      Interesting social experiment
  • He decided to conduct an experiment using a convenient sample: Harrisburg's student body

Why the no-fun 'Farmville' is so popular - 0 views

  •  
    I find it a little disturbing that there's a sense of social obligation to play FarmVille- if you don't play, then your Facebook/Farmville friends suffer. Kind of a sneaky trick.

  •  
    Great article along with an infographic on the usage of social network in US education "Wikis are an excellent tool for open collaboration and knowledge sharing because they allow everyone to contribute. Roughly 22 percent of United States school districts are involved in creating or maintaining wikis. Educational wikis give teachers and students a place to contribute to the community on the ideas and projects they are working on in the classroom. Wikis teach students how teamwork and collaboration benefit society through knowledge sharing."

What Is This Buzz Word "Transliteracy"? A Q&A with Ryan Nadel | Spotlight on Digital Media and Learning - 1 views

  • Being really smart used to mean “how much do you know,” and “how much can you memorize.” Now it’s, “how good are you at finding information and contextualizing it.”
  • So when we’re teaching digital literacy, it needs to be a transliterate approach. It’s not about one experience, but how all of these things interrelate.
  •  
    Are we transliterate enough when we are learning and experimenting things.  Another example I can think of for transliteracy is the awareness of updating one's status messages in various places. For example, a status message on one's FB page is quite different from one's LinkedIn Profile to one's style of tweeting to one's IM status message.  Being aware of what kind of thoughts go where is an important transliterate skill to have. Thoughts?

  •  
    Can social networks be an instructive technology? Since social networks are so popular, if their features can be used in education, there would be interesting results. However, nowadays, most of them are for entertainment uses.
