Hot Seat Discussions (Oct 10) – 8th International Conference on Networked Learning

The Hot Seats, an informal and free series of online discussions by international researchers in the area of networked learning, are about to begin next Monday, October 10.

This is a lead-in to the 8th International Conference on Networked Learning, scheduled for Maastricht in April 2012. Participation in these online discussions, based around the research of a number of very interesting scholars and led by the authors themselves, is open to anybody; conference registration is not required.

Hope to see some of my colleagues discussing these topics online.

Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2011-10-01

  • @hypatlikeya What is your area of research that calls for bringnig Freire into the picture? #phdchat #
  • @suifaijohnmak BTW, I blogged about using social media in academic research today http://t.co/UlYig03I #change11 #phdchat #
  • @suifaijohnmak Great idea; perhaps something to consider once I finish! The process has been successful, but until its conclusion I hesitate #
  • @lizgloyn Excellent! I hope your experiences of it earlier on are better than mine. It can be an uncomfortable mirror at first. #
  • @suifaijohnmak As a matter of fact, I did all of my doctoral data collection from a distance as well; it is fundamental for my work #phdchat #
  • @suifaijohnmak I did research over a distance before SM, and have done several since. It is a natural way of working and researching now #
  • @suifaijohnmak Oops; I meant connectivism!! #
  • @klang67 I do not recall much of it, though I still shudder with how boring and long and tedious it was. #
  • @bigkebabman Excellent. All the best for a smooth transition. #
  • @sarahthesheepu @savasavasava How exciting! You may just get here and want to stay. That happened to me 24 years ago. #
  • @HendraAgustian Ahh, deep response for a Friday. Kudos! #
  • @savasavasava I always liked the Beastie Boys. #
  • @savasavasava Iller or fuller? #
  • @suifaijohnmak Have you found other opportunities to collaborate from a distance without the necessity of F2F? #
  • @queercrip Now you are talking! Nothing like a French Chateauneuf. Nothing at all like one. #
  • @hypatlikeya Fascinating. Do you think that is due to your experiences of hegemonic power online, or perhaps something else? #
  • @michaelwillits I agree, though interesting to contrast SM as rich but also potentially dark, as any offline experience can also be recast? #
  • @queercrip Goodness, my friend, recast it in more positive language! Not solitude and boredom, but perhaps singularly focused and reflective #
  • @suifaijohnmak @ai1sa I have never been to your side of the world. One day, I expect. #
  • @suifaijohnmak True. I recall some of those things from CCK08. You became fond of collectivism during that experience, right? #
  • @NancyWhite You always strike the right notes in my book, Nancy White. @MarinaDev #
  • @michaelwillits Verily, many find Twitter a challenge at first, especially when compared to the false sense of security in FB @Dudeman91 #
  • @christiepooh Did not see that, though I do have visions of the Pringles Ad http://t.co/7fKDZcuo #
  • @suifaijohnmak Yes, I am in #NYC I love travel, though seem to always return here. Something of New York pulses in my veins. #
  • @suifaijohnmak So, you know them well enough to say that, though never a F2F before. Tell me, how did that develop? #
  • @LawandLit @THREsq @klang67 My sentiments of The English Patient match Elaine's http://t.co/lb9EpOdq I hated it! #
  • @queercrip That is one experience I am confident to say I have not had. #
  • @tassie_gal Not familiar with that concept, though interested in learning more if you locate one #phdchat #
  • @savasavasava I am not the best competitor, but even if I were, I could never top that! #
  • Goodness, what a #Twitterburst here of 39 Tweets. Not that I am counting, what with my qualitative focus and such #phdchat #
  • @trentmkays Well, off with you then. May rest refresh and re energize to resist resistors. #
