Lateline Business - 30/03/2011: The business of social media - 0 views

  •  
    It's not just educators who are exploring the potential of social media. View the segment or read the transcript and learn why social media is important to connecting with young people, including (somewhat surprisingly) young males. The discussion also includes digital identity, digital footprint and the use of twitter. Quite revealing.

Digital identities: Trolling for your soul - 1 views

  •  
    i was going to post this on DCiS FB page, but thought better of it.
  •  
    Somewhere in the world a sad little band of trolls must be smarting at yet another derision of their good name! It makes the famous New Yorker cartoon quote seem so naive, and yet it could be extended to reflect the changing times "on the Internet nobody knows your a dog but it's bleedin' obvious your a TROLL'. I went onto read the comments which were also interesting. Perhaps this artlcle is a little harsh and castes trolls in a bad light since trolls are only exercising their right to freedom of speech FOS. Some trolls maybe subversive in a good way! The quandary of privacy, online identity & FOS is further explored in the comments Tx for your post.

How Schools Can Use Facebook to Build an Online Community - 3 views

  •  
    I plan to do social media for my assignment but with an emphasis on learning. This, on the other hand, is a comprehensive blueprint of how schools can use a facebook page to keep in touch with its community. It's an easy-to-use addition but not a replacement for "a robust website". Worth reading as he discusses the sort of information that might be included and how schools can control the use and misuse of that information.
  •  
    "It makes sense to have a policy to discourage individual teachers from posting specifics about their students to their personal profiles. But schools should counterbalance such a policy by setting up a Facebook Page to represent the school. Students, families, and faculty members are going to use Facebook regardless of whether or not schools choose to do so. By setting up a Facebook Page, schools can establish a controlled, professional presence that allows them to capitalize on this social space in many important ways, while still protecting their students. It's important to note that while a Facebook Page is an excellent opportunity for schools to supplement their web presence, it doesn't fully replace the benefits of a robust website. Here are some ways that schools can benefit from establishing an effective Facebook presence."

How Social Media is Changing Education [Infographic] - Edudemic - 0 views

  •  
    I began to read this with great anticipation but, in the end, it's s set of useful statistics and diagrams on social media use by tertiary educators and institutions for communication rather than a detailed explanation of the use of social media in learning. The information about US college applications and social media is a wake-up call as well.

World Without Walls: Learning Well with Others | Edutopia - 6 views

    • Benita Van Der Wel
       
      Important note about whether we actually do students a disservice by supposedly sheltering them from the big, bad online world, or whether we miss a valuable learning opportunity to help them learn how to use the resources effectively, efficiently and safely.
    • Benita Van Der Wel
       
      Highlights exactly what 21C learning is all about.
  • the work we create and publish is assessed by the value it brings to the people who read it, reply to it, and remix it

      Digital posting are assessed by their worth, by what they bring to others (good or bad). What a radical new way of assessing material !!

  • In fact, we need to rely on trusted members of our personal networks to help sift through the sea of stuff, locating and sharing with us the most relevant, interesting, useful bits. And we have to work together to organize it all, as long-held taxonomies of knowledge give way to a highly personalized information environment.
    • nicollebrigden
       
      Sounds like the role of the TL to me.
  • But it does suggest that we as educators need to reconsider our roles in students' lives, to think of ourselves as connectors first and content experts second.

      The classroom teacher as guide on side rather than sage on stage.
  • Who is this person? What are her passions? What are her credentials? What can I learn from her?
    • nicollebrigden
       
      Just like they should authenticate a website, students should verify the quality of an online learning partner.
  • How do we manage our digital footprints, or our identities, in a world where we are a Google search away from both partners and predators? What are the ethics of co-creation when the nuances of copyright and intellectual property become grayer each day? When connecting and publishing are so easy, and so much of what we see is amateurish and inane, how do we ensure that what we create with others is of high quality?

      All worthy questions.

The Importance of Digital Citizenship in Social Media | Edutopia - 1 views

  • When you are presenting social media and digital responsibility, don't lecture your students on why it is bad to post inappropriate pictures on Facebook, but have them search for examples. Allow the students to not only find examples of inappropriate use, but also allow them to teach each other. Even though they have a Facebook account, do they really understand all that comes with Facebook? Do they understand their privacy rights on Facebook and other social media sites? Did they read the fine print?
  •  
    "While students and teachers alike are anxious to integrate new learning tools into the classroom, we must err on the side of caution. It is our responsibility to empower our students by giving them the fundamental lessons in digital citizenship. Like basketball, students must enter the world of social media and digital media with a good defense. They must understand the repercussions of irresponsibly using social and digital media and what affects it may have on their future."

Transliteracy for Librarians wiki - 0 views

  • transliteracy is potentially a unifying concept for what it means to be literate in the digital age extends transliteracy in 21st century to include multiple discourses, communication platforms and tools calls for change of perspective away from battles over print / digital, moves instead towards unifying ecology of media / all literacies relevant to reading, writing, interaction and culture, both past and present not intended to replace other terms that refer to print literacy; encompasses both media and digital literacy and (media) convergence not just computer–based materials, but all communication types across time and culture emphasizes lateral approach to historical, contextual and cultural issues / literacies; bridges and connects past, present and future modalities situated in a liminal space between being a new cognitive tool and the recovery of an old one refuses to presuppose any kind of offline/online divide considers ability to understand multiple media and modes of communication and kinds of literacy we apply online

Digital content curation: How to do it right! - SCIS - 4 views

  •  
    "Teacher librarians are trained to quickly and effectively critically analyse and evaluate learning materials in a way that teachers may not. That being the case, it is more vital than ever before to assist them to navigate the tsunami of information flooding every communication channel by creating curated content."
  •  
    Hi Kate. I can't believe I finally remembered to pin something to diigo....look at you go though. You are even commenting! I thought this article from SCIS was perfectly timed. I only work part-time but I have spent days and days curating resources for teachers since lockdown went into action. They have been so thankful not to have to trawl through a million items to find something they will actually use with their students. Most helpful at the moment has been a libguide created to share all of the online read alouds so generously being offered by authors and illustrators.
