The Patent Troll - Business - GOOD - 0 views

  •  
    Patent Trolls - with this horrible line. "One could argue that {the troll} could, in some bizarre way, be considered a modern Robin Hood, stealing from the giants of corporate America to prop up smaller businesses." - This represents a fundamental misunderstanding of what most patent trolls are - foils for larger corporations trying to eliminate competition.

  • PLN is a network created by an individual learner, specific to the learner’s needs extending relevant learning connections to those around the globe who share interests, passions, and talents
    • Sean Murphy
       
      Good definition, although perhaps could find an easier way to say this
  • Build your personal learning network by sharing what you’re doing and connecting with others who are doing (or interested in doing) the same.

      Some of the most useful things I've ever learned on the internet were simply from lurking. Paintball, Photography, Car Repair - Your question is not new, someone else already asked it, you just have to FIND where they asked it

      Embedded denied by YouTube? Criminal.

      My only thought when I watch these videos is the sheer number of reams of paper he's wasting - get a digital illustrator and stop slashing and burning the rain forest so someone can understand facebook
  • Keeping up with more blogs will be difficult.

      But make sure you lurk for a long time.

      This is one of the best descriptions of twitter i've ever come across. It's incredibly hard for me to describe it to "digital immigrants", and I've already forwarded this video to someone who I've tried to explain it to in the past and most likely failed.  But again - flashing and burning forrest here bro.

      Any message about joining facebook should come with a huge disclaimer. HUGE. Sometimes it's best to not even have one.

      I like how they never explain this abbreviation for Face to Face
    • Sean Murphy
       
      I apparently don't pay attention....I'm such a skimmer
    • Sean Murphy
       
      I feel like the face to face learning communities will be more useful early on while we're trying to find our places in districts and classes. It's different to speak to another teacher who has different expectations/admin/kids, vs someone who has worked for 10 years in the school you're just starting at.
