"Where do you learn?":Tweeting to Inform Learning Space Developmet - 1 views

    I somewhat facetiously posted in my class introduction that I would not be "tweetered". I felt it only fair that I should begin my study on a topic for which I have distrust. This article did present an interesting and creative use of Twitter. The applicationn provided the means to accurately record data by having subjects record actions in real time (by tweeting). This gives the observer more accurate information, as there is no need for the subject to recall and reconstruct occurrences from memory. This research was directed toward a broader end of understanding the role of informal learning, the authors called these "learnscapes" as opposed to classroom learning. The lingering impression for me is the creativity in which technology is being applied in support of the redefinition and understanding of learning. It's why I believe this is actually one of the most interesting times to be an educator.

    Timothy, glad to see you start your study with Twitter :) I agree with you- this is an interesting application of Twitter for educational purposes. I can also see some possible spin offs that could be used in my institutional setting. We have students who are off campus all over the world during their last term of chiropractic school. Perhaps they could Twitter about what patient conditions they treat each day and post links to where they found information supporting evidence-based practice for those conditions.

    This article describes what social networking is and why teachers should use it in schools. It brings up a lot of good questions about how social networking can be used in the classroom. The article also addresses a lot of the issues involved in bringing this type of technology into the classroom.

    I know this article has already been posted, but I did find some things in it very interesting. First off, the article gives us a good definition on what social networking is. They define it as any software that allows people to come together around an idea or topic of interest. This gives is a good insight that is is not just a simple chat site. Secondly, they pose a great question, "How do you keep students from wasting time chatting or sneaking to inappropriate sites?" I love their answer, "You teach!" I don't think I really need to go into that any more. If the teacher is teaching, and the students are engaged, this shouldn't be an issue at all.

    Hi Jodie, how might you see yourself using the information in this article for your personal teaching/learning situation?

    Jodie, I especially enjoyed reading your post because it correlates with my the topic that I just posted. I liked the reference to renaming social networking to academic networking. I do feel that high school is a great place to start fostering learning with creative online social networking technology. I would like to incorporate a global social network with my ELL students. Thanks for sharing your post. Brenda

    The term "academic networking" does have a more scholarly/work-like tone to it... Is this good or bad? Has anyone seen this term used elsewhere?

    There is a neat video in this blog that explains a PLN's in a really simple way. Very creative and informative.

    Abigail- I like this simple, concise definition of a PLN- "the entire collection of people with whom you engage and exchange information, usually online." Also, the description at the end of a video regarding the role of the instructor in this type of learning- "learning architect, modeler, learning concierge (I especially like this one!), network sherpa" etc.

    Abigail, I am a big fan of the Keep it Simple concept. I do not think that social learning is complicated, in fact I think it allows students to individuate and respond to questions more easily than in a classroom setting. The instructor is an important facilitator in this process because they can structure the learning to meet the needs of the learner and class. Thanks for sharing your post. Brenda
