An iPhone Compass Designed to Let You Stumble Into Adventures - 0 views

  •  
    Instead of a compass telling you exactly which direction to go, it acts as a facilitator, allowing you to work out your own route - and discover new things along the way. This can serve as a metaphor for our 21st-century style of facilitated and directed e-learning. How can we use and even reverse the default affordances of a mobile phone to enhance exploratory and creative learning? Based on the above reflection, here's one random idea for stimulating creative learning using mobile apps: - Language: As you walk along a path, the phone automatically generates a "cloud" of words extracted from geolocated tweets associated with the location that you are currently on, and invites you to contribute your own tweets about your own location.

A Teacher's Guide to Twitter | Once a Teacher…. - 0 views

  • You’ll hear people talking about the Twitter “stream”.  This is derived from a beautiful metaphor in which the tweets people send out can be considered drops of water in a stream.  You’re standing on the bank, enjoying the stream as it passes, but you can’t worry about enjoyoing every drop of water that’s there. 
  • If you start a tweet with @(username), this will automatically land in that person’s “@replies” folder.  You’ll notice that if you reply to something someone said, your message will automatically start with this “address”. 
  • If you want to share what someone else tweeted, it is only polite to give them credit by including “RT @(username)” somewhere in your message.

How Not to Steal People's Content on the Web - 0 views

  • How to Cite Content in Social Media When you're sharing someone else's content in social media, the approach you take to give proper credit changes depending on the social network.
  • To Cite Someone's Content on Twitter: Simply include a "via @username" somewhere in the tweet. If you're retweeting someone's content but you edit their original tweet, be sure to change "RT" to "MT," which stands for "modified tweet."
  • To Cite Someone's Content on Facebook: Facebook makes it pretty easy to give credit when you're sharing someone else's content right from their own timeline -- they have a 'Share' button ready and waiting for you! If you're citing content from elsewhere on the web, but want to give attribution to another person or company -- like we did to Marketing Land below for breaking a news story -- you can find that person/company on Facebook and link to their Facebook Timeline in the status update.

  • Finally, if you're sharing content from another source and they don't have a Facebook page (tsk tsk!), then the link to their piece of content will suffice.
  • To Cite Someone's Content on Google+: On Google+, it's customary to include the name of the person or company whose content you're citing in the text of your update, because you can then link to their Google+ profile, much like you would do on Facebook. Simply include a + or @ and their Google+ name -- they'll pre-populate just like they do on Facebook!

Is Social Media Killing Privacy? | Joerg Weishaupt - 0 views

Push Me, Pull Me: Push-Pull in Social Media - 0 views

  • Pull Strategy
  • Push-Pull in Social Media
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Twitter is the prime example of where both strategies can exist, hand in hand. Many of the brands you follow are using both a push and pull strategy to engage their followers and also reach a small targeted group of people at the same time.
  • strong pull strategy here because they’re making use of the hashtags #sears and #tools, which is targeting those who may be following that hashtag as well as tweeting out a link to the tool itself with promotional copy
  • Facebook advertising is a push strategy.
  • Facebook apps are a pull strategy.  You’re generating interest in users when you put out a Facebook app. You’re putting something out there, and users will interact and provide data to you because they’re interested and want to.
  • social media is kind of a blurred line when it comes to whether a push or pull strategy is most effective and even more so when it comes to what tactics are TRULY push and TRULY pull. Social media is so interactive and has so many facets to it, that I think traditional push and pull strategies will be redefined to match our generation and the channels that we’re able to market on.
