Parallels and reversals in chaco, hubble, and facebook - 0 views

  •  
    Paper suggests that "the "revolution" of social media merely parallels other cultural reversals, all of which seek to return humans to the center of the universe." Interesting social perspective...

Google Instant search feeds our real-time addiction - CNN.com - 0 views

  • By providing results before a query is complete and removing the need to hit the "enter" key, Google claims users will save two to five seconds per search

      Two to five seconds to hit Enter?  In a society obsessed with saving time, even mere seconds are perceived as valuable.
  • Web connections have become significantly faster over time

      Are the speed and brevity of these messages bypassing the potential exploration of a certain topic area in-depth, or is very topic only superficial?
  • many social sites now use our social connections to recommend content to us without the need to seek it out

      Search engines do the work for us.  We don't even need to know how to find the information ourselves these days.
  • What's more, this feature enables truly personalized discovery by taking into account your search history, location and other factors -- Google is essentially emulating social networks by trying to predict what we're looking for without the need to submit a fully-formed search
  • The next step of search is doing this automatically. When I walk down the street, I want my smartphone to be doing searches constantly: 'Did you know ... ?' 'Did you know ... ?' 'Did you know ... ?' 'Did you know ... ?

      Constant delivery of knowledge.
    • Devon Dickau
       
      In thinking about evolving technology in terms of both formal and informal education, I question whether or not constant and immediate access to information is improving or harming individual knowledge.  By this I mean that because we can so easily search for something online, what motivation is there to actually know anything.  If we have Wikipedia on our phones, and know HOW to find it, can't we just spend 30 seconds finding the page and "know" something for topic of conversation, or a test?  What is the point, then, or learning, of retaining knowledge?  I feel that this may be a problem in coming generations.  What knowledge will our students actually feel they need to retain? I took solace in the fact that at least we have to learn and teach HOW to find the information, but with new technologies like predictive and instant searching, it almost seems like that is a skill that will soon become unneeded as well.  We might as well just be physically plugged in to the Internet with access to all information simultaneously. Thoughts from the group?

Students Speak Up in Class, Silently, via Social Media - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  •  
    Great article about students using backchannels in schools. It discusses successes such as shy students speaking up more and students viewing their peers as more intelligent.
  •  
    I agree that it allows shy students an opportunity to participate in way that gives them time to think through a response or in a less intense way

Top Ed-Tech Trends: What's Changed from 2011 to 2012? - 1 views

  •  
    Before he publishes the actual 2012 review, is reflecting on what he wrote one year ago. (the ten things he highlighted last year was the ipad, social media, text-messaging, data, the digital library, khan academy, STEM, higher education bubble, "open", the business of ed-tech) Personally interested in programming literacy part that is expected to be mentioned. Also like the questions presented at the end.

24 Ed-Tech Terms You Should Know - 9 views

    This is a truly dumb set of definitions that of course are being widely publicized by the media (sigh)

    "Social Learning: Using social media as part of class. Who said that Twitter was just for Justin Bieber?"
  •  
    I have revisited this over and over - but each time I realize that no, I'm not hallucinating. They do indeed endorse 1:1 laptop/iPad, as they are "way cooler than stickers." Obviously, they don't have access to the right stickers.

Forget an essay -- earn a scholarship with a tweet - CNN.com - 7 views

  •  
    NOW!!! THIS IS REALLY COOL!
  •  
    I wish it was this easy when I applied to undergrad. 
  •  
    interesting point that the MBA admissions director from University of Iowa mentions. Admissions dept.'s are finding traditional application essays stale. New/social media outlets like twitter are bringing back originality and creativity. Maybe embracing Tweets as a medium is like a page-limit on a paper assignment. The constraints force students to really hone in on their points, and convey it as succinctly and clearly as possible? Conveying an entire thought/argument in 140 characters... it isn't easy, and perhaps those who can do it best are really effective 21st century communicators, and are worth rewarding/supporting.
