CEL2012 Andrew Douch –
45 mins
Andrew Douch has given some presentations at our campus,
which I found very motivating, so I thought I would see if I could find anything
on Youtube. The above link is to a talk
he gave of about 45 minutes. It is directed to high school educators, but much
of what he says is relevant to all contemporary instructional design. He’s not
as funny as Sir Ken Robinson, but he does refer to one of his books. Douch is
very passionate, and his enthusiasm for the way technology can transform
learning is inspiring. The slideshow behind him is not often visible, but this
doesn’t detract from the message of the presentation. He refers to the theme of
swimming against the rip constantly, and intersperses plenty of personal
anecdotes to keep the talk interesting – even if you are not fully fascinated
by what he has to say.
Information literacy
in the digital age – Brian Peters – 6 mins
This is a much shorter video which highlights the need for evaluating
webpages. It emphasises the importance of the role of the librarian in ensuring
students can find appropriate information. This is beneficial to my students
who for the moment are students researching, but will one day be the person in
the library to help the students from all areas. The narrator isn’t really
passionate or inspiring in delivery, but hopefully the students will get the
message that information literacy is important and that their work will be
valuable.
