Here's a great article about a student using Twitter as a primary source for political science research.

A great article in EDUCAUSE about creating activities students actually find useful.

Our students are constantly on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and likely many sites we're not hip enough to know about, and by reading this blog, you will be able to decide what social media will be more suitable to your course.

This video discusses the origins of, history, types and reasons for using blogs. Very informative

Take the quiz. See if you are ready for social media in your class

The myth about social media in the classroom is that if you use it, kids will be Tweeting, Facebooking and Snapchatting while you're trying to teach. We still have to focus on the task at hand. Don't mistake social media for socializing.

You've heard the adage that a picture is worth a thousand words, but when that picture is protected by copyright, the picture is only worth three words: cease and desist. OK, that's kind of a lawyer joke. But it illustrates how protective people are about finding their images used online without permission.

I find the entire copyright issue so darn confusing. This was a great post but with the exception of items such as photos and music, how do you protect intellectual property- meaning ideas? I find extremely difficult to live in this "let's all collaborate" world without guarding ideas I have for journal articles, etc. How far should we go to share and /or get exposure for our work? Any thoughts?

The image used in this post is of a small group of students sitting in a room together, (seemingly) energetically talking about the issues at hand. This is an example of synchronous discussion-the students are in the same room, ostensibly discussing the same topic (the caption says they are "debating search engine liability," which sounds really interesting to me, at least).

With CloudVOTE, you can upload, store and manage your personal or business presentation templates and never have to worry about the content again. No one can modify the content once it's stored as a template, so simply log in, start a poll from an existing template and collect feedback from your audience. ----Bookmark by M Brown for Technology Tools course march 2016

I recently started using BOX at work, and the collaboration that it allows is very powerful. I now see that some educational institutions are using it for this as well. If you have used it in an educational setting, I would like to hear about your experiences. Thanks,
