4 6-ounce 3/4 inch-thick red snapper fillets with skin
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 large scallion
2 tablespoons roasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 F. Mince garlic to make 1 tablespoon. Place an 18-by 24-inch sheet of foil on a cookie sheet and spray with cooking spray. Place fillets in a single layer in the center. Evenly sprinkle garlic and pepper flakes on both sides of fish; leave skin side up. Fold foil in half over fish, leaving a little headspace, then fold to seal edges. Bake 10 minutes or until fish just flakes when tested with a fork.
As fish roasts, thinly slice scallion to make 1/3 cup. In a small skillet, heat oil on high until hot but not smoking. Add scallions and cook 30 seconds, or until just wilted. Set aside. Using a splotted spatula, transfer fillets to plates. Evenly distribute scallions and sesame oil over fish and drizzle with soy sauce

As you can see, I am creating a main course that contains the syllabus and then hyperlinking each unit in the syllabus to a meta-course. Will upload meta-course headers a bit later.
Gliffy is a free web application for diagramming. It has a straightforward interface that makes it easy to create a little diagram in about fifteen minutes. Not the slickest looking product, and I always find it annoying when you can’t remove the little advertising stamp, but I bet it wouldn’t be too difficult to really master the tool and make it work for you.
Howard Rheingold is a vanguard figure in participatory learning and a recent winner of the HASTAC Digital Media and Learning Competition, which sponsored the development of his recently unveiled Social Media Classroom. Here’s a screencast that describes the project:
While Rheingold embraces the use of social media tools in the classroom, he also is careful to explore the darker side of social media with his students. Here is an interview between Rheingold and Trebor Scholtz, author of “What the MySpace generation needs to know about working for free” :
One of the things I’ve tuned into lately is the proliferation of free online courses offered by scholars in the open education and open culture movements. Anyone with an interest in the subject and an internet connection can enroll in these online courses, and it is often possible to arrange for credit through one’s home university by getting a faculty advisor to sign on to the plan.
Although I’m not at this time actively participating in these courses, I am following their development and making use of some of the high quality resources they so conveniently aggregate. In that spirit I share a video of Wiley’s introductory lecture:
I spend a chunk of each day (Monday through Thursday, approximately 3 hours per day) visiting various middle schools and high schools in Brooklyn and working with teachers, and in one case, a principal, on using the open-source course management system (CMS) moodle (something like Blackboard) to achieve their instructional goals while incorporating social constructionist approach to learning theory.
One of the things I’m working on in the context of this fellowship are the issues of structure and interface in personal learning environments. It’s tough to explain the awkward structure and grammar of moodle and Blackboard if you are not familiar with them, but what I’m basically trying to do is make the course operate more like a normal interactive website inside the moodle.
