Note to Principals: You Can't Keep Ignoring Social Spaces | CTQ - 3 views

  • social spaces tend to be spaces where our primary customers -- parents and students -- spend a heck of a lot of time.
  • 63 percent of the respondents to a recent Pew Research Center on Journalism and Media survey reported turning to Twitter and Facebook for news "outside the realm of friends and family"
  • a school and/or district hashtag.

  • School personnel can post traditional communications -- calendar updates, school closing information, details on special programming or deadlines -- just as easily as classroom teachers can post pictures of cool classroom happenings or community organizations can post links to resources that parents and students might find useful.

    Having a social media presence is essential for schools to maintain communication with their stakeholders.  A school hashtag is an excellent way to make it easy for everyone to share.

How to Reach Baby Boomers with Social Media - ReadWriteWeb - 0 views

  •  
    Note** Would be interesting for school districts to analyze their percentage of boomers (older and younger) and corresponds their technology training to these new demographics/usage. A new report from Forrester Research revealed some surprising information: apparently Baby Boomers aren't exactly the technology Luddites that people think they are. In fact, more than 60 percent of those in this generational group actively consume socially created content like blogs, videos, podcasts, and forums. What's more, the percentage of those participating is on the rise.

Footprints in the Digital Age - 0 views

  • the online portfolios of who we are, what we do, and by association, what we know—are becoming increasingly woven into the fabric of almost every aspect of our lives
  • They're creating all sorts of content—some, as we all know, doing so very badly—and they're doing all sorts of things with online tools that, for the most part, we're not teaching them anything about. In the process, they're becoming Googleable without us. By and large, they do all this creating, publishing, and learning on their own, outside school, because when they enter the classroom, they typically "turn off the lights"
  • these shifts demand that we move our concept of learning from a "supply-push" model of "building up an inventory of knowledge in the students' heads" (p. 30) to a "demand-pull" approach that requires students to own their learning processes and pursue learning, based on their needs of the moment, in social and possibly global communities of practice.

  • They need to know that publishing has a nobler goal than just readership—and that's engagement.

      Our teachers need to focus on engagement as well
  • "collective action," sharing responsibility and outcomes in doing real work for real purposes for real audiences online
  • And older students should be engaging in the hard work of what Shirky (2008) calls "collective action," sharing responsibility and outcomes in doing real work for real purposes for real audiences online.

  • encourage consumers to get DNA testing, potentially creating a novel research resource in the process
  • people can find each other by their alleles
  • most of the controversy centered on the medical applications. Customers can learn their genetic risk, compared with the general population, of myriad diseases, including Alzheimer's, diabetes, macular degeneration, and cancer. But many scientists and physicians say that it's unclear whether the average user can truly comprehend this information, and whether knowing her genetic risk will actually improve her health
  • allows people to compare their genome with those of family members, friends, and even strangers who have offered up their DNA data
