Free Technology for Teachers: What is RSS? - 0 views

Hanna Wiszniewska on 10 Jan 09

As a teacher, using an RSS reader can help you stay informed and up to date on new information related to your content area and practice. People often ask me how I find so much information about new technology resources, the answer is simple, I scan roughly 600 updates in my RSS reader every day. Obviously you don't have to subscribe to as many websites as I do to stay informed, but my RSS addiction does demonstrate how much time a person can save and how much information a person can find by using an RSS reader. If I didn't use an RSS reader there is no way that I could find so much information in a couple of hours each day. (As a side note, I'm going camping for six days without Internet access when I get back, I'll have thousands of items to scan through). If you maintain a blog or website for your classroom, having your students use RSS readers is a good way to keep them informed of new information you've posted. For teachers that address current events in their curriculum, having students use RSS readers is a good way for them to track developments in news stories.

Teaching web search strategies early in the semester can prevent frustration for you and your students down the road. The Boolify Project mentioned above is suitable for students in elementary school through high school. The Primer in Boolean logic is probably best suited to high school and college students.

shared by Jeff Johnson on 11 Jul 08 - Cached

As many of you know, who follow me on Langwitches, I am working on a Digital Storytelling Guide for Educators. I will be using Wordle to create a storytelling cloud with words that come to mind when you think what Digital Storytelling means to or for you. Please contribute keywords, that come to YOUR mind when you think of storytelling in a comment. Don’t hesitate to add duplicate keywords what digital storytelling means to you. That way Wordle will highlight more important keywords. I will add your reponses through the comments and through Twitter and Plurk to Wordle and add the collaborative cloud to this post and as part of the cover art of the hardcover book that will be available for free download on Lulu.com . This cloud will be a digital story in itself, told by all of us!

Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age - 12 views

Connectivism Social Media learning theories George Siemens

shared by Michael Johnson on 25 Feb 10 - Cached

Michael Johnson on 25 Feb 10

Key Principles: Learning and knowledge rests in diversity of opinions. Learning is a process of connecting specialized nodes or information sources. Learning may reside in non-human appliances. Capacity to know more is more critical than what is currently known Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to facilitate continual learning. Ability to see connections between fields, ideas, and concepts is a core skill. Currency (accurate, up-to-date knowledge) is the intent of all connectivist learning activities. Decision-making is itself a learning process. Choosing what to learn and the meaning of incoming information is seen through the lens of a shifting reality. While there is a right answer now, it may be wrong tomorrow due to alterations in the information climate affecting the decision.

The manager uses formal channels of communication and these are familiar to all organization members.                                                                             Each organization member has an assigned formal communication channel through which orders are received.                                                               The line of communication between manager and subordinate is as direct as possible.                                                                                                                  The complete chain of command is used to issue orders.                                      The manager possesses adequate communication skills.                                      The manager uses formal communication lines only for organizational business.                                                                                                                                 A command is authenticated as coming from a manager.

privacy web2.0

In online public spaces, interactions are public-by-default, private-through-effort, the exact opposite of what we experience offline. There is no equivalent to the cafe where you can have a private conversation in public with a close friend without thinking about who might overhear. Your online conversations are easily overheard. And they're often persistent, searchable, and easily spreadable. Online, we have to put effort into limiting how far information flows. We have to consciously act to curb visibility. This runs counter to every experience we've ever had in unmediated environments. When people participate online, they don't choose what to publicize. They choose what to limit others from seeing. Offline, it takes effort to get something to be seen. Online, it takes effort for things to NOT be seen. This is why it appears that more is public. Because there's a lot of content out there that people don't care enough about to lock down. I hear this from teens all the time. "Public by default, privacy when necessary." Teens turn to private messages or texting or other forms of communication for intimate interactions, but they don't care enough about certain information to put the effort into locking it down. But this isn't because they don't care about privacy. This is because they don't think that what they're saying really matters all that much to anyone. Just like you don't care that your small talk during the conference breaks are overheard by anyone. Of course, teens aren't aware of how their interactions in aggregate can be used to make serious assumptions about who they are, who they know, and what they might like in terms of advertising. Just like you don't calculate who to talk to in the halls based on how a surveillance algorithm might interpret your social network.

This is an amazing virtual anatomy system. 3-dimensional views of all human organ systems. Zoom through the body . Use the label layer to learn anatomical vocabulary. Stunning graphics. A free virtual tour of the body. This is a beta offering. You need a Web browser that supports WebGL. This means Google Chrome or Firefox 4 beta. Well worth installing a new browser if you haven't already done so.
