Instant Screen Sharing | Screenleap - 70 views

Free screen sharing from any device, including smart phones and tablets. Hmm ... does this replace reflections or Apple TV in presentations? -
I like this one but could someone comment on how their experiences was when using it, and what did they use it for. This would be helpful. -
Mary Vaughn writes: Want to share and collaborate across the classroom? How about across the state or further? http://www.screenleap.com/ is the perfect tool to do that. Easy to use, all you have to do is download the java applet and you're ready to share your screen with anyone at anytime. This works in tandem with apple devices or any device that has internet connection. Unfortunately, right now it's a one-way deal - you'll have to use a pc or mac to share. It gives a simple code or website you can share with others to see your screen. There's a little lagtime but not terribly so. So, if you have teachers who have data projectors going on the fritz, want to do a PLC with other colleagues, or whatever collaboration you're working with, this could be the perfect tool. Hint: use the tabs to open up different websites - you have to keep the original screenleap up and running.

Online media use in Australia 2007- 2011 | Australian Policy Online - 15 views

An interesting report with the most interesting data being that "100% of students are online in 2011". While the survey data is apparently representative of the Australian population, I would argue that this figure is not the case and that deeper research needs to be undertaken before these figures can be used as a foundation for embedding technology and internet into education. However, it does show the increasing rate of uptake of online activities within Australia and the trends for access information.

Sharing student work on a course blog is an example of what Randall Bass and Heidi Elmendorf, of Georgetown University, call "social pedagogies." They define these as "design approaches for teaching and learning that engage students with what we might call an 'authentic audience' (other than the teacher), where the representation of knowledge for an audience is absolutely central to the construction of knowledge in a course."
-
Very important - social pedagogies for authentic tasks - a key for integrating SNTs in the classroom.

Agreed, for connectivism see also www.connectivism.ca

External audiences certainly motivate students to do their best work. But students can also serve as their own authentic audience when asked to create meaningful work to share with one another.
-
The last sentence is especially important in institutional contexts where the staff voices their distrust against "open scholarship" (Weller 2011), web 2.0 and/or open education. Where "privacy" is deemed the most important thing in dealing with new technologies, advocates of an external audience have to be prepared for certain questions.

Students most likely won't find this difficult. After all, you're asking them to surf the Web and tag pages they like. That's something they do via Facebook every day. By having them share course-related content with their peers in the class, however, you'll tap into their desires to be part of your course's learning community. And you might be surprised by the resources they find and share.

A great blog post on social pedagogies and how they can be incorporated in university/college classes. A good understanding of creating authentic learning experiences through social media.
