I enjoyed presenting at the OSU College of Education’s first ever Ed Camp Unconference in October. Check out this Padlet online sticky note! It contains resources used to dive into lively conversation about educational technologies, critical digital pedagogy, digital literacies and more! Enjoy!
It is back! Join the LET Community (Learning Educational Technologies) Monday, May 14 from 10-11:30 in Furman 405. I am excited for this time to build community surrounding learning technologies! Come and go as fits your schedule.
Here are some topics that will get our discussion rolling:
Our wonderful faculty from the Academic Technologies team and Ecampus will also join us in discussion and be on hand to ask/answer questions.
It is suggested you bring a laptop. Bring your curiosity, questions, and resources. Coffee and pastries will be provided!
Hope to see you there!
During the 2017 Spring OSU Ecampus Faculty Forum, I presented with other members of the Faculty Senate Online Education Committee in a session entitled An Online Educator’s Guide to Authentic Self-Promotion. The session covered things for online faculty to consider for their dossier, online peer observations, professional development strategies and documentation, and busting myths surrounding online education. It has been interesting to be a part of these discussions and to consider the topics in our presentation from multiple perspectives! Check out our presentation for more details and resources.
Access professional development strategies for online faculty resources from my Padlet online sticky note. (Hint: Scroll down once you are on the site.) Add your suggestions!
Other 2017 Spring Ecampus Faculty Forum Presentations can be viewed online. Thanks Ecampus for another good conference!
LET (Learning Educational Technology) Community will meet in Furman 405 from 10-11:50 am on the following dates: Friday, April 28; May 19th; and June 9th.
You are welcome to come for the entire time or come and go as fits your schedule. We will continue to explore and learn together surrounding learning technologies. An ongoing theme that runs through our discussions is social justice and equity surrounding learning technologies in online learning spaces. One of our meetings will include hands-on learning with WebEx and other video conferencing tools. Have another topic or educational technology tool you wish to explore? Let Cheridy or Jennifer know. Join us for coffee, tea, snacks and good conversation. Join us online in the Tech’d Out Learning Facebook Group.
What frameworks do we use when considering technology integration to support learning? What does digital literacy mean in education? Our January Learning Educational Technologies (LET) meeting focused on discussion surrounding these types of questions. Here are some highlights and resources.
Did you know the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) has new standards for K-12 students? Check out the 2016 ISTE Standards for Students (scroll to bottom) and compare them to the 2007 ISTE Standards for Students. The ISTE Standards for Teachers are due for a refresh. Compare the draft to the current ISTE Standards for Teachers. What are your thoughts?
What frameworks aid in guiding considerations surrounding learning technologies? We tapped the surface in our discussion, leaving more to explore! In my presentation, Brainstorm: Why, How, When, Which Tools, slides 3-7 explore a few such as the SAMR model, TPACK, critical pedagogy, considerations with English Learners, and more. We also had a rich discussion piggybacking off The Office of Educational Technology’s Educational Technology in Teacher Preparation Challenge (2016).
What does the term “digital literacy” mean? We began discussions and collecting related resources, while keeping in mind our ongoing conversation surrounding equity and inclusiveness in online spaces. Here are few resources promising to ignite conversation: From Written To Digital: The New Literacy in Educause Review (March/April 2016); Kathy Schrock’s Resources for the Digital Age; and sources I aggregate on my When Tech Met Ed Digital Literacies page. I highly recommend Kevin Kelly’s book, The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technology Forces that will Shape our Future (2016) as food for thought in the context of education.
Let’s continue these discussions! Add to the resources and conversations by joining one of our upcoming LET meetings. Share in the Tech’d Out Learning Facebook group.
During Winter term, the LET (Learning Educational Technology) Community will meet in Furman 405 from 10-11:50 on the following dates: Friday, January 27; Friday, February 24; and Friday, March 17.
We look forward to another good term of exploring issues surrounding learning technologies! A sampling of potential topics include Open Educational Resources, exploring WebEx, Canvas, instructional design best practices and continuing our discussion about social justice and equity.
Join us for coffee, tea, snacks and good conversation! Also, join our Tech’d Out Learning Facebook group.
Did you know OSU has Box? In short, Box is unlimited, secure cloud data storage. It allows anywhere, anytime, any device accessibility. It makes sharing and collaboration easy. Learn more at Box for Oregon State University and use the Getting Started With Box information.
The Learning Educational Technology (LET) Community gained an overview of the new Box for Oregon State University in our November meeting. We will continue to explore it!

You are welcome to come for the entire time or come and go as fits your schedule. On our first meeting, we will build community surrounding learning technologies and choose topics we wish to explore.
