A Hashtag is simply any word, phrase or abbreviation preceded by a pound sign (#). It's a way to show you're talking about a specific topic without using up too many of Twitter's precious 140 characters.

As you may have heard, a number of contributors in the Sakai community have begun talking about, and even working on, something being called Sakai 3. Sakai 3 would be a new version of Sakai representing significant change to the end-user experience and, likely, the underlying technology.

One of the most common scenarios for rapid elearning developers is to take an existing PowerPoint presentation and convert it to an "elearning course." Sometimes you get the luxury of meeting with the subject matter expert and then reworking the content to transform it from a presentation to an elearning course. However, there are many times when you have to take the content "as is" and then put it online. The subject matter expert's not too interested in reworking the content much.

Open teaching is described as the facilitation of learning experiences that are open, transparent, collaborative, and social. Open teachers are advocates of a free and open knowledge society, and support their students in the critical consumption, production, connection, and synthesis of knowledge through the shared development of learning networks.

If we find unequal uptake of these activities then such discrepancies imply the emergence of a two-tiered system where some people contribute to online content while others remain mere consumers of material. Those who share their content publicly have the ability to set the agenda of public discussions and debates.

As students continue to use Facebook to connect and communicate in increasing numbers, it has also become common for faculty members to consider the use of this social networking site to facilitate interaction in educational contexts. One of the perennial questions that arises is whether faculty should accept Facebook "friend requests" from students.

You get out of Twitter what you put into Twitter. When you come to Twitter, come prepared to share something. It doesn't have to be earth-shattering information. Just something, anything, that someone, somewhere, might want to see. Here's a novel approach to getting started with Twitter: expect nothing in return.

Many of us who integrate technology into our instruction have an especially difficult time staying focused on learning objectives and digging deeply enough for rigor, even if we don't like to admit it. It's the nature of our jobs. Since we work with entertaining, dynamic tools, it's too easy to become playful and veer off the track, overlooking the learning objectives.

A PLN isn't a particularly new idea; learning networks have existed for a long time. What's new is the reach and extent that's now possible for a PLN, with technology and global interconnectedness providing the opportunity for a much wider, richer and more diverse PLN than ever before.

Yes, if you're not concerned about editing your work, but just getting it out there, then that's right. YouTube is wonderfully simple and I have pined for a decent audio podcasting site, one that will store your media rather than just allow you to link to it (like Blogger).

3 weeks ago, my appreciation of the need to implement web 2.0 technologies into curriculum delivery was limited at best. I would not have considered myself IT illiterate - after all I was reasonably competent on Powerpoint and word processing, used Facebook, had a Flickr account and used I-tunes. Then I read Will Richardson's book for teachers on the Read/Write web and I had a 'Road to Damascus' experience!
