Embracing Social Media in the Classroom - 1 views

  •  
    This article reinforces the importance of creating structure when using social media in the classroom. "... the use of social media in school can't be left to chance; it needs to be mediated." I think this article makes great points about integrating SM into the classroom and its role in empowering our students.
  •  
    This is such an important topic, Christine. As we begin to bring the social media tools that our students use on an everyday basis into the classroom it is so important that we create that same "structure" and "guidance" that we do with all of the other tools and materials that we use. They need and expect this from us in this rapidly changing era of technology.

California Learning Resource Network (CLRN) - 1 views

  •  
    I'm not sure if CLRN is living up to its potential, but this website has links to many electronic resources, electronic textbooks, media reviews, and other information for educators. It is worth checking out!
  •  
    Kelly, this looks very interesting. There are a few resources in the Visual and Performing Arts section that I think I could use. I'm still not clear on whether this is a free or pay-as-you go resource but I am going to sign up for their "trial account".

visual recording on the iPad, illustrated - Ninmah Meets World - 1 views

  •  
    Rachel S. Smith of New Media Consortium demonstrates how she uses an iPad to visually record presentations (think doodling!) She demonstrates narrated QT video using Brushes and iMovie. GREAT ideas for presentation development! For EDTEC572 students: I KNOW the semester is over.. But some of you will think this is really nifty :)

    PLEASE! Keep adding great resources to our diigo group! I use these ideas all the time for inspiration and new things. Thank you so much, Cathy!

A Glossary to DEMYSTIFY the jargon of the online world - 1 views

  •  
    Good glossary for online and social media learner newbies. Clear explanations, further links and resources. Terms covered: Avatar Blog Cloud Computing Personal Learning Network (PLN) RSS Social Bookmarking  Social Networking Tag Web 2.0 Wiki
  •  
    Just the perfect site to help me with the glossary we want to include in our Moodle training for teachers manual! It's funny the way these terms float around out there, but most people have only the haziest idea what they actually mean! I know for a fact that our teacher-learners will benefit from a concise definition of such things as "wiki", "blog", "RSS" and others. And framing these terms within the educational context makes the definitions even more meaningful.

Ivy League Business Schools Begin Teaching Social Media - 1 views

  •  
    Even stuffy ivy league universities are seeing the value of adding social media classes to their MBA programs to encourage new business models. Part of this is a reaction to some embarrassing errors made by major corporations: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/31/education/31iht-riedmba.html

    Thanks for posting this Cathy! Ken and I were having a difficult time finding images that were free to use in education. We did not want to find ourselves using materials without permission. Thanks for the post!

    PDF of presentation on Using Facebook for teaching and learning

    I found this useful in that I could see building on it as I presented how WE would use social media in OUR classroom when presenting to my students. It also made me hungry for different sources on the subject such as guidelines and theory. Off to search ...

    This site builds on the PLN that Cathy has helped all of us to start developing. It has a wealth of videos and resources that explore the application of social media in education. It is a place where educators can contribute and learn about effective uses of SM in education.
  •  
    Great site, Christine. I found a video by Alan November, one of the true gurus and prophets regarding technology. Every Cometeer should watch his video about the emerging classroom. I also found a link here to a great site with documentary videos about 21st Century Learning -- http://newlearninginstitute.org/21stcenturyeducation/ There are some fascinating videos here about what is going on at schools around the country.

Converge Media Platform - 1 views

  •  
    Converge is a website that gives you strategies for using technology in the K-12 setting. Some highlights from the site cover; digital teaching and professional development, mobile learning and security, campus technology infrastructure to classroom technology uses. One article that caught my interest is "School Districts Integrate Technology into Core-based Curriculum." The article discusses school districts that are working to meet their learning goals with technology with the learning driving the technology instead of the other way around. All of the articles seem to cover successful practical uses of technology in the classroom which are ideas I am always looking for.
