Social Bookmarking with students: Quality not quantity! | The Edublogger - 0 views

  • Knowing how to organise, filter, research, evaluate and bookmark resources online is a valuable skill for students to gain. However, we can’t assume giving students access to a social bookmark tool means they’ll know what’s expected or will gain the necessary skills.
  • Students need explicit instructions and instructions to get the most out of social bookmarking. Students must see the point of aggregating bookmarks that they can return to for further use. Don’t expect them to initially appreciate the value of why they should bookmark. Students need to be aware of the types of bookmarks they can save. I teach history, so a bookmark could be a link to maps, photos, documents, quotes and so on –it’s like collecting different artifacts online. Students need to understand bookmarking is about finding quality links and not quantity.

    This is one of the things we need to model for our students (older grades)

MentorMob - Learn What You Want, Teach What You Love - MentorMob - 1 views

  •  
    "MentorMob uses the "playlist" concept to collect and share information. I can see great potential in this application as place to gather multiple sources for creating a flexible architecture for learning." I'm not sure if this is better than Symbaloo, Squorl, or a Livebinder, but it's along the same idea with the exception of you place the sites you want in a play list, almost like an interactive presentation.

    Thank you for sharing the tagul site. Very shiny!

    Fantastic videos to get ideas across!

    I really liked that! Awesome job! I will have to use Tagul next time!
  •  
    That was fantastic! Love the Mustang:)
  •  
    Wow! Nice use of technology! What a great demonstration of all the fun things to learn and use.
  •  
    OMgosh! I LOVE it! So, I can't wait to use Tagul (I think that is spelled right?). I've read about it from Byrne on Free Tech for Teachers, but have never used it. The power of having it link to another site is fabulous. Thanks so much! PS the YouTube is being bookmarked in my library
  •  
    A powerful presentation! Everything was great. I especially liked the tagel? words.
  •  
    VERY cute. I LOVED how you did the wordle and the music was a great addition. Lots of information. I also loved the beginning how you introduced yourselves. Engaging...
  •  
    Your collaboration tagul and google search and horse voki were very fun to watch. I enjoyed it and got the message loud and clear!
  •  
    So impressive! Just from watching your video it's clear you're comfortable with some of the different ways to make a site exciting. Your personal pictures were also a great inclusion to help build the relationships with the teachers at your school. Do you have plans to update and keep this site going throughout the year?

    There are so many resources here. This is such a powerful site. "This is the destination for digital literacy resources and collaboration. Use it to share and enhance the tools necessary to learn computer and Internet skills needed in today's global work environment."
  •  
    Ok - so this is a site I had in my Diigo bookmarks already -- but today when I looked at it, I saw, I mean really saw, the power of this site. It's worth taking time out of your day to check out.

The Math and Science of Junk Mail Project - 2 views

  •  
    This project leads 5th through high school students through an investigation into the impact of junk mail. Students use math to calculate the amount of unwanted mail received and science to determine the amount of environmental impact on the environment caused by this mail. A benefit of this project is that a basic outline of activities is included. A pitfall is that quite a bit of class time would be required to complete this project.
