Warning labels for news media

Some very cute stickers designed to emulate censorship warning labels, but for journalistic bias and bad practice.  A useful resource to discuss objectivity and information literacy with research students.

Fable Slides

These slides go with a paper I am writing on the regulation of the body (or avatar) in virtual spaces.  I apologise for the poor quality of the images,  I had two screen capture cards that completely falled to work and hard to resort to taking photos of the screen!

Slightly patronising in tone, but a good illustration of the points.   Also points out that 'project based learning' or 'problem based learning' is not the same as the old fashioned law problem question.

Connectivism

Contrary to appearances, I'm still alive here but I've been focusing on completing a teaching grant during the last few months and haven't taken the time to post.   I will get back on the box once the report is written, in the meantime check out George Siemens' Connectivism blog at http://www.connectivism.ca/
