Prezi - Virtual Community/Social Media Course - 1 views

  • stacey lazarus
     
    I created this for someone to use as an online course and to show off Prezi. Rec'd comments (from non-technical people) that if someone doesn't know how to use computers or Prezi, it is confusing. I will be labeling the "steps" in the course in a few days. After clicking, use the controls buttons o nthe bottom right. Some links need to be fixed. If you can't find it, go to the left tab "Showcase" and then go to the right search and enter "Social Network System. Would love comments.

Kids Create -- and Critique on -- Social Networks | Edutopia - 0 views

  • "With Web 2.0, there's a strong impetus to make connections," says University of Minnesota researcher Christine Greenhow, who studies how people learn and teach with social networking. "It's not just creating content. It's creating content to share."
  • And once they share their creations, kids can access one of the richest parts of this learning cycle: the exchange that follows. "While the ability to publish and to share is powerful in and of itself, most of the learning occurs in the connections and conversation that occur after we publish," argues education blogger Will Richardson (a member of The George Lucas Educational Foundation's National Advisory Council).
  • In this online exchange, students can learn from their peers and simultaneously practice important soft skills -- namely, how to accept feedback and to usefully critique others" work.

  • Using tools such as the social-network-creation site Ning, teachers can easily develop their own networks, Mosea says. "It is better to create your own," he argues. "If a teacher creates his or her own network, students will post as if their teacher is watching them, and they'll tend to be more safe.



    "You can build social networks around the curriculum," Mosea adds, "so you can use them as a teaching resource or another tool." An online social network is another tool -- but it's a tool with an advantage: It wasn't just imposed by teachers; the students have chosen it.

    Self-Directed Learning

    "When students are motivated to create work that they share online, it ignites an independent learning cycle driven by their ideas and energized by responses from peers."

  • Professors are beginning to use Twitter at academic conferences to share proceedings with absent colleagues and to create an online “backchannel” for attendees, but the tool can also be distracting and detract from face-to-face communication at events.
