[Insert Clever Title Here]

by  • 

Hi everyone! My name is Dani Fernandez and I am a graduate student at CSU Chico. I am also a first time teacher and I cannot wait to participate in this Connected Course. For my thesis, I am studying mentorship in small group spaces and the identity construction that goes in to becoming a “teacher,” a “mentor,” a “near peer,” etc. To be honest, I’m a little overwhelmed with this incredible learning opportunity. I welcome and would really appreciate any advice or comments from anyone participating in this course. I am forever learning how to be a better teacher and how to be a better student. Thank you!

Hello everyone, I am proud to be participating in Connected via Chico State this Fall semester. My name is Derek Swain and I am currently a third year Grad Student at Chico State, who is working closely with Dr Jaxon on a Thesis concerning the implementation of Augmented Reality Games or Alternative Reality Games in different domains that have a pedagogical efficacy. To that effect, I’ve started calling myself the gaming guy. I look forward to participating in this community both as a way to gain and share ideas but also potentially get some constructive feedback on the ideas I am trying to work through.

Only the Beginning…

Hello, all, and welcome to CSU, Chico Connected 2014. My name is Jeremy Wallace and I’m a Graduate student here at California State University, Chico. I want to first tell you that I am in awe and inspired by the work that all of you out there are doing and am thankful to be apart of this. In being apart of connected learning spaces like these where sharing our ideas seems key, my hopes are that we can improve upon the foundation laid before us by scholars in the way of teaching literature and incorporate new tools and practices into the classroom in order to better connect and engage with the 21st century student. I appreciate all and any comments/help that you give and look forward to a wonderful experience here. Thanks,

Hi everyone,

I took the plans you shared last night and created a first stab at a resource list HERE.

I think we should form some reading groups. I know one group will be working with the Jenkin’s book (reading and participatory culture). Perhaps others of you want to jump into some game theory and read a similar text together? Maybe start with James Gee or Jane McGonigal? Maybe another group start in digital humanities or open web?

Let’s use this Google Doc as a way to sign up to read together: you could put your name next to texts or areas you want to read in over the next two weeks and find partners/groups to read with you.
