connected twitter social media technology

  • a connected educator is one who uses technology and social media to personalize learning for both personal and professional growth.
  • The big picture in being a connected educator is the idea that you as the educator are first connected to the general flow of information, and then secondly, focused on specific connections to drill down to the detailed needs specific to you, or your students’ needs.
  • Approving or disapproving of the application is like approving or disapproving of a hammer or screwdriver

  • Convince a colleague to connect and we all benefit.

      This is a great resource for introductory-level books as students use them for a few weeks and wouldn't have any need/use for them after that.
  • He also says the rental site has all of the newest editions of the textbooks with supplemental materials

      An added advantage to buying used books from Amazon and similar sites as they can be older editions or missing CDs or DVDs.

  • viewers click around a large "mind-map," which can feature text, images, and videos,
  • equates Prezi to an "infinite whiteboard" wherein the audience can see an overview of a topic, or zoom in to see the relations between topics.

      Since this tool would be available to numerous students, it would be very helpful that a wide array of related topics are mapped out so that each student focuses on what's most relevant to their interests/needs.
  • Shereen Elgamal on 27 Jul 15
     
    Prezi is a good resource for students to look at a wide array of related topics and choose the angle that best suits their research or class direction. Gradeguru and Notehall are mainly about student exchange of helpful notes and study materials. Dropbox is mainly a storage tool that also allows sharing and exching files. Chegg is a book rental tool.

    At this point I have so many accounts on so many sites that I feel like I need to do some spring cleaning. Even added Google+ a few weeks back to see what all the buzz was about.

College 2.0: Academics and Colleges Split Their Personalities for Social Media - Techno... - 1 views

shared by Roxana Sandu on 18 Jul 11 - No Cached
  • Many professors and higher-education leaders are struggling to strike a balance between their personal and professional lives when using online social media, a realm that encourages widespread sharing of thoughts and opinions. Often that means creating multiple accounts, one for each of the hats they wear. Some professors use Facebook with friends and family, reserving Twitter for professional observations, or vice versa.
  • There may be a benefit to that kind of sharing. Ms. Johnson recently conducted a survey of 120 students at the college about what they thought of a series of Twitter feeds run by professors. The majority of students found the professors who mixed in personal details with their down-to-business tweets more credible—rating them higher on measures of competence, trustworthiness, and caring. Her theory: Students want to end the semester with a connection to their professors, not just a head full of facts.

    An article about how some of the academics manage both personal and professional accounts on Twitter, FB etc.

    Ms. Johnson's survey findings has made me think on my own personal rule of keeping school and personal separate in cyberspace. Question still remains is: at what age is it appropriate for teachers to mix school and personal...middle school, high school, college?

  • “Schools are scared about this stuff,” said Elliot Soloway, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor at the University of Michigan. “Whatever they do, [schools fear that] parents will be upset, money will be inappropriately spent, they will draw the ire of the public. They're scared of all of this, so there is an extra layer of conservatism to protect the kids. But we can’t let it paralyze us from taking steps into the new.”

      I definitely think my collaboration with teachers as an ESL teacher will be key to getting more technology involved in the classroom.

    Yes, I agree, we can't just immediately dismiss social media in the classroom because of safety issues. We have to learn ways to work with them.

      There are always good themes but we need to figure out how to make them focused, comprehensible and doable. That is the key.
  • Lots of comprehensible input there! They learned about new genres. Some said they added music that we learned about in class to their playlists. Love that!

      Comprehensible and compelling input. Plus, added Spanish music to their audio files. The best language learners are the ones who listen to music and watch videos.

      Seeing how she described the cultural aspects of the unit really brought into focus what she was trying to accomplish. From here she will be able to set up tasks and activities that meet these goals.
  • Now the major communication goals:

      I like how these three areas help define what the students will be able to do.
  • For example, for the last presentational goal where they tell what happened, they only used a few verbs (won, nominated, said) as memorized chunks. Intermediate students were able to give more details and it sounded like a true narration of events with transitions.

      I love this! each level can accomplish the goal by sheltering or minimizing the vocab.
  • And the remaining 3 C’s:

    Yikes! I thought 50 ideas was a lot. Nice that the author included some sites that help to organize the tweets. One tool I would add to the list http://wiffiti.com/. You can set up a wall to accept a hash tag that, when used in a tweet, will display almost immediately on the wall. Excellent way to display student comment via a projector.

    So many ways to use technology in the classroom! We can be creative and motivate our students to be creative as well.
