Virtual Englightenment - 2 views

  •  
    This excellent article examined the manner in which students of the 18th century enlightenment constructed a virtual reconstruction of various discussion venues in 18th century London. Having completed such a project allowed the students to gain insight into the manner in which social networking has been with us for quite some time and has been responsible for revolutionary associations. The authors suggest that the current climate of social networks may stimulate a similar dynamism in that the previous coffee shops, chocolate shops, pubs and taverns where great ideas were exchanged are now being replaced by chatrooms, Wikis and social websites, such as Facebook or Twitter.

Social Networking in the Classroom? - 4 views

Great blog Jamey! It emphasizes that the use of social networks in the classroom is not a simple black/white, good/bad, do/don't issue. As your last sentence mentions, it is so important that SNe...

A nice way to enlarge a PLN - 1 views

  •  
    This presentation does nothing more employ multi-media to list 18 names of individuals who are associated with the field of education in various manners.It is short and to the point. What is special, however, is that these 18 names are active members of blogs, wikis and a host of connections. Out of the 18 , I Googled 3 and was quickly transported to several presentations, links and information regarding Google Wave and the importance of using "Backchannels" in the classroom. When I was an undergraduate, I had a professor whose name was Robert Peck. He often commented that "like minds ought to form networks so as to be able communicate easily and often…but how do we make this happen?" Were he alive to see the connectedness of the Ed Tech community he would smile.

    Hey Dennis- I appreciate your posts. I'm an old basketball coach and, as such, not so cerebral, but I do try. I read the link with the research evaluating exemplary teachers vs their peers. Interesting work. When reading education research, it is the publishing dates I generally find discouraging. In this case, It is ten years later, have we really moved the ball on any of this? (That's a football coach reference, but, whatever). How many generations of students will pass before we begin to ensure they receive the education that might provide them advantage? Or will America be the lagging country-still presuming standardized tests are evidence of.....heck, anything. ts

The CMS and the PLN - 2 views

  •  
    This blog post compares and contrasts content management systems (CMS) and personal learning networks (PLN). The author has a clear and concise list of the advantages and disadvantages of both. The second idea of the blog is that people often set this up as a false choice: use advantages of a cms or don't. However, the author is seeking ways to integrate the best of both the cms and pln.
  •  
    Tom, do you have any ideas regarding how to integrate a PLN into a CMS?

    This site can be used to help students who are looking to attend a 4 year College find the right school. You will find that it has many search features and cool resources to help prospective college students refine their choice(s) of schools. These days researching schools is an educational experience.

PLE - VLE - 0 views

  •  
    I found this short video describing the difference between a PLE and a VLE. I thought it was appropriate for our discussion of PLE's, and PLN's. VLE is a virtual learning environment that allows people to share idea's and content virtually. The author's make a reference to using VLE's in a University environment, which seems to fit in perfectly with this module's discussions. They give wonderful examples of resources for research to social networking. I wonder if we are going to discuss VLE's this semester?

TweetEffect- When did you lose or gain twitter followers? - 5 views

  •  
    I've used a similar web service called Qwitter (http://useqwitter.com/). It requires you to create an account but you can set it up to email you when you lose a follower and you can even identify what your last tweet was before someone quit following you.
  •  
    Qwitter? lol I also found TweetReach http://tweetreach.com/ and thought it gave some interesting data on the extent of your outreach.

Demo: Creating CMS Content in LibreOffice - 0 views

  •  
    A couple of years ago I stumbled across this method of formatting text for closed web-based LMSs such as Blackboard or Sakai. I finally got around to creating a screencast. I'm sharing this here as this method is also useful for creating content for social network tools such as blogs or wikis. It isn't a substitute for learning HTML, but it's a quick and easy procedure that works as well as a lot of WYSIWYG editors.

    Nice! Chris Haskell just shared a similar tool last week (can't recall name, maybe writeon?) that let's you write or drawn on any webpage, as well as make notes. This tool seems to have more advanced social networking features, however.

How to protect your child from online bullies - CNN.com - 2 views

  • Susan Limber, a professor and bullying researcher at Clemson University, said in a presentation last year that parents and schools need to take time to make it clear that cyber bullying is just as wrong as face-to-face bullying.
  • Many students who know it's wrong to pick on a classmate in person may not realize that something done online can be just as hurtful, she said in the webcast for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
  • f a child reports being bullied online, the response of many parents is to take away the child's internet access as a way to protect them. This is the wrong approach, Limber said. "In the children's eyes, this can be seen as punishment, so it's another reason they tell us they don't report it," she said.

      As we introduced our students to learning online, how can we better equipped them to deal with cyber bullying?
