So here are over 100 ways that different social technologies (and tools) are being used by learning professionals worldwide - compiled from the comments of those who have contributed their Top Tools for Learning."

  • Thinkfinity is a database
    • jamie hill
       
      This is similar to Web Guru then??
  • creating a product that they can print out or save
    • jamie hill
       
      Are most of the activities on the computer then, or can they been done without computers?
    • Douglas Gimbar
       
      Jamie, it all depends on what you are looking for. There are hundreds of lessons and activities. You can find ones that can be completed off the computer as well.
    • Heather Apostolopoulos
       
      The problem with this is then we hear complaints about using ink and toner to print everything out. How do we bypass that?
  • ...19 more annotations...
  • I would really love easier access to computers
    • jamie hill
       
      Our science department has our 17 laptops tied up almost everyday. If I want to use them it has to be scheduled well in advance and cant conflict with their lessons anyway. Why can one department create their curriculum around tech. but the others have to suffer.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Good question, Jamie. I think it is because education has looked at technology as a "nice if you can get it" extra.
    • Heather Apostolopoulos
       
      I agree, but since my Read 180 is a big thing right now. All of the read 180 classrooms have computer carts with 30 or so lappies! I consider myself lucky, but I do sympathize.
  • vast resource that it is almost overwhelming
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      This is one of the new skills - how we deal with the overwhelming amount of content. Thinkfinity is designed to try and help us do this by sifting and sorting through content that would otherwise take more effort to determine reliability (i.e. a Google search).
  • I hope that I am not overlooking great tools as I meander through the site.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Collaboration can help this!
  • One of the problems that I am experiencing finding a way to work these into my lessons when I don’t have instant access to computers or laptops. 
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      This is a real challenge for logs of teachers wanting to try new things, but not having the resources.
  • recite the speech and incorporate a series of images that compliment and connect to the speech.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Good activity to highlight media literacy. How will they find the images?
  • a very realistic goal
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      And ou don't have to actually have an iPod. You can listen to these files on any computer.

      I debated the fireplace.
  • gathering information from Internet resources
    • jamie hill
       
      What a great tool to have as a HS student going into college. They can collect school stuff and fun stuff in the same place too. I couldnt help but notice a game widget.
  • be a highly technological concept
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      It can be a little intimidating at first.
  • I am wondering why more people I know don’t have one of these pages set up for themselves
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Good wondering. Why do you think more people don't use RSS?
    • Douglas Gimbar
       
      I think because it is a fairly new technology and certain people are hesitant to try something new. . .a fear of change.
  • Before making my netvibes page, I did create a bloglines page but was not impressed
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Yes...Bloglines is just plain ugly looking!

  • my trip to the world of educational technology
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Hopefully you'll stay, even after class is over!
  • This is the impetus for me to continue to further develop more uses of technology with my students.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Great! Our understanding really develops over time --- there is no end point. So stick with it!
  • I always thought about learning how to use wikis as a way to respond to reading novels in my class but felt I needed someone to guide me through learning about it.  I haven’t had the time yet to incorporate a wiki in any of my classes, but I am teaching a new course in the spring semester, and I think that I might have the opportunity to try it out there.  As far as I can tell, the course’s curriculum doesn’t seem to have many big technological highlights, so it  might give me the opportunity to engage students using a new medium.  The class is 10th grade on level, which is a step below college prep, and those students might benefit from the ability to engage in discussion outside of class and use a hands on way of doing it.

      This is an idea you might want to consider developing as part of your final project in this class.

      Is this something you might share in class?
  • truly engaged and had a good time doing it
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      What do you think they learned?
  • they really had an honest reaction of surprise at how fast class was going.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      It would be interesting to dig into this deeper, trying to understand - maybe through some conversation with them - what they found most engaging about the approach you took with the class.
  • ultimately share this idea out there in cyberspace. 
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      I wonder if there are practitioner journals - NCTE, ISTE, etc, that would be interested in an article?

The Committed Sardine - blog - 0 views

  •  
    We hear a lot about the 21st Century learner - But what about the 21st Century Teacher?\nWhat are the characteristics we would expect to see in a 21st Century Educator? Well, we know they are student centric, holistic, they are teaching about how to learn as much as teaching about the subject area. We know too, that they must be 21st Century learners as well. But highly effective teachers in today's classrooms are more than this - much more.

Teaching and technology ~ presentations and resources for educators - 0 views

  •  
    "During the last six or so years I have created a number of 'how-to' documents and presentations for a variety of web based and related technologies. They are available from the various workshop web pages however I thought it might prove helpful to link to all the documents from a single page. Some of my workshop participants have referred to these documents as 'cheat sheets'."

Minds on Fire: Open Education, the Long Tail, and Learning 2.0 (EDUCAUSE Review) | EDUC... - 0 views

  •  
    The most profound impact of the Internet, an impact that has yet to be fully realized, is its ability to support and expand the various aspects of social learning. What do we mean by "social learning"? Perhaps the simplest way to explain this concept is to note that social learning is based on the premise that our understanding of content is socially constructed through conversations about that content and through grounded interactions, especially with others, around problems or actions. The focus is not so much on what we are learning but on how we are learning….
