    Google Docs is a powerful word processing tool many schools have adopted. As it's similar to Microsoft Word and others, its features are intuitive to use.

    This was worth listening to. It inspired me to think about using Twitter as a teaching tool. Jesse Strommel convinced me it's worth a try.

    Students hate discussion boards and mostly feel like they don't get anything out of them. They go into check box mode and real dialogue is lost. How can we fix them?

    I agree we need to improve discussion boards. I like smaller groups. I have also found in my courses that the students usually are more engaged when I am engaged with them first.

    I also struggle keeping students engaged in discussion boards. I think allowing them some autonomy on choosing their selected topic and/or allowing the post to be completed in various ways helps.

    The article title made me do a double-take! The links for article that provide more direction for improving discussion boards are great! Discussion boards can be so useful, but if not done properly can definitely lead to frustration and/or poor quality of postings by students. Examples and rubrics really help to clarify expectations. I would love to find a way to create a discussion board that helps students feel more connected to me and their peers.

    Glad you all got some use from it. It's a sensationalistic title, but it's something I thought about often as a student. We don't discuss in discussion boards - we write polite, well cited essays and respond to other essays. I'm definitely in favor of rethinking how we do student engagement - discussion boards really could be wonderful, but in most of my experiences as a student they were really lack luster. As an instructor, I'm not sure mine are really much better! I keep tinkering trying to do better.

    I used discussion board for 2 full semesters. I received feedback from my students in both ways: course reflection and my performance evaluation. The feedback was very positive. The assignment for the discussion boards would include an actual company with specific operations (inventory, quality, process design, etc.). Students were free to answer any questions and required provide a feedback to at least one of the classmates answer. Students felt connected to their classmates, shared different views, had an opportunity to learn from each other.

    The title is a bit misleading but some of the recommendations discussed can definitely spark some life into DBs. DBs are a good way to foster engagement but unless properly done can mostly be seen by students as a one and done exercise.

    What a great video! Actually, my class on Film Appreciation may benefit from this type of interaction, considering that I cannot have all of my 35 plus students talk all the time. Thank you Heather!

    I'm glad you like it - I was fascinated too, Jim. I really expected to not love Twitter in the classroom, but I've been rethinking it since I saw this.

    @hnoore681 Thanks for sharing! Just wanted to keep in mind of those who don't have an account, and those who don't want to have one. That's when UDL comes into play. I am also exploring https://grouptweet.com/blog/step-by-step-guide-to-managing-a-classroom-twitter-account-with-grouptweet.

    @chreych I am always curious about this. Since twitter is free, if they do not have an account - can't we ask them to create one for use in the classroom?

    Teachers should only use social media as a teaching tool to improve their students' education. "If it's not to the betterment of your kids, why are you doing it? It may not be for you," says Brian Aspinall, an elementary teacher in Chatham, ON who speaks and blogs about technology and educational reform. "Don't do it because you went to a conference on Twitter and someone said you should do it."

Knowledge economy technology inclusion

    This paper raises serious doubts regarding the success of our educational system in preparing students for the knowledge society. According to the author the knowledge economy "...holds the promise of changing, to our benefit, some of the most deep-seated and universal regularities of economic life and of dramatically enhancing productivity and growth. Its effects, however, have so far proved modest." The disruption brought by the new technologies can cause an even bigger inequality in societies. Worth thinking about it.

I think blogs are better suited for many of our needs than micro-blogging platforms, which seem to have more staying power for reasons I don't quite understand.
