ClassroomQ: A Better Way to Ask and Manage Questions - Nick's Picks For Educational Tec... - 2 views

  • Teachers see an ordered list of student requests along with any optional comments that students may have provided. Simply clicking on a student’s name removes them from the list. A Better Workflow ClassroomQ can play an important role in the workflow of the student-centered classroom. Students requesting help no longer have to sit with their hands up, doing nothing for extended periods of time. Teachers can give their full attention to the student(s) they are working with, knowing that other students have been acknowledged. ClassroomQ Accounts Free accounts are limited to a maximum of five students in the queue at one time (which should be plenty for most classrooms). Paid accounts ($19.99/yr.) are unlimited and also offer the ability to view who has checked in to a class along, and the option to download data from each class session.

    "The ease of use and simplicity of design are what really make ClassroomQ stand out. After creating an account, teachers can start a class session with one click. "Students join the session by going to classroomq.com/students, enter their teacher's name and class code. They can then ask for assistance and will be added to the teacher's queue with the push of a button. They can also see how many students are ahead of them at any time."ClassroomQ Assistance Button "Teachers see an ordered list of student requests along with any optional comments that students may have provided. Simply clicking on a student's name removes them from the list." Looks like a cool solution -- but wouldn't working in groups be a help? T/h to Nick LaFave

How To Cite Social Media: MLA & APA Formats | TeachBytes - 3 views

  •  
    "Well, it's official, you can now officially cite social media sources in MLA and APA formats. Although this might not seem like a big deal, it is an important step in acknowledging social media as an important source of information for scholarly work. Of course, it warrants a discussion with students about when to cite tweets. For example, citing a person's opinion in a paper is important, but citing a person's tweet as a factual basis for an argument doesn't hold up nearly as well!" You can copy, download, and share this information, which is laid out in a graphic.

Social Media Classroom - 7 views

  •  
    The Social Media Classroom (we'll call it SMC) includes a free and open-source (Drupal-based) web service that provides teachers and learners with an integrated set of social media that each course can use for its own purposes-integrated forum, blog, comment, wiki, chat, social bookmarking, RSS, microblogging, widgets , and video commenting are the first set of tools." This may be an appropriate replacement for Ning. Looks interesting and is designed especially with educators in mind.

Study Shows Students Are Addicted to Social Media | News | Communications of the ACM - 2 views

  •  
    An interesting article on student "addiction" to social media: ""The students did complain about how boring it was [to] go anywhere and do anything without being plugged into music on their MP3 players," says Moeller. "And many commented that it was almost impossible to avoid the TVs on in the background at all times in their friends' rooms. But what they spoke about in the strongest terms was how their lack of access to text messaging, phone calling, instant messaging, email and Facebook, meant that they couldn't connect with friends who lived close by, much less those far away." "Texting and IM-ing my friends gives me a constant feeling of comfort," wrote one student. "When I did not have those two luxuries, I felt quite alone and secluded from my life. Although I go to a school with thousands of students, the fact that I was not able to communicate with anyone via technology was almost unbearable." The student responses to the assignment showed not just that 18-21 year old college students are constantly texting and on Facebook-with calling and email distant seconds as ways of staying in touch, especially with friends-but that students' lives are wired together in such ways that opting out of that communication pattern would be tantamount to renouncing a social life."

George Siemens on Social Learning Networks: From Theory to Practice | Xyleme Voices - 0 views

  •  
    "In this podcast, George argues that traditional courses, where students rely on the educator to structure their learning experience, rob the learner of an enormous part of the learning experience. So, he makes the case for social learning networks and he explains how educational institutions and corporate enterprises can embrace social media & social networks as part of the big shift towards informal and on-demand learning.

Pathbrite - ePortfolio Maker - 5 views

  •  
    This is a tool recommended by a Webhead for creating an eportfolio. Sign up is free and there is a special section for educators. Like many new online tools, this may eventually become not-free bu in the meantime it looks like a good place to collect and display student work. Allows for all types of media and you can organize in a variety of ways. Media can be uploaded from your computer or from various social media you use. A little slow and clunky, but usable.

A Primer for EdTech: Tools for K-12 and Higher Ed. Teachers | Tools | HYBRID PEDAGOGY - 0 views

  •  
    "Every educator, from kindergarten to graduate school, should contribute to the important and significant work of teaching students to use online sources and social networks for educational and professional goals. To ignore the technology, or assume that our students already know it because they use it every day, is to participate in educational malpractice." A very sensible article about what main tools are used to move kids from social media to academic purposes -- and how to get them there. Speaks to PLNs, PLEs, Pinterest, curation with Diigo, Symbaloo, Netvibes, Twitter. Very good explanation of how the work, the advantages, and the possible problems. Hybrid Pedagogy is a Digital Journal with a team of editors and writers.

Learning Never Stops: Timelines - Learn, Collaborate, Discover History - 2 views

  •  
    "Timelines is a site where history meets social media. The website itself is very useful by categorizing key historical events in several ways. You can browse the site by era, type of event (ie; war), or by date. They have a neat page where you simply select a date and the events that occurred on that date appear. Almost everything you find on Timelines is created by their community and registered users can record events and contribute descriptions, photos, videos and links related to events. Unlike a wiki, the site is built to display various (and potentially conflicting) descriptions of the same event from many different contributors which is always important when trying to understand historical events. Timelines is a great site because it allows you to report and discover history with your friends, colleagues, and students." from Learning Never Stops Blog
