Final Send Off
Thank you so much everyone for coming today to our final class.
Thank to you the CSL students who bravely gave wonderful presentations (using Prezzie!) about their placements. They all taught us a lot about not-for-profits organizations and what goes on at the University and in the local area.
Thank you also to the three students, Kelsey, Annalise and Julianna, who created a visual and musical wrap-up of the term using social media! Amazing work!

Lecture 35: Final Day of Classes
Hi everyone!
And here we are, on the very last day of ALES204 - I know you'll miss it! :)
REMINDER: Your E-portfolio is due today by 17:00. Please send the link to your blog to your TA. And, don't forget to include the links to your FIVE comments in your final blog post.
I'd like to thank you all for coming to class and participating both in class and through the class blog, your blogs and twitter. I'd also like to wish you all a lovely festive season. On that note, here is a video from 16 year old Winnipeg student Sean Quigley, who harnessed social media (youtube) and is now famous: a Canadian wintery rendition of The Little Drummer Boy.
On our last day, as mentioned, we will have the exciting Pecha Kucha presentations for the CSL students. They are going to share with us a little bit about what they've been working on this term. Perhaps you'll be so interested, you'll want to enroll in CSL in another term.
After the Pecha Kucha presentations I would like you all to take about 10 minutes to answer a survey I've created. I'm very interested to hear your thoughts on the course, what you learnt and perhaps what you would still like to learn. I'll use this information in my next course design! I appreciate your input and your participation.
You can fill in the form right here (scroll down a bit) or access the google doc (but of course!) here. Note, feel free to work with a partner.
And finally, we'll conclude our class with a special send-off from three of your classmates, Kelsey MacDonald, Julianna Damer and Annalise Young.

Lecture 34: Futurecasting
Wow, it is that time of year already - two classes left in the entire term and today will be the final lecture!
As you know, Wed. we have some fun lined up for us consisting of the sure-to-be informative pecha kucha presentations from our CSL students and a special sum-up from Kelsey MacDonald, Julianna Damer and Annalise Young.
Here is my own little summary of this term's Ales204 class. I used storify (mentioned in the lecture) to curate some photos, tweets, audioboos and more that were published on the web with our course tag: #ALES204. Enjoy and feel free to comment on the stories themselves (a new feature storify recently added).
Take a look at this prediction for the Future of Science from the Institute for the Future:

Invisibility cloaks. The search for extraterrestrial intelligence. A Facebook for genes. These were just a few of the startling topics IFTF explored at our recent Technology Horizons Program conference on the "Future of Science." More than a dozen scientists from UC Berkeley, Stanford, UC Santa Cruz, Scripps Research Institute, SETI, and private industry shared their edgiest research driving transformations in science. MythBusters' Adam Savage weighed in on the future of science education. All of their presentations were signals supporting IFTF's new "Future of Science" forecast, laid out in a new map titled "A Multiverse of Exploration: The Future of Science 2021." The map focuses on six big stories of science that will play out over the next decade: Decrypting the Brain, Hacking Space, Massively Multiplayer Data, Sea the Future, Strange Matter, and Engineered Evolution. Those stories are emerging from a new ecology of science shifting toward openness, collaboration, reuse, and increased citizen engagement in

We are delighted to share the map with you, under a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution. We hope you enjoy it and find it provocative. Think of "A Multiverse of Exploration: The Future of Science 2021" as a star chart of possibility, pointing the way toward opportunities for wonder, knowledge, and insight. Use it to raise questions about how your life and work may change in light of the startling transformations that science may bring about in the next ten years. Indeed, every forecast could be rephrased as a "what if" question. What if you could record your dreams? What if you could design a life form? What if you could launch a company in orbit? Your answers to those questions can help inform decisions in the present. Inside this map, you'll find plenty of space to think.
