    Gamification, including examples from Nike, health month (the game), Khan academy, Nissan's MyLeaf, the email game, etc. Great quote "Games are the only force in the known universe that can get people to take actions against their self-interest, in a predictable way, without using force." Zichermann Great slideshare, but time consuming.

  • Call it penance. Detox. I stop gazing at screens. Five days with no tweets. No Zelda. No email. No RSS. I jettison the barriers - the screens, the earbuds, the chatter. I disconnect to reconnect with the non-virtual world I inhabit. Recalibrate. Reevaluate "productive." Embrace silence. Ride my bike. Build towers for the joy of knocking them down. Pay attention.

    Pretty good work-life balance piece.

  • “The key thing is to use existing architecture where possible. Institutions develop institutionalized approaches. Like locking themselves into inefficient, inappropriate and expensive software systems,” says Worth “Twitter granted me access to the discourses that I wanted to listen to, learn from, and engage with.”

      This is the money quote and one to think about as we adopt various technologies for teaching and learning.
  • “That ideological program is pushing an out-moded model of learning, where more time in the classroom listening to a teacher’s broadcast is the goal. Thinking creatively about teaching demands an emphasis on engagement. Leveraging social media technologies to extend learning beyond the classroom is central to engagement.”
  • The classes are centered around experimentation with – and use of – social media tools, because Worth believes them essential to his students’ future career. In the internet age, the photographer is not only a producer, they are also distributor and publisher. Getting the University to adopt services like Flickr, Soundcloud, Audioboo, Twitter and Google Docs was essential to eliminate any barriers to entry, but it was a difficult battle to wage.

  • Worth uses Twitter as “a listening device” and a means “to tune the network.”

    A lot to think about here - How the practice of so many disciplines are changing due to changes in media How open Education doesn't just mean some pages put up on the web - Actually open people, not just open content. How the existing communications systems out there are the fertile ground that communities of practice sprout from, not institutional management systems. The future will be found at the confluence of these trends.

    Interesting view on the nearly impossible job of copyright enforcement on the Internet. I don't like that copyright gets violated, but I also am not sure I like these tactics.

    Nothing too interesting here, but the instructions for resetting a chromebook so it can have a new "owner" is valuable.

    Thank you, Emily ... this is a great resource!

    Very nice! Emily, does Zotero now work with resources behind PSU authentication? I tried to use it a couple years ago with little luck. I typically use Google Scholar, then hit the "Get it from Penn State" link(s). Once I landed on a resource, Zotero had trouble saving it.

    "Hoping to give its users a more intimate way to stay in touch, Facebook on Wednesday introduced video chatting inside its online social network through a deal with Skype, the Internet calling service. "

    Interesting partnership between two communication giants. Much of the rest of the article discusses this as a counter-attack on Google+. Honestly, this must have been in the works for a while, but it's also okay if it is true. When companies feel the need to innovate to stay competitive, users win.
