Mashpedia could be a great resource for a current events class. By offering video and image results, Mashpedia provides materials that can be accessed by almost all students regardless of reading level. By listing links from multiple sources students can quickly compare news stories to what real people are saying about a story.Mashpedia is also useful as a starting place in a student's quest for multimedia resources about a reference topic such as Winter Olympics or World War II.

Why Social Media Doesn't Matter Anymore | Small Business Marketing Blog from Duct Tape ... - 1 views
-
I like reading marketing blogs because they focus on communicating and building support for new ideas--sounds a lot like technology integration and education in general. Consider this revised quote from the bookmarked blog post: "The reason social media doesn't matter is because, upon further review, it doesn't exist beyond a label. While all the categorizing, classifying and departmentalizing was going on, that which was called social media simply settled into the center of [learning] and [instructional] strategy and behavior. Everything that we called social media is irrelevant and mislabed - there's a new way of doing [teaching] and [learning] for sure, but it's a behavior and focus on [student] involvement that's become a new norm - and that's all there is to it. We don't need social media tools, social media plans, social media agencies, or social media departments, we need [instructional] strategies and [practices] that are informed by a terribly heightened [learner] expectation."
