This bookmark came from delicious, where we had bookmarked the Social Impact Investment Prospectus (pdf). However, the site as a whole seems very relevant to KPI current work. One project is a new report, College Access and Success. They also sponsor an annual Social Innovation Forum.

Published in ChemPaths, the Chemical Education Digital Library on Aug 11 2009. An overview of social bookmarking.

Produced by commoncraft, Aug 6 2007. This video describes social bookmarking in a fun and decidedly low-tech fashion. Runtime is just over 3 minutes. Please note that this video is for sale, though it is possible to watch an evaluation copy, for free, from this URL.

In addition to bookmarking the home page of this site (follow tag: wep), I have bookmarked the About page where James Gee welcomes users and explains his vision for worked examples.

Presentation was part of Ignite Great Lakes, July 30 2011. Maria Anderson is a futurist and math professor at Muskegon Community College. It's not enough to bookmark (or digitally hoard); we need a "learn this" button. Essentially, this is a more efficient bookmarking system where we revisit sites of interest and actually ask ourselves questions about the topics.

From their "Pinning 101" notes, Pinterest is an "online pinboard." The explicit purpose is to bookmark and share images from the web, and to annotate them. While the site emphasizes "beautiful" things from the web, with a suggestion of domestic purposes, this might be another way to generate collaborative collages (as we've done with GSCC) or to share non-written artifacts on a specific topic.

This three-part series from American Radioworks looks at the American higher education system and asks "what's the right kind of education to get? And why are so many Americans failing to finish college." The programs include: Some College, No Degree; Don't Lecture Me (also bookmarked); and Who Needs and English Major.

A product of Texifter in conjunction with QDAP (see QDAP tag) this product is a predecessor of DiscoverText (also bookmarked). "This initial version of the system is specifically tailored to handle many forms of public comments submitted to US federal agencies during regulatory rulemaking and related public comment-generating activities."

By David Nagel, in Policy & Advocacy section of THE Journal, April 23 2010. The article announces the newly published National Educational Technology Trends: 2010, Innovation Through State Leadership report, published by State Educational Technology Directors Association (SETDA). Trends include "enhancing teacher effectiveness" through professional development and "scaling up success" by expanding innovative programs that have worked. Report is bookmarked as well, see trends_edtech tag.

By Alissa Gardenhire-Crooks, Herbert Collado, Kasey Martin, and Alma Castro with Thomas Brock and Genevieve Orr, published by MRDC in March 2010. The overview page (bookmarked) provides links to the Executive Summary and the full report (both available as PDFs). \nFrom the overview: "This study draws on the experiences of 87 African-American, Hispanic, and Native American men who were enrolled in developmental math courses at four Achieving the Dream institutions to find out more about what affects the success of men of color in community college."

By David Pierce, published on Makeuseof.com, November 8, 2008. This post outlines the advantages of Diigo over Delicious (both social bookmarking tools).

No author or date listed, this blog posts promotes a guide to Google+ for educators, written by Steven W. Anderson. I bookmark this post for two reasons. First, obviously, the opportunity for educators to learn more about Google+ and it's potential educational applications. But also the format, LiveBinder, is an interesting way to present and share resources.

Described on site as "3-ring binder for the Web" Tool to collect, organize and present resources. SM bookmarked a site that is using it for a presentation, "The Ultimate Guide to Google+ For Educators" See tag live_binder

Molly Martin is the Operations and Learning Officer (when website was bookmarked 9/16/11). For more about Martin, see tag martin

By Ellen Wagner and Phil Ice in Eduause Review Online, July 18 2012. A look at learning analytics and how they are being utilized in higher education.

On the same theme as the recently bookmarked article in The Chronicle.

By Doug Belshaw on his blog, dougbelshaw.com, July 25 2012. Belshaw -- who works on badge-related projects for Mozilla Foundation -- describes a new plug-in for WordPress that facilitates creating badges.

I'm bookmarking this to keep in the back of our minds. As we develop the GSCC project -- or possibly for other e-PD projects -- badges may become of greater interest. Interesting to see how badges can be done on WordPress platforms.

Edited by Dan Cohen and Tom Scheinfeldt, MPublishing, 2011. (Print edition forthcoming) This site is an open-access version of a volume of over 300 responses to questions posed by the editors in their social networks. Contributors were allowed only one week to respond. The approach, encouraging interactivity as well as a time limit, and the questions intended to provoke thinking on how digital media and technology can beneficially reform the academy. The editors convincingly state a good case for their choice of the word "hack." (originally bookmarked September 9, 2011. The previous link is no longer active.)

Posted by Clarance Fisher on his blog Remote Access, July 19 2011. Per his post, Fisher first wrote about a tool that would help "global kids in global classrooms to connect with each other." He then used the site vworker.com, where people post their projects, inviting coders to bid on them. Once he had a price for his project, he used ChipIn.com (for only one week) to raise the money for his project.

I've bookmarked for several reasons: (1) Love the idea of online community for kids around the globe (2) Vworker.com sounds like a great resource (3) Very interesting to see a social fundraising tool like ChipIn.com in action
