This is a clever way for librarians to "get up to speed" on web 2.0 tools. While designed for administrators it could be easily adapted for administrators or teachers. Tip of the hat to the Savvy Technologist blog for sharing this.
Links to Tens of Thousands of Legal Music Downloads
Enjoy free music without getting in trouble by downloading the legal MP3s many musicians provide as a way to promote themselves.
By Michael David Crawford
You don't need to worry about getting sued by the Recording Industry Assocation of America or arrested by the FBI if you download legal music. Many independent and unsigned musicians offer downloads of their music in hopes of attracting more fans. Here's some music from my friends Oliver Brown and Rick Walker's Loop.pooL as well as my own piano compositions.
Having ownership of the norms that govern the course discussions will certainly
affect the climate of collaborative
learning in an online class by providing an impetus for students to post
more constructive and meaningful messages
The employment of Grice’s maxims for self-evaluation:
Quantity: make your contribution as informative as is required, but not
more, or less, than is required.
Quality: do not say that which you believe to be false or for which you lack
evidence.
Relation: be relevant.
Manner: avoid ambiguity and obscurity; be clear, brief, and orderly.
Retrospective analysis of posted responses:
self-critique and reflect on their performance and comment on their perceptions
concerning the quality of their responses may make them revisit their learning
and, more important, initiate them into rethinking about their postings to
improve their talk quality.
If you come across a question you can't answer, be honest. Don't bluff or portray yourself as an expert when you aren't. Instead model the collaborative skills you've developed and work together with the student to solve problems.
By sharing power you enhance the learning community.
