We’re All Richer – A #WhyDomain Post

Terry Greene @greeneterry on June 28, 2018

I’m late to the Interviewing Your Domain game that Cogdog asked us to play, but I have a good excuse. Gord Downie sums up why I feel it is so very worth it to have a domain of my own to share my thoughts and ideas about technology in pedagogy in the opening moments of The Tragically Hip’s live album “Live Between Us”. Listen to the first minute, then let the music play as you read if you want. “This […]

Who’s Driving This Playground?

Terry Greene @greeneterry on May 25, 2018May 25, 2018

As a Program Manager at eCampusOntario, the program I’ve been managing the most is the Ontario Extend faculty development/enrichment experience. It has been a delight. But something even more delightful (and screamy) is on its way to our house soon, so I will be going Extend silent for June to September as my family prepares to welcome our third daughter to the mix. What I have been doing in Extend is a lot of behind the scenes connecting and in […]

Does Helen get a Badge?

Terry Greene @greeneterry on May 18, 2018May 18, 2018

Yes. Yes of course she does. I sat down this morning to check on Helen’s Ontario Extend work to see if I could award her a badge. I have now completed checking her work in the Teacher for Learning module. There was never any doubt in my mind. Here was my process: Navigate through the Teacher for Learning module until I get to an “Extend Activity”. Click “Take it To the Bank”. Scroll through the responses. Has Helen submitted one? YUP!

The Cannonball Option

Terry Greene @greeneterry on May 15, 2018May 15, 2018

Hello Ontario Extend West! Today, I invite you to have a little think about what you’d like to do with your time in the Extend West cohort and maybe consider another piece we have to offer you as a member of the community. Let’s be clear, all of the settings pictured above are all completely unofficial. They are also all equally important. I think that a nice mix of levels of engagement are healthy for the community and you are […]

Chronicles of Sarnia and… Durango?

Terry Greene @greeneterry on May 10, 2018May 10, 2018

There is now a pretty strong neural connection in my brain between Sarnia, Ontario…and Durango, Colorado. This is not something I ever anticipated happening to my brain, but I am very happy about it. I was in Sarnia on Tuesday with a group of Ontario educators and we were getting outfitted to jump in to the Ontario Extend community. As it turns out, we needed a little help from Durango. Alan gives us a tour of The Daily Extend site, […]

Extending Time & Space

Terry Greene @greeneterry on April 30, 2018April 30, 2018

You can give an Ontario Extend Cohort a name (and even a watch), but you can’t make it obey the normal rules of time & space. Next week, we kick off The Ontario Extend West Cohort at Lambton College, and live online! (If you’d like to join in, pop your name in at bit.ly/ExtendWest) This cohort follows in the footsteps of the Ontario Extend West Cohort that kicked off in March. But what does “East” or “West” or “a set time […]

Might as Well Get Weird With It

Terry Greene @greeneterry on April 16, 2018

This past weekend saw Toronto host, for the second year in a row, the 2018 Creative Commons Global Summit. I attended last year as a participant but this year I wanted to do a little more by submitting a proposal to run a session about The Open Patchbooks. Rumour has it that my proposal arrived to CC as the very first submission. Fact has it that my session was accepted (YAY!) and slotted in as the very last presentation. Sunday evening […]

One Set of Infinity

Terry Greene @greeneterry on April 5, 2018April 5, 2018

This is a response to Loop It from the Ontario Extend Activity Bank: Highlight a topic or concept for _____________, math, literature, philosophy, etc., by creating one of those looping GIF things. I always thought that a great use of the under appreciated GIF could be to have them looping all over the place at a gym rather than diagrams of how to perform an exercise. I had to find the silliest exercise video I could to make examples. And that […]

Did I happen to mention I’m im#PRESSED18?

Terry Greene @greeneterry on March 29, 2018March 29, 2018

The PressEd Conference (still going as I’m putting this together) was today. It’s a conference on Twitter, about WordPress in education. No travel. No expenses. No fees. Maybe not even pants. THERE WAS SO MUCH COOL STUFF. Take the rest of the year off and sort through #pressedconf18. What better way to collect the stuff from my presentation than on WordPress (good suggestion, fellow #pressedconf18 presenter, Alan Levine!) Here’s my collection of tweets about Ontario Extend. Welcome to @ontarioextend, #PressEdConf18!Mike and […]

Walk, Don’t Run

Terry Greene @greeneterry on March 27, 2018May 11, 2018

There’s no rush. This week in the Ontario Extend East Cohort, we are kicking off the Collaborator Module. There’s a high chance that you haven’t finished any of the previous three, yet. And that is more than okay. This is open learning. The modules are there waiting for you to go back to them when you’re ready. One of the main influences to the way Ontario Extend was built and is delivered is something called ds106, a wonderful community/way of life. Its […]
