EduDemic » Twitter Launches Official Guide To Tweeting [VIDEOS] - 0 views

  • While we were glad to write up a handy guide to Twitter for teachers, the microblogging service has just rolled out an array of How To videos for their service. The recently launched Twitter Help Center now features a number of videos to answer questions such as “What is Retweet?” “What is Following?” “What is a Timeline?” and “How to Find People and Be Found“. Twitter has also set up a YouTube account for these videos.

Integrating ICT into the MFL classroom:: Creating Your PLN Using Twitter - 0 views

  • presentation about how Twitter and wikis can be used by teachers to create their own personal learning network
  • To help teachers in this process, Gina has set up a wiki Twitter4Teachers which contains pages of useful contacts divided up according to subject and area of interest.
  • I suggest you use Twitter Search to create RSS feeds for all those people who you are particularly interested in (your core group)and then subscribe to them in Google Reader so you can read their messages all in one place when you have the time. To do this, go to Twitter Search and put in the username of someone you want to follow then click on Search to generate the latest results. Click on the link Feed for this query on the right hand side of the page and copy the feed in the address bar which should look like the example below with the name of the person you want to track replaced by the word username: http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?lang=en&q=username
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • In Google Reader, click the Add a subscription button and paste in the feed. Click Add and wait until the messages load. When you've finished scanning the tweets, click the Mark all as read button and you're done. Now whenever a new tweet is sent or someone replies to the person you are tracking, you will see all their messages appear in bold in your reader like in your email client. To help you manage your subscriptions, you can create different folders and assign all your Twitter feeds to the same one. Easy.

Why does information flow in networks? « Connectivism - 1 views

  • how information flows through a network
  • our position in a network, and the overlap with other networks, influences the type of information and people that we can acces
  • While networks have always been the backbone structure of society and knowledge,
  • the experience of being part of a network was not fully conscious or even explicit
  • What mattered was who you knew and your role in society
  • overlooks an important question
  • Even the act of connection forming requires explicit activity from a person : “Follow X” or “Accept friend request from X”
  • The online formation of networks is more directive than the offline experienc
  • the connection seems more real, more intentional
  • The daily reality of being connected naturally raises questions about influence of an individual within a network and how information flows within that system
  • Klout analyzes influence
  • The prevalence of social network tools and the attention now devoted to analyzing the shape and attributes of those networks – and the evaluation of how information flows
  • Today, in contrast, our networks are explicit in tools like Facebook, Twitter, email, and LinkedIn.
  • Why? Why does information flow as it does? Why does a person decide to share information with her network?
  • Networks can be analyzed quantitatively to determine
  • I’m interested in the qualitative aspects of information flow
  • Why did you decide to post on your friend’s Facebook wall? Why did you decide to retweet a resource? Why did members of your network decide to retweet your comment?
  • What are the qualitative aspects of information objects that determine its likelihood of being shared or amplified within a network?
  • three elements
  • involved in addressing the question of
  • “why does information flow” in a network
  • 1. The individual.
  • how did the person get to have many followers?
  • He has 12000 followers.
  • Let’s look at someone like Alec Couros on Twitter.
  • He has posted over 55000 tweets (wow!).
  • qualitatively, how does Alec differ from others in his activities on Twitter?
  • because he posts more often?
  • Because he is talented at engaging with individuals?
  • because he replies to more of his followers
  • Does he participate in more network sub-clusters
  • Maybe he’s just a nicer person
  • Clearly, the activities of an individual plays a role in why information flows…
  • Context also influences why information spreads
  • 2. The Context.
  • 3. The Message.
  • This is really the heart of what I’m trying to understand.
  • What are the qualitative attributes of a message that influence why it is shared
  • Two attributes
  • -Relevance
  • a tweet about something happening today is more valuable than
  • -Resonance
  • this is a complex/fuzzy concept
  • When someone posts a link or comment on Twitter, and it resonates with me
  • fears, interests, beliefs
  • the prospect of retweeting is increased.
  • simple coding scheme of what types of messages people post on Twitter:
  • a) to express agreement b) to express outrage c) humour d) social grooming
  • e) self-promote f) raise awareness
  • what would you add?
  • If we have a coding scheme, we can randomly analyze the posting habits of people on Twitter
  • No doubt, the coding process would be better if it was automated
  • sentiment analysis is a big area of focus for social media firms
  • Not only are media firms interested in who is talking about GM or BP, but what are the emotions behind posts on Twitter/FB?
  • Educators are paying attention to social media.
  • Getting at the qualitative aspects of why information flows through networks is a more lucrative direction to consider in transitioning social media use for self and network awareness.

