PE__5 Sixent
Sixent has so many layers and possibilities and it is almost overwhelming. It is kind of like Facebook on Steroids. Anyhow, I have begun to work on my tutorial and as I work I am discovering new things on this site as I go. It seems they have been developing this platform for the last three years and just now released it. As you can see in the screenshot above I have made different pages for different groups of people impacted by the Vietnam War, and I am not finished with those yet either.
What I learned through this process is that you can have more than just a page ........you can have a page within a page and several pages, each person can have their own page. Consequently, it is not "just" a page. The page contains the resources to add photos, link's, bookmark's, files, and even a BLOG......that's right! As Well the other users in the Forum can comment on all your entries. You have the option to let others see that post or not.

Just released this past October and a product of our Northern neighbor Canada, SIXENT Is not just another social networking Platform like Facebook or twitter. SIXENT is really layer out to please the user, allowing for the expression and contribution of individuals and groups. I am using this web 2.0 platform to compile information, pictures, stories, film, and collaboration for use in a Museum project. I have developed a Forum for the sharing of this information. The museum is The National Vietnam War Museum being built in Mineral Wells Texas. So far I have 5 members, and quite a bit of content loaded onto the Sixent site. I have a lot of privacy settings on the site, so I am not sure if you can view it, but here it is Vietnam War Forum you are welcome to join if this interests you. So I am continuing to lay out the PODS for custom pages of content, like stories of the Children of Vietnam Veterans for example.
Yesterday I added a video which was kind of challenging. I ended up using the .mov platform as I think this can be viewed on either MACS or P.C.'s but I am not sure really and need to look into that Further. The upload was a success though. WHat is really great about this site is the option to add pods for different parts of the Forum. It really makes it easier for the users to collaborate and create the type of content I am looking for. I am thinking that when the Museum is built it should have a computer where people can join this group and add their content to the Forum. My next challenge will be writing an elaborate Tutorial for my computer challenged users.
In the meantime, I have two administrator accounts and three moderators to help control the content of the Forum. I am like a busy little bee building what I like too a clubhouse of sharing pieces of our heart.

While selecting the WEB2.0 Platforms, I always search for the Free ones, this one is Absolutely Free, which gives me more confidence in their impetus for education and sharing knowledge. It is also really cool looking, so I felt drawn in by the Yacapaca Icon. What does it mean...Yacapaca... what language... http://www.urbandictionary.com/products.php?term=yacapaca&defid=1660827 or look at http://www.definition-of.net/yacapaca And there it is , AZTEC (very cosmic considering the iMovie pieces I just posted on the Blog!) I think I like this better then Twiducate for so many reasons. As you will see in the next screenshot, there are several educational categories and each one has a certain number of entries to date. It really is exciting to see that http://yacapaca.com allows the Teacher access to work uploaded from other Teachers curriculum.
I particularly like the fact that you can share even beyond http://yacapaca.com to enhance the saturation of the learning experiences expression. I have decide that this will be my Web 2.0 Platform for my RILS Project. It seems that this type of educational platform really enhances the options for shared knowledge with no Borders. Since I have had the opportunity to travel a lot, this seems to be a bridge over the troubled waters of education. I am looking forward to the day they add SKYPE and initiate Global Debate Teams.
http://yacapaca.com offers curriculum from all over the World. It seems like the United Kingdom is really resourcing it's capabilities and free educational Platform. While moving through some of their Resources, it seems they have a user rated quality control built in to the varying tests, papers etc.
This website could do no wrong in my book. It allows the Teacher to plan coursework for their students, online or offline while creating an educational community that shares in their love of learning.
Go On and Yaca Paca at http://yacapaca.com

Well good Morning, good Evening, the sun will be Rising soon. I have found myself perplexed in the uploading of the Video, so finally I managed to Publish one on a private youtube station. You can access the video with the link above. Right now I am uploading my long format video with the original indigenous music that should accompany the Aztec Performance. I know I will have to watch some of the iMovie tutorials offered through LYNDA again, still for now at least I know how to play with the program.
The iMovie program itself is very user friendly, even adapting itself to the varying users set standards. I find the different effects to be really great, and since I was used to using effects directly when I filmed, this makes everything a lot more friendly for the user and allows for many variations for the overall effect of the completed video. Of course this project has forced me to set up another youtube account specifically oriented to these class projects. This is actually a good lesson since I have never uploaded video to youtube before tonight, this morning, or whatever time qualifies.

Finally, the other link is available. This makes me think of how lucky kids in High school are to be able to have this medium to express their creativity. Wow, what I would have given to have this medium available to be back in the 1920's......okay I am joking about the year, still WOW.
iMovie, you have beat me today, tonight, this morning, or whatever time it is. I Will Be Back.

CS1 ADDIE
Did you know A.D.D.I.E. was first designed for the U.S. Army? "ADDIE first appeared in 1975. It was created by the Center for Educational Technology at Florida State University for the U.S. Army and then quickly adapted by all the U.S. Armed Forces. "(Branson, Rayner, Cox, Furman, King, Hannum, 1975; Watson, 1981). The link below shows the history of the popular education format as it has grown through time to be implemented in schools and for business platforms. "The five phases of ISD are analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation and control. The first four are sequential in nature, but the evaluation and control phase is a continuous process that is conducted in conjunction with all of the others." http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/history_isd/addie.htmlSo, is using something designed for the Military what we want our education to be? Or is it better put to practice within business models?
 | |||
| http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/hrd/ahold/isd.html |
It seems the thinking behind the above Military ISD-ADDIE format actually does make sense in the motivation of the student for learning. This type of Instructional Design seems to take the formula of ADDIE to another level by challenging the user to insure that what the student is learning is absorbed and can be put into practice.
Looking at A.D.D.I.E. when used from a business point of view instead of strictly for school we find the following article on http://www.scribd.com. This Format actually would work for a small or large business, a unit within a business, and a non-profit would especially learn from this article.http://www.scribd.com/doc/11605511/The-ADDIE-Instructional-Design-Model
Designed by Florence Beraud January 2009
It is interesting that an educational model can be so important in implementing business strategy, group moral, and overall evaluation of what works and what doesn't in business matters.

We've blended a discussion of the theory with the experience of our training specialists." http://www.intulogy.com/addie/workplace.html
