Comment on Deploying Hypothes.is on your WordPress Blog by Sara
Hey Hani,
Thanks for this how-to page! I hadn’t thought to incorporate Hypothes.is into my personal blog before, but your demonstration of how easy it is to do it inspired me to grab the plugin and set it up. Happy annotating!
Comment on Educational Outcomes and the Role of Networked Learning by glupton
Hani,
Thanks for your comment and for the detailed thought you put into it! I think I just look at it slightly differently. Without “hard skills” (those needed to engage in vocational work) students can’t do the work needed to obtain or keep a job. I agree that the “soft skills” you noted are critical to being a good citizen and thoughtful employee, but having a job is important too.
I was watching a video of a panel discussion on youth employment. One in six young people across the globe is unemployed. That’s a significant issue. Helping people learn the skills needed to obtain work is inherently valuable. I suppose my view of it is that we need both. Vocational training gets you in the door while the “soft skills” allow us to make the vocational work better for everyone.
Comment on The Scientific Community and Networked Learning by doctorchaos
Hi Sarah. When I become a full-fledged educator, I’d love to connect with other departments and colleges at the university and do collaborative research. Maybe create intra-class groups and have them work on projects together as opposed to the traditional “one class, one project” approach. For example, my primary field is functional foods science, so I’d have the students in that class group with a chemist, microbiologist, agriculturalist, toxicologist, and business & economic student to design and pitch a new food product. Incorporate all aspects into the design and marketing of the product. I think collaborative projects like that would not only enhance the learning experience, but also help build networking skills.

Comment on Networked Learning and Academic Citation by angelicaw
I also share the feeling of not having pedagogic experiences. The TED talk was great and led me to think about things I had not thought of. Often I feel I am not expert enough to post about certain topics but have learned though blogging, one doesn’t actually have to be an expert. Just sharing my thoughts and ideas helps.

Thank you, Arash for your comment. this can be another perk of blogging about your scientific research.

Thanks for your comment. Blogging about the research might help us to forget the previous steps.

Thanks Setareh for your comment! Right, practice makes perfect! The main point is to be consistent in blogging and focus on improving our writing skills regardless of the number of audience, particularly in the beginning.
Comment on Will I convert to blogging? by stephaniemgm
Angelica, thanks for your comment. I can see how blogging can be a form of stress relief, especially if all other writing you are doing is purely academic/being graded.
