NEA - Online Social Networking for Educators - 0 views

  •  
    it's one-stop shopping, since social networking sites are really just aggregates of Web technologies we've all grown accustomed to using.

Inflection Points | the human network Mark Pesce - 0 views

    Mark Pesce's blog post"...these educational institutions assert that the lectures themselves aren't the real reason students spend $50,000 a year to attend these schools; the lectures only have full value in context. This is true, but it discounts the possibility that some individuals or group of individuals might create their own context around the lectures. And this is where the future seems to be pointing...."

    "...The network is acting like a universal solvent, dissolving all of the boundaries that have kept things separate. It's not just dissolving the boundaries of distance - though it is doing that - it's also dissolving the boundaries of preference. Although there will always be differences in taste and delivery, some instructors are simply better lecturers - in better command of their material - than others..."

  • The brainchild of former Goldman Sachs investment banker Gina Bianchini and celebrity geek Marc Andreessen, Ning has been growing automagically from the moment it launched its Social Networks for Everything -- a free platform for do-it-yourself social networks -- in February of last year.

Here Are The Results From My PLN Survey! | Mobile Technology in TAFE - 0 views

  •  
    "I've been doing a few presentations on building your own personal learning network (PLN) and wanted to demonstrated the power of a PLN in action. My focus on PLNs was for two main reasons: 1. If our aim is to use online tools with our students we first need to be using these tools for our own learning to appreciate how they benefit our learning and to ensure we use them effectively with our students 2. Ability to receive and give advice in our normal f2f interactions is mostly limited. Personal learning networks greatly enhance our ability to get assistance, increase our learning, reflection and innovation. "

  •  
    "I stumbled across Classroom 2.0 after reading an interesting article in the Village Voice on innovating learning efforts in the New York City Public Schools. These schools, instead of keeping kids out of social networking spaces and prohibiting the use of cell phones, were teaching kids how to use technology in an effective and relevant way."

The Fischbowl: I Just Want to Say One Word to You: Collaboration. - 0 views

  •  
    "If you're a teacher, what are you doing to foster collaboration among your students? And I'm talking more than putting them into groups of four and having the students create a PowerPoint presentation together. What are you really doing to fundamentally change the structure of your classroom from one of isolation (do your own work), to one of collaboration (work with others)? What are you doing to build their skills to succeed in a corporate environment that requires them to collaborate on a global scale? If you're a student, what are you doing to improve your own collaboration skills - and those of your peers? What are you demanding of your schools, your teachers, your administrators to help prepare you for the collaborative marketplace that is your future?"
