  • The New Media Consortium (NMC) defines learning analytics as a “field associated with analysing patterns and trends from big data”. Its primary goal is to help educators develop educational programs to address a student’s needs.
  • 3D printing is the process of making products and parts using a computer. It’s a faster and more cost-effective way of building parts from computer-aided designs (CAD).
  • Apps, or applications, have become indispensable tools for learning. In fact, many courses, such as Information Technology courses, have integrated them into their curriculum.

      #1:  This is very similar in education, I think.  Because the students we teach are growing up in the digital era, it is imperative that we utilize social media into our teachings.

      #2:  In one year of teaching, I can't even count begin to count the number of times I asked students to get off their cell phones.  If they are that connected to mobile devices, why not utilize them as a teaching resource!  If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, right?

      I have heard such good things about Google+ and Google+ Hangouts, but I haven't used them or figured them out yet.  Incorporating an assignment using Google+ for this EDLT 561 course may be beneficial for future sections.

      #4:  Do infographics like the one I'm currently looking at fall into the category of images?  I totally agree with this point and can several ways to utilize images through social media in education.  Multimodal learning can be very effective, and I know I personally learn better when I have an image to associate with content.

      The possibilities for using videos in education as a means of social media are endless.  Video sites like Vine are like Twitter (but for videos) in that they are typically very brief.  Using video social media tools like this could help students learn the importance of being concise but effective.

      In online classes, podcasts are extremely important, but I have also seen them used more and more in flipped classrooms.  For example, one of the high school science teachers I used to work with ran her classes as flipped classrooms.  Because of this, she would use podcasts to teach students outside of the actual class time so that when students did show up to class that day, they could hit the ground running with labs, projects, etc.  She was able to get a lot more done by using podcasts, and she expressed how great they are for student review purposes, as well.
