College requirements: Notebooks, textbooks and iPads? | MLive.com - 0 views

  •  
    Mandatory: an iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad (I would argue a tablet in general). "It's getting to the point where there are a number of professions students are going into where knowing how to use technology is required." The article notes "many technology trends become mandatory over time. Today's college students are expected to participate in online forums, e-mail professors and submit papers electronically."

    "First off, where are the books? There are almost none left on the first floor. Thousands of volumes have been moved to the upper floors, along with the circulation desk. Some have been jettisoned."

Georgia Tech Invokes FERPA, Cripples School's Wikis - 0 views

  •  
    Does FERPA ban schools from allowing students to post their schoolwork on the open Web? Yesterday, Georgia Tech deleted all student history and participation from the school's "Swikis," the wikis that students use for their coursework. Georgia Tech has been using wikis for this purpose since 1997, pioneering the usage of the collaborative tools for undergraduate education. One of the features of the school's wikis was that they allowed for cross-course and cross-semester communication. You could, should you choose, remain in a wiki for a class you'd taken previously, for example.

Classroom Collaboration Using Social Bookmarking Service Diigo - 0 views

  •  
    Includes a comparison chart (Diigo, Delicious, Browser) and a high level overview of Diigo (including screenshots). According to Ruffini, Diigo "fosters research-sharing and collaboration in new ways. Not only can students bookmark, organize, and collaborate on various projects and research, but this service gives them - and teachers - the opportunity to organize and manage web resources and documents. Diigo has useful educational applications, as well, such as organizing bookmarks for resources and research, collaborative learning, and professional development."
