How a 40,000+ Employee Company Trains its Employees on Social Media - 2 views

  •  
    The 40,000+ person company makes social media training mandatory for its employees and formalized a policy of "3Rs" - responsibility, respect and representation. Taking things a step further, today the company is trying something about as transparent as it gets - publishing their entire social media training guide online, so that anyone can check it out, learn and critique.

    I just looked at this site and definitely should be on all the syllabus to help studnets who are writing papers or doing project. i just emailed this to the 3 graduate students who are working on research projects with me.

    I agree, Dr. Hardin. These tools should be integrated into classrooms. It's an example of 'social bookmarking' but targets the academic environment with the citation formatting. I'd like to compare Diigo with CiteULike. I imagine all students could benefit from some sort of collaborative bookmarking or bibliography building. Especially if the instructor is participating and supportive. But which tool is the best? Or which one should we recommend?
  •  
    I'm no expert but think social bookmarking and CiteULike could be used very differently. For the CiteULike repository I worked with students on last year, it was a compilation of about 500 references (not URLs - they were sorting through the literature/evidence for health IT evaluation studies. We worked in EndNote first and then after many iterations, uploaded the EndNote file to CiteULike. That seems fairly different (to me at least) from the kinds of things we are doing here in Diigo. In theory, I guess you could use them both for similar things, but I would save CiteULike for referencing/citations and Diigo for web sites. Just my $.02

    You got it exactly right, Linda. CiteULike for referencing / citations and Diigo for websites. The concept is similar: People sharing resources which helps to discover trends and eliminate redundancy. EndNote (a supported tool at DUKE), CiteUlike, and Zotero (http://www.zotero.org/) fall into citation management and sharing. Delicious and Diigo can be categorized as website sharing. It would be great if BOTH these ways to share caught on and were used in our schools. But, how would we prove they were effective?

    Linda! That sounds really neat, I'd be interested in hearing more about your EndNote/CiteULike class assignment. Could be a great Featured Tool scenario! Neat stuff.

No Really, Why Teach in Second Life? | The Sloan Consortium - 0 views

  •  
    Highlights the tendency to recreate the victorian, traditional classroom in Second Life and offers some quick examples of alternative experience
  •  
    "Second life does provide social presence through the avatars we use, lots of opportunities for role play (let's face it, it is at a minimum a role play game), and yes it is immersive, allowing you to experience human from inside the cell walls or visit a detailed simulation of the Cistine Chapel. But the real power of Second Life as a virtual venue for your teaching and learning is the ability to translate real content into something really exciting and powerful. That of course is where the difficulty lies isn't it?"

ISTE | Toys to Tools - 1 views

  •  
    Toys for Tools discuses how to enhance learning by using the powerful technology of cell phones both inside and outside the classroom. Many, if not most, educators view cell phones as the enemy. Author Liz Kolb sees them as powerful technology in the hands of students. Acknowledging the current reality-at many schools ban student cell phone use in the classroom-Kolb discusses a host of innovative and highly interesting uses for the technology that do not require using the phones in the classroom. She also addresses the issues that have caused the bans and provides guidelines for overcoming the problems.
