I want to create pages along with my students, so I am creating this sandbox page where I will evaluate some articles in Wikipedia. I have some other open work I have done on Wikieducator:

My Experience as a Wiki Editor
This is an example of how students could start a blog that could be semi-private (but available for the instructor to monitor as time passes. Each weekly entry could answer a couple questions and record how students assess their learning in short paragraphs.
 * 1) What did you learn about wiki editing this week?
 * 2) How do you feel about your learning?Jrradney (talk) 01:57, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

Article Evaluation
This is my section on Wikipedia articles I am evaluating. I am not being negative toward any article authors; I am merely using this as a way to learn about writing Wikipedia articles. Since I am just a learner, please be gentle with your comments! Jrradney (talk) 02:09, 19 January 2018 (UTC) I attempted to edit the Canadian Shield article to provide a citation for some general information about the feature of geography. Reviews are likely to be mixed, since I am just learning the process.Jrradney (talk) 00:23, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Projects
I am attempting to increase operations and accessibility at a local (OERu partner) university. We are exploring changes to delivery of courses that would incorporate online and face-to-face elements, as well as a more concentrated schedule that would allow greater focus upon fewer subjects at a time. Those of you who are interested in how I am developing a sense of my own coaching may want to read my blog.

In the past year, I have become involved with the excellent online education organization, Integrating Technology for Active Life-long Learning (IT4ALL). If you want you can meet the team here.

I also am learning to facilitate WikiEducator workshops. For an example, see eL4C41. If you would like to request for me to facilitate a workshop in WikiEducator (or on any of the projects on this page that interests you), please leave a note in the WikiNeighbour comments section at the bottom of this page or in the discussion page. In early 2015, I want to participate in the Digital Skills for Open Education Resources (DS4OER) course.

Finally, I have become active on Google+.

Web Resources
I am focused upon developing the use of the following Web 2.0 resources in education:


 * http://diigo.com


 * Enables storing of compiled research online.
 * Enables private and public group research and discussion.
 * Stores highlighting and commentary on Web pages.


 * http://docs.google.com


 * Enables individual and collaborative writing using a variety of media.
 * Enables collaborative presentation and discussion.


 * http://plus.google.com


 * Enables interaction collaboratively in a mediated environment more varied than previous IM tools.
 * Integrates with other non-linear tools for examining concepts, building understanding, etc. 


 * http://skype.com


 * Enables text chatting and file sharing in small to medium-sized groups.
 * Enables audio discussion in combination with text chatting for up to 25 participants.
 * Enables video consultation, screen sharing, and collaboration one-on-one. Recent PC release allows up to 6 people in video interaction.



Important Diigo Groups
These are groups within Diigo that I belong to. I have joined several of these groups in-progress, and I have created some groups, primarily as places where my students can collaborate to common purpose. "My Diigo Groups"

WikiFriends
I would like to ask all my WikiEducator friends to add their signatures in this section. Although I am trying to be a good WikiNeighbour to all those around me, I am not always alert to changes on pages. If you want me to add your page to my watchlist on a longer term basis than just a workshop that I may be facilitating, please leave your signature in this area, and I will try to monitor your work regularly.

Sandbox

On the linked page above, I hope to develop some tutorials for miscellaneous computer tasks that users have requested.

This section is under revision in 2018. I have several new projects underway, and I have put others on hold.
