Sue Waters of Edublogs blogpost Twitter How-To for educators. Clear tips to get up and running using Twitter.

Facebook video:  Facebook for educators.  Great 8 minute video introducing FB to educators and showing important tips and best practices.  Easy view. Available from within FB.

This is a great video! Although facebook is blocked at our schools, among other amazing web resources, students can still access material from home. I'm thinking that if a teacher creates enough buzz about a class facebook, students will get involved with it at home. Teachers can even give participation points for students who post. This brings up a question of equity. .. What about students who don't have computers or internet access at home? My answer to that is for students to network with family and friends, and find someone who will let them use the internet. Many public libraries have internet access. Of course this is coming from a high school teacher point of view. Love the video! But I still need to get familiar with all of the settings and privacy controls on there before I use it in class. :)

Tips and Tricks for Twitter

I came across this tip for making form data in Google spreadsheets more organized - very helpful!

Great tip! I often create surveys with Google docs, but dislike how lengthy responses in the formula cells take up too much space. This would be a great way to clean up the data for easier analysis. Thanks!

Really nice overview of effective screencasting. Highlight tech tips, software, online audio sources and formatting for various end devices. Clear, VERY informative read.

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!