  • RT @heatherdavis: RT @LeadersLearn: Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow – Plato #phdchat #
  • @HendraAgustian To what end? #phdchat #
  • @trentmkays Perhaps, depends on how critical, though! #
  • @trentmkays Surprised you let me get away with that; critical learners act up, not read in #phdchat #
  • I really like House of Pain's Jump Around, almost enough to want to work out. Better than many, I suppose–almost moved to act. #
  • @bigkebabman How is the countdown coming? #phdchat #
  • @trentmkays Hey, reading is what learners do, ehh? #phdchat #
  • @hypatlikeya I love Freire. What do you want to do with him? #phdchat #
  • @savasavasava Why SF? @sarahthesheepu #
  • @savasavasava No problem; just enjoy strolling around DUMBO. #
  • @trentmkays Rather eclectic group, though looks to be a lot of reading. Good for you–nothing like being armed for research #phdchat #
  • @michaelwillits @Dudeman91 I tend to stay away from those protected Twitter accounts; seems just the opposite of what I find so rich here. #
  • @christiepooh Goodness, you have the energy to be interested in getting ready? Must have strong coffee for that. #
  • @trentmkays Good, we are both pushing boundaries then. #
  • @trentmkays Well, in the US 2nd year can still be new!! #
  • @trentmkays Reason I am asking is I do not often think of methods as applied or not; I tend to think they are more contextually called for. #
  • @lynntrinko Cool. I have never attended AAACE; have you? What are you presenting on? #phdchat #
  • @DrGarcia At least you can take consolation that there is no bad French wine. I love the French . . . #
  • @trentmkays Did you get any good suggestions for this? #
  • @lynntrinko Alas, nothing else this year. Wanted another one or two, but without papers there, I cannot justify the additional debt. You? #
  • @trentmkays Ahh, must be a new PhD student . . . #
  • @aeratcliffe Yes, depression is easier to fight if they are awake. Wide awake. #phdchat #
  • @savasavasava Hey, what happened to our drinks on the roof plans?!?! #
  • @lynntrinko I so wish I had a hedge maze . . . though am afraid of axes. #
  • @suifaijohnmak Yes, I met Jenny for the first time, as well as Roy. Good people. I had to scrape for the $; very pricy from the US. #
  • @ai1sa @suifaijohnmak I remember hearing about #ANT for the first time at the last NLC; hope I can follow more easily this time #NLC2012 #
  • @suifaijohnmak I attended that conference early in my current doctoral studies. Now two years later may have a different perspective #phchat #
  • @suifaijohnmak I liked the 2012 NLC. Nice group of people, all while being among the more academic conferences I have attended. #
  • @suifaijohnmak Congrats on the good news on your end. Kudos! I would go to endless conferences if I had any funding at all. #
  • @ai1sa @suifaijohnmak Will hope for more clarity this time at #nlc2012 Now, about finishing my paper, what with the extension!! #
  • @ai1sa @suifaijohnmak You are so kind and generous! Interestingly, many people had no idea what I was talking about last time at #nlc2012 #
  • @Lemness @savasavasava Verily, why limit it to $15? Perhaps we can reach for the stars!! #
  • @Lemness @savasavasava Neither are really for me; I would probably shy away a bit. I like the #phdchat F2F when visiting, but not ongoing. #
  • @gawbul @Lemness Thank you!! #phdchat #
  • @sarahthesheepu Is this your first time to #NYC @savasavasava #
  • @sarahthesheepu @savasavasava I tentatively added these dates in Feb 2012 for a #NYC #phdchat #meetup Perhaps others may want to join? #
  • @SarahStewart #nlc2012 has an engaging series of free, focused online discussions in the months leading up to it http://t.co/eybTrva4 #
  • @SarahStewart #nlc2012 is the Networked Learning Conference 2012 http://t.co/fhdWRB0N #phdchat #
  • @lynntrinko Thanks for the recommendation. I tried to take it a little easy this evening. Now to try to get a bit 'o work done. #
  • The X Factor was in the background while working, and I got hooked on a song they used between scenes – Sonny J's Can't Stop Moving. Great! #
