Concept Paper Regarding this Project
I have created this concept paper about the project for another course. Since it pertains, I thought it would be helpful to include it on this blog! Please know that it is still a work in progress and revisions are certainly forthcoming.
The hope of this project is to create a collaborative learning experience for young adults that taps into Nel Noddings' "Circles of Caring." Noddings argues that these circles (self, family/friends, strangers, Earth/animals, inanimate objects like tools, and ideas) represent a way for youth to know themselves, the world around them and become engaged citizens of the world. This blog will be an experiment on how to integrate Noddings' six "circles" of care with a digital curriculum. We will tie digital collaborative tools to each circle to help students express themselves and ultimately come to formulate ideas about the world around them. A group of graduate students will chart the curriculum by experimenting with tools that correspond to each circle.
