Vergil’s Coffee

These are blogged notes from my rough draft idea blog (http://blogs.opml.org/chrisjudson) that I used to present a concurrent session at the 2008 Indiana Computer Educator conference last week. Here’s the abstract:

Most of the successful transitions to moving instruction toward technology suggests a shift in pedagogy. Many times, incorporating technology into the classroom has amounted to the “Napoleon Plan” of decision making . Instead of merely putting up a static .html page with class rules, an assignment schedule, and perhaps some online quizzes, the effective online classroom makes use of the social aspect of the internet and structure and some would suggest moving toward a social constructivist approach to pedagogy.
