microblogging Twitter workplace learning

shared by John Evans on 24 Mar 10 - Cached
  • Twitter has become the number 1 tool for learning in just three years – voted by hundreds of learning professionals in this survey at Jane Hart’s site. Microblogging platforms are a great tool to keep you updated with latest trends & get real time support or answers to questions. You could even search for information on these tools themselves and get some good links to follow. As a personal learning tool, Twitter is great but it’s a public platform and what you share on it is available to everyone, some organizations may need tools which can be installed behind their firewalls (Laconica, Yonkly) or that is available as a secure private service (Yammer). All these tools have functionality that’s similar to Twitter. Organizations are using these tools for workplace learning and performance support. Here’s what for:

  • There's a simple reason for it: we rarely take the time to pause, breathe, and think about what's working and what's not. There's just too much to do and no time to reflect. I was once asked: if an organization could teach only one thing to its employees, what single thing would have the most impact? My answer was immediate and clear: teach people how to learn. How to look at their past behavior, figure out what worked, and repeat it while admitting honestly what didn't and change it.

  • how do I remove comments or delete them if the thread gets too long? The answer is that you can delete them, or you can ‘resolve’ a discussion that would collapse the thread and archive it -- if for any reason it needs to be retrieved later.

  • “How is the Kashmir conflict more than just a religious battle?”Instead of raising their hands to respond, the students quietly began typing their answers into their smartphones, laptops and tablet computers arrayed on their desks. Almost immediately, their words appeared on an interactive whiteboard at the front of the class.

  • What probably won't be on that list is to make a mistake -- in fact many. But it should be.
  • if we believe that the process of learning -- which inevitably must include the process of erring -- is just as, or more, important than getting to the correct answer.

  • And even with the most modern device in hand, students still need the basics of a solid curriculum and skilled teachers. “There’s a saying that the music is not in the piano and, in the same way, the learning is not in the device,’’ said Mark Warschauer, an education and informatics professor at the University of California-Irvine whose specialties include research on the intersection of technology and education.
  • “I think one of the real key questions that will be answered over the next several years is what sort of things work best in print for students and what sort of things work best digitally,’’ Diskey said. “I think we’re on the cusp of a whole new area of research and comprehension about what digital learning means.’’

  • The students were thinking about who would be likely to help them complete their questions, which ultimately helped them identify their own Personal Learning Networks.  Which is helpful for them establishing who they could contact for help in the future.
  • The students were able to use SMS to collectively gather responses from a wide range of people from outside the school community. As a result the broad range of views enabled a more diverse range of discussions to take place
  • The follow up discussion was much more richer than what had taken place in the past as I believe each of them was able to bring some sort of vested interest into the conversation
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The engagement levels of the student group were through the roof.
  • How else could  we be able to gather 50+ responses within the course of an hour that represented the views of the general public.
  • As answers started rolling in, they were sharing their responses with each other, comparing them and taking notice of the similarities and differences among the responses. This lead to a great level of discussion about the concepts the activity was hoping to cover.
  • At the moment we are learning about the different values people demonstrate towards nature. So with this in mind I got the students to choose 3 people who they could SMS who would be likely to respond quickly within our scheduled classtime. They then had 3 questions they needed to include in their SMS with only one question asked per person.

  • Walk-throughs for School Leaders
  • A Literacy with ICT walk-through is a short (4 to 6 minute) informal classroom/lab/library observation by the school leader.
  • The walk-through is followed closely by informal conversation between the school leader and the teacher, to facilitate teacher reflection about how to maximize student literacy with ICT.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Similarly, school leaders and teachers need to decide about the nature of the feedback, keeping in mind that the purpose of the walk-through is to promote reflective dialogue about promising teaching and learning practices related to student literacy with ICT.
  • Each school staff can modify their own walk-through procedures and develop a set of questions that school leaders could consider during their visits. The questions should be worded to encourage teacher reflection about their practice rather than to elicit a specific answer for the school leader.
  • Walk-through Blank Form
  • Part 2: Our Conversation
  • Part 3: My Reflections
  • Part 1: My Walk-through
  • It involves observing student engagement, teaching practices, and learning environment intended to develop student literacy with ICT in the context of curricular outcomes.
  • Walkthroughs are not teacher-evaluation sessions and should avoid evaluative comments.

  • It's a great question and one that I've had to answer as an assistant superintendent for instruction.
  • I used to believe that "Content is King" and prided myself in trying to get as much material covered as possible. Now I realize that content is ubiquitous, what we do with it is much more important.
