  • social curation journalism is
  • students use Pinterest as part of a “social photography” assignment
  • assigned students in a “writing for the web” class to produce stories for their Doing It Downtown blog to use Pinterest as a curation tool for visuals, while using Storify for social media and Spotify or LastFM for music.
  • “I teach Pinterest as a visual ‘SPACE,’”
  • S is for sourcing story ideas and trending topics; P is for promotion and publishing students’ work. A is for aggregation of pictures (with suitable copyright); C is for curating top news, and E is for engaging with others.”
  • Pinterest is not without its drawbacks. Not all students, especially males, find it equally intriguing
  • But the big issue some are warning about with Pinterest has to do with its copyright policy regarding the images users pin.
  • Lawyer and amateur photographer Kirsten Kowalski likened it to Napster due to the liability its terms of service and copyright policies create for users of the site
  • Pinterest issued a statement on March 15 suggesting that, like YouTube and other social media sharing sites, it is “protected under the safe harbor of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (PDF),” and also tries to respond promptly to any copyright violation concerns.

    Looking to add visual interest to your lesson? Pinterest may be your solution! The article suggests ways in which this visual social media site can be used in the classroom and promotes SPACE - an acronym that helps students to remember the "best" uses for the site. This is interesting in terms of reaching students with varied learning styles and intelligences, developing creativity and higher order thinking, and more. However, like most tools the site does have its downfalls. It tends to be more engaging for females than males, which brings about an interesting gender debate. Its use also falls into fuzzy copyright issues - none of which are different from other social media sites. Check out the article & let me know what you think!

    Until Pinterest addresses the nudity and pornography that can pop up on the "everything" catergory, I can't recommend this site for class projects. I've banned my own children from it (both of my daughters have a board on my own account) and wish desperately that I could unsee some of the images I've seen. It seems like copyright might be the least of their worries if lewd content continues to surface. It's really too bad - I have to agree that it could be great for group or individual projects.

    This is an interesting court decision regarding the use of social media.  I find the decision that socia media is now considered a part of normal conversation an important line drawn in the sand.  I wonder if this decision was made before the "drunken pirate" issue with the young student teacher being denied her licence if there would have been a change in her ruling.

6 Technology Challenges Facing Education -- THE Journal - 0 views

shared by Lindsay Pasco on 26 Sep 13 - No Cached
  • Challenge 1: professional development. Key among all challenges is the lack of adequate, ongoing professional development for teachers who are required to integrate new technologies into their classrooms yet who are unprepared or unable to understand new technologies.

      I think that it is important to know and understand the challenges with technology in the education field. I think that this is important because it can help to keep those challenges minimal in the classroom. I think it is important that the students do not become too dependent on technology.
  • Challenge 2: resistance to change. Resistance to technology comes in many forms, but one of the key resistance challenges identified in the report is "comfort with the status quo."
  • According to the researchers, teachers and school leaders often see technological experimentation as outside the scope of their job descriptions.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Challenge 3: MOOCs and other new models for schooling.
  • Challenge 4: delivering informal learning. Related to challenge 3, rigid lecture-and-test models of learning are failing to challenge students to experiment and engage in informal learning. But, according to the report, opportunities for such informal learning can be found in non-traditional classroom models, such as flipped classrooms, which allow for a blending of formal and informal learning.
  • Challenge 5: failures of personalized learning. According to the report, there's a gap between the vision of delivering personalized, differentiated instruction and the technologies available to make this possible.
  • Challenge 6: failure to use technology to deliver effective formative assessments.
  • However, there is still an assessment gap in how changes in curricula and new skill demands are implemented in education; schools do not always make necessary adjustments in assessment practices as a consequence of these changes. Simple applications of digital media tools, like webcams that allow non-disruptive peer observation, offer considerable promise in giving teachers timely feedback they can use."

    I love Pinterest, it is one of my many obsessions so immediately I was attracted to this article. I believe Pinterest is an extremely useful tool, especially in a classroom. I use it mainly for crafting and creating, rather than news and media things, so rarely will I ever be worrying about copyright issues. I do understand, however, that it can cause some major issues. I don't believe I will have students necessarily be using this site, it will be more for my use. Pinterest offers great ideas through personal blogs that others share for the public use. This article showed me that there are consequences that come with some of the criteria though.

  • Carefully consider the ways in which video or other media that you share with your class are aligned with your learning objectives
  • Be sure that the technology that you intend to use is accessible to your students.
  • do consider whether or not your students have access to technology that you want them to use.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • make sure that you are familiar with all of the technology
  • Technology should be used as reinforcement of and supplement to your teaching, but it should not be a simple reiteration of exactly what you have done in another format.
