There's a database of free media, a collection of public domain books and the ultimate quote book, to name a few. All of these projects represent the Internet at its best: people from all over the world getting together to build something useful for mankind. If you're not familiar with these tools you're missing out on a great deal of the web's inherent awesomeness, so let's take a look.

News: Professors and Social Media - Inside Higher Ed - 1 views

      Yeah, but which one? And in what capacity? YouTube can just be more "sage on the stage" or, I'm being generous, sage vetted alternative content delivery material.

      It depends. Checkout www.tinyurl.com/ycLL4dq It's a group of math grad students who run a website for math review for accuplacer, sat, act, etc. MCCCD testing centers gives out free booklets for math review for the accuplacer. Accuplacer sells math review for their own placement tests. But read the equations and they just bounce off your eyes and fall to the flloor. However, watch the math grads on youtube explain it and even people who took math 30 years ago say "oh yeah, I remember how to solve those quadratic equations."

      Peter, I know...and that is part of the point I was making in my talk! Thanks for sharing the example!

      Notice who funded this research! This is not surprise considering some of the criticism about who funds the various research projects and organizations support "21st Century Skills."

      Yes, and coal companies pay ASU professors mucho dinero to prove there is no global warming. Coal money also pays for lots of TA's & RA's ... keep Deans happy and ASU in the top 60 research institutes in the US.
    • Shelley Rodrigo
       
      Yes, I knew it! However, YouTube can be interactive, a read/write technology. I wonder if those professors using YouTube actually have YouTube accounts, know how to favorite, rate, reply, and respond? How many have their own channels and actually publish stuff? 
    • Peter Combs
       
      Hmm, how many online teachers answer their email? (present company excluded!!) ;-) I didn't like podcasts for a long time because I can read faster than most people talk. Then I discovered I could clean house while listening to podcasts and I changed my tune.

    Video IS this generation's myths & stories. Some linguists say visual symbols are the basis of language and that's why we dream. In English, an instructor could engage students by interspersing video clips of "Prospero's Books" with "The Tempest." Most instructors in science for non-science majors know a movie is de rigueur just before evaluation day! ;-)
