I learned about this because a friend of mine from graduate school, Julie Anderson, teaches at a school that uses Harkness tables, and she was in a video about that; it's from an Edutopia profile of the school: Collaborative Learning Leads to Student Success. Julie starts talking about the meaning of the Harkness table around 3:50 into the video:
Here's what one of the charts that shows the interactions around the table. It's a "discussion tracker," and there is more information about that here: Collaborative Learning Resources. One of the students has the task of making the map as their contribution to the discussion:
Hi, first sociograms were created manually... Harkness tables=sociograms The difference is the scope of new sociograms. They use big data and sometimes in a simple sociogram, there can be thousands of nodes and ties... thanks for the share...
ReplyDeleteYes, exactly! I liked finding this connection from IRL to digital. You have inspired me to learn more about SNA. It's something important for my classes and maybe I can find a way to parse the data I get from the RSS feeds to learn more!