Social Networking: A Platform for Training New Managers Online? by Bill Brandon : Learn... - 0 views

  • Why consider a social network for manager training?
    • Enrique Rubio Royo
       
      también puede preguntarse...¿por qué considerar una red social para formación de formadores?, ¿no?
  • These are the workers who will be your new supervisors and managers
  • workers in their 20s and 30s expect to be able to use the latest IT applications in their workplace. They are used to social networking online, and to online learning, often preferring these to classroom instruction
  • ...27 more annotations...
  • In addition, this also will encourage open communication between companies, employers, HR departments, owners, and managers.” 
  • Without appropriate technology tools and resources available in their work environment, they may look for help from non-work related services such as Facebook.com. Integrating social media into the development environment eliminates this potential challenge and at the same time increases the potential for success of the development effort and of the new managers. 
  • Can social networking provide a practical way to help prepare new managers for their duties? Considering the rapid growth of social networking adoption among younger workers, this is a question well worth asking
    • Enrique Rubio Royo
       
      Frente a la formación tradicional en las ORGs (planteamiento de formación en aula exclusivamente), se propone el Aprendizaje informal online.
  • Creating a curriculum for training new managers and supervisors is a common task that falls to instructional designers
    • Enrique Rubio Royo
       
      A lo largo de todo el artículo, estableceremos la aplicación de lo que se dice tanto a 'managers' (artículo en si mismo, y que es también nuestro interés en ORG 2.0) como a formadores, profesores (que es nuestro interés en Aula 2.0)
  • The typical approach for many decades has consisted of a combination of classroom events, each lasting from one to five days (or more). This default design has many problems, including travel expense and time away from the job for the managers. Not infrequently, there are severe mismatches between what is taught and the actual practices supported by the organization’s culture.
  • There is an increasing number of companies and online service providers who are convinced that social networking can help overcome at least some of the issues common to the classroom-only approach
    • Enrique Rubio Royo
       
      Frente a los problemas y dificultades asociados al planteamiento tradicional de 'solo Aula', estamos convencidos de la bondad de la interacción social online. Combinando formación formal de Aula y referencias online y apoyo al rendimiento, junto con 'coaching', 'mentoring' y aprendizaje informal online a través de redes sociales (social networking), un joven profesor o directivo puede alcanzar una sólida formación teórica, ayuda 'justín´time', y adecuadas aplicaciones.
  • By combining formal classroom instruction and online reference and performance support with online coaching, mentoring, and informal learning through social networking, a new manager can gain a solid theory foundation, just-in-time help, and culturally correct application pointers.
  • Informal learning, as an object of attention by researchers, is not a new topic. However, it only appeared on the radar screens of instructional designers less than ten years ago. The emergence of online social media has led to the notion of somehow tapping into the potential of this channel, that carries so much of the real learning that goes on in organizations.
  • In our current age, we have plenty of channels in which informal learning can take place: everything from microblogs (Twitter), to communities (LinkedIn Groups, discussion forums), to user-created content (wikis, Weblogs, YouTube), to social bookmarking (Delicious), and surely more to come.
  • But we also have plenty of examples of attempts at use of these channels in which the attempts failed. The virtual landscape is littered with the remains of abandoned wikis, content-less and comment-less Weblogs, and LinkedIn Groups where the spam has driven out the discussion and all but eliminated any possibility of learning.
  • Existing informal learning groups online include a surprising variety of formats
  • Jay Cross’ Internet Time Community,
  • Participants in the Twitter #lrnchat sessions also comprise an ongoing informal learning group
  • if informal learning is going to take place online, it must be self-sustaining
  • Focus
  • Focus
  • Payoff
  • here are the factors that seem to drive participation and commitment by members.
  • What makes informal learning online work?
  • Focus
  • Dialogue
  • Leadership
  • Membership
  • Process
  • If a group lacks focus, or focus is too narrow, if the group’s process is too complicated, if there are not enough members, and if there are no rewards for participation, the group will fail. Informal groups are a lot of work to establish and maintain, and the work falls equally on all members.
  • Setting up a social network for manager training
  • The first task is to establish a design for the social interaction. This must come before technology selection, so that the limitations of the technology do not drive or constrain the interaction.

Ramblings of a Professional Learning Community: How's Your PLN? - 0 views

  • It would be great for educators to receive credit and recognition for the countless hours spent reading, listening, and implementing what other educators and experts have to say about Pedagogy, Technology, Science Education, and 21st Century Teaching.
  • So exactly what does my Personal Learning Network (PLN) look like? Here’s a sample of how I spend the first half hour of every morning learning before I go to work:Check my email.Check in with Twitter and Classroom 2.0 to see what people are saying, blogging, what websites are being referenced, or what webinars may be available later in the day.Visit interesting bookmarks shared through the Diigo groups I belong.I’ll check into Facebook to see what friends and relatives, some personal some professional, are up to this day.I’ll check my school and student email. (Students use a unique email to access me.)I’ll check my blog to see if I need to respond to anyone or perhaps I’ll add a new post.I’ll review the new posts of the many blogs I follow.Whatever new comes my way that day, I’ll click and check it out.All this before I even leave the house. Of course, I follow up at work when and where I am able. My expanded PLN is fairly new. I can’t imagine what this list will look like in a few months.If you're interested in developing your own PLN, check out this blog page by Lisa Nielsen, author of The Innovator Educator.
