The natives aren't quite so restless - 0 views

  •  
    If we are to equip students to navigate a digital world, education ought to be based on assessing students' individual strengths and weaknesses rather than making glib generalisations that mistake using Facebook for technological savvy.

More Adults Than Ever on Social Networks - 0 views

  •  
    You may think that many adults have joined the online trend mainly to network professionally with others in their field. However, that turns out not to be true. Instead adults, like teens, are there to socialize with their friends and people they already know. Nearly nine in ten social network users (89%) say they use the networks to stay in touch with friends, and 57% say they use it to make plans with friends. Under half (49%) use the sites to make new friends.

Crowdsourcing in the Small - 0 views

  •  
    Instead, what I see happening is being done on smaller scales. It's individual concept workers reaching out to other people (known or not known), through networks or social media, to get help with their particular needs.

  •  
    Apparently Baby Boomers aren't exactly the technology Luddites that people think they are. In fact, more than 60 percent of those in this generational group actively consume socially created content like blogs, videos, podcasts, and forums.

Learning & Social Networks - Rise of the Personal Learning Network - 0 views

  •  
    Networked teachers began to use a number of types of tools and connected well beyond what was normal within a "typical" teacher network. Teachers are not just connected WITH these tools, they are connected THROUGH these tools to other humans. The most important part of PLNs, in my opinion, is how they can help us connect to other humans, to help us better understand the world, to negotiate knowledge and meaning, and of course, to help us to learn.
