    No need to know any HTML or CSS to design these blogs! You can also export your blog as an XML file and then import it into another blog (such as Edublogs)

    This is nice. I have been using blogger for 6 years and glad that I can finally do some styling on my blog.

The Social Media Classroom | DMLcentral - 0 views

  • I had assumed that all the laptop-staring, smartphone-glancing students were like my daughter (a college student when I started teaching) and all her friends and the other digital natives I had heard so much about. So I put together an online survey and discovered a wide disparity in my students' web skills. Just because they Facebook, text, or participate in online games doesn't mean that all young people understand rhetorics of blogging or collaborative uses of wikis or building personal learning networks with Twitter.

      We have to be careful not to assume that all "social media engaged" individuals understand all social tools. I made that assumption about myself in CI593 because I used a few tools I thought everything else would be easy. That was far from reality.

    The number of Internet users who visited a social network or a blog increased by 24 percent from April 2009 to April 2010, while the average person spent 66 percent more time on those sites during that period, according to new numbers from the Nielsen Co. research firm.

    I want to be able to demonstrate some of the very cool capabilities of Evernote to everyone on Monday, but, to do so, I will need everyone to have an account so they can follow along with the activity. If you are feeling up to it, you can also download the Evernote client on your local machine: http://www.evernote.com/about/download/

    Ryan, can you tweet about it so everyone gets the message? Thanks.

    This blogger speaks about social media and how it can lead people to think they have real relationships with people when they don't. It also can lead to poor social skills. Interesting because I recently was watching a reality dating show where a contestant was offended that people did not read his blogs. I'll call that a false sense of "celebrity", lol.

    An academic was able to track down one of the lost letters of DeCartes using Google. As technology gets more advanced, it begins to solve problems automatically. What does this phenomenon tell us about the power of social networks?

    Interesting to think beyond what basic searching google does. I think sometimes we "Cripple" our searches by just checking google. Of course I always remind students that "web" is not peer reviewed journal, there is no quality control.

    This is VERY interesting- I had no idea there were sites that indexed private networks. I am also convinced that the "crawler" is outdated.

    I was using google scholar to search for scholarly papers. I will check these out to see if I can do my literature search using some of them.
  • ken kass on 08 Jun 10
     
    Google scholar has probably more advantages in that you can see who the preeminent author (most cited but other pubs) is. Its great for that. Interesting discussion on pros and cons of indexing such as google scholar. I guess it misses a bit.... even so I find it a very useful tool. http://blogs.ubc.ca/dean/2007/11/top-five-5-problems-with-google-scholar-three-years-later/ (ive spoken to ref librarians that are not crazy about it either). I think like all the search tools, they are good but not good enough to be "the" exclusive tool.

  • Brent Nelson on 08 Jun 10
     
    I think the Google "street view" stuff is pretty cool. For some big event like this, it would be even cooler if they could update some key locations every hour or so so you can see crowds of people coming in and get a timeline of tailgating, etc.
  • Ryan Kirk on 08 Jun 10
     
    Definately- I'm sure there are some existing, public, real-time cameras that could be added to the network.
