Archives and resources from the "Twitter in Edu" webinar that discuss engaging students with Twitter and implementing various platforms into your classroom and curriculum.
CIDER is research initiative supported by Athabasca University - Canada's Open University. (Terry Anderson, the author of one of our Module 1 readings, is at Athabasca U.) The Special Interest Groups area of the website includes SIGs on E-Portfolios, Virtual Communities, etc. It's in its infancy, so now's the time to get involved!
I faced an internet connection issue, and this article shows how Twitter can be a reliable tool even when there is no connection, as students can receive messages to their phone. I thought it would be interesting to see how Twitter is being used in the Arab world academia
I've been looking for ways that my Writing Center can offer synchronous online tutoring. Etherpad is a free, open source tool that I looked at, and Pirate Pad is one free site that uses it. It's neat and easy to use. Open a Pirate Pad, give the person a link, and you're off!
ReadWriteWeb published this list in August of 2010 - interesting and I can definitely see the potential in the tools and tech they featured!
I'll be looking into Wikispaces, VoiceThread, and SlideShare which I have not previously heard about.
