  • As part of Social Actions' Change the Web Challenge we were excited to host the "Change the Web Conversation Series," open online chats to discuss how to use specific technology platforms for good. We invited a number of 'rock star' featured guests & moderators and our amazing community to ask questions, share examples & ideas, and in general rock the the discussions! Most all the chats occurred in the chat client Meebo (except for the Twitter chat - which was held on Twitter!) - and you can find the transcripts below!

Tech Digest : Real-time Twitter searches on Google results - 0 views

  • The Firefox add-on that brings Twitter results to your traditional search pages
  • Have a click on the image just here on the right and once it's bigged itself up, you'll notice it's a Google search page with five Twitter results at the top. That's because some clever soul over on MT-Hacks has created code for the Greasemonkey add-on for Firefox which offers a degree of real-time search on Google. Very neat indeed.
  • Head over to MT-Hacks to get the Twitter search add-on for your browser and see what you make of it.
  •  
    Useful for highly local news/search in particular.

'We don't need a Twittericulum' - Telegraph - 0 views

  • Greenfield's latest book, ID: The Quest for Meaning in the 21st Century, which has just been published in paperback, has become a bible for parents, many of whom possess none of the computing skills that are second nature to their teenagers. Its warning theme is that, as software becomes more sophisticated, increasingly young people opt for escapism rather than real life.

Syllabus at IPT 692R: Introduction to Open Education - 0 views

  • Instructional design faculty are frequently criticized for delivering information about innovative new pedagogical methods to their students in the form of traditional lectures - for talking the talk but failing to walk the walk.
  • On the other hand, the course is a massively multiplayer role-playing game in which students select a character class, develop specialized expertise, complete a series of individual quests, join a Guild, and work with members of their Guild to accomplish quests requiring a greater breadth of skills than any one student can develop during the course.
  • Despite the impressive work of Constance, JSB, and others, to the best of my knowledge no one has ever designed and implemented a university course as a massively multiplayer role-playing game. In addition to helping students gain a working knowledge of the field of open education (i.e., knowledge they can actually put to work), this course is a design experiment exploring the effectiveness of running a university course as a massively multiplayer role-playing game.

    Passion! Ken Robinson's site and promo new book: The Element-How finding your passion changes everything. I often feel that the guidance during school would best be about how to access who we are, how we each tick and what we can best offer the world. How can we best serve? And education as the embodiment (model) of "how can we best serve you?" (each human individually to be the best (me) we can be).
