the future of twitter as a company that rumbles around the conjecture, business, and tech gazing blogs. Tech is always a moving target. Below are some thoughts and even charts and graphs about our use of twitter for the UdGAgora pr…
Hace doce horas en un pasillo del hotel oscuro – Openness with Brian Lamb
Much as he may disavow my assertion (ask him about the one in Flagstaff a few years ago), Brian Lamb and I getting together for presenting is always a peak experience, usually peaking soon before it happens.
For the UdG Agora face to face sessions last…
The UdG Agora Daily Try
Another part of my bag of tricks I brought to the UdG Agora was setting up a site modeled after the original DS106 Daily Create (which is itself a derivative of the defunct Daily Shoot).
This idea is something I have kept close for quite some time, tha…
Building the Main UdG Agora Web Site
Alas, my pile of things to blog about the UdG Agora project is more like the pile of stones than the finished end piece. Here I will describe what went into the main project web site http://udg.theagoraonline.net/ — and as all my web sites go, th…
A Peek at the Web Machinery for the UDG Agora Project
Purring like a finely tuned machine…
To followup on the first phase the blogging about the UdG Agora Project, here I will dive into some details of the web site(s) which I am responsible/to blame for. This post covers the overall set up, some s…
The UdG Agora Project (part 1 of ∞)
I do not know where to begin writing. Back when I was just a puppy of a blogger, I’d document almost every session of a conference.
I look at this empty WordPress editing screen trying to figure how to describe the last two weeks spent in Guadal…
