Dr. Rankin, professor of History at UT Dallas, wanted to know how to reach more students and involve more people in class discussions both in and out of the classroom. She had heard of Twitter... She collaborated with the UT Dallas, Arts and Technology - Emerging Media and Communications (EMAC) http://www.emac.utdallas.edu faculty and as a Graduate student in EMAC I assisted her in her experiment.

"In February 2011 I started participating in something called the Daily Shoot, in which amateur photographers were encouraged to complete a photography assignment sent out via Twitter each morning. Photos uploaded to Flickr and tagged appropriately were aggregated on the Daily Shoot website, where I had a lot of fun seeing how others interpreted each day's assignment. I'm a much more creative photographer because of my participation in the Daily Shoot."

"There are over 7 billion photos on Flickr, and, more importantly, many of them are (a) pretty good photos and (b) licensed under Creative Commons. The latter is important because in the United States when you take a photo, you get the copyright to that photo. That means if you want to use a photo you find online somewhere (perhaps using a Google image search), you need to contact the person who took that photo and get permission... unless that person has released the photo under Creative Commons, in which case you can use it without asking!"

"There is a fine line between bolstering your professional image, or that of your business, and coming across as self-absorbed and narcissistic -- hence the seemingly black-and-white nature of self-promotion."

Imodesty thrives on Facebook and Twitter because they enable what social scientists call self-enhancement - the human tendency to oversell ourselves.

"In collaboration with a wide range of educational organizations and educators, the Connected Educators project is increasing the quality, accessibility, and connectedness of existing and emerging online communities of practice."

"Key criteria for selecting the content I share. Relevant Offers benefit to audience Unique perspective Not already written or said by a million others in the same way. Timely Accurate From a trusted source Data sources are backed up and cited."

"Posters are a great way to catch students attention  and stimulate their learning drive . When used on the classroom wall for everyone  to look at whenever they are at your class, then you can have better chances that students will grasp what those posters communicate to them."

"This project addresses the Friday Institute's goals of developing innovative teacher professional development practices and resources and improving 21st century teaching and learning. FIZZ will be an ongoing service offered and managed by the Friday Institute."

"On page 175 of the document, I included a simple diagram titled "The Networked Teacher". It was produced to support my discovery of emerging teacher networks supported by the advancement of social software. Of any idea in the dissertation, this particular theory and diagram may have had the greatest appeal, especially to those who were experiencing this phenomenon. The diagram has been reused, remixed, redistributed and used in hundreds of presentations by educators around the world. Below, I have included the evolution of a simple diagram as evidenced by several linguistic translations and a video inspired by the concept."

Cool example of the power of openness, and how ideas can be remixed for different contexts when the proper copyright licensing is applied from the get-go.
