      This is where I came to when web 2.0 was repeated and I had no idea what it was. Wikipedia itself is a great example of web 2.0

  • Web 2.0 is about users and content instead of surfing on the Internet. It's more like what can the Internet do for me as a creator, a collaborator, an active participant,rather than a passive viewer of what is out there on the web.
  •  
    Well organized and packed with links that are beneficial for any teacher.

PBS Teachers | learning.now . Facing Up to Facebook | PBS - 0 views

  • At the University of North Carolina, for example, administrators created a pair of dummy Facebook profiles to demonstrate what can happen when students reveal too much information about themselves. These dummy personas, Ivana Bea Stalked and Lloyed Unemployed, reveal more info about themselves than you’d probably want to encounter, from their personal contact information to images of what they look like inebriated or in limited clothing.

      I need to look these profiles up... But, this is an interesting idea... How would we manage to train kids about this in their classes?
  • Last fall, Malavenda caught a group of students selling cocaine and kicked them off campus. In response, they started a Facebook group called “We hate Pablo,” complete with directions to his house and instructions to hurt and eliminate him.

      As a teacher, what am I responsible for "policing" if I am online and friends with various people? Suddenly my jurisdiction seems to be much broader than the classroom. To a certain extent, I know more about my students than their parents.
  • Or should schools stick to doing what they know best and leave it to higher ed to tackle these issues when students graduate and move on? The answer is probably somewhere in between. Schools, quite rightly, are concerned about online safety and student responsibility, yet it’s hard to teach proper behavior in a vacuum. Given the current environment, though, is it possible to craft the right kind of compromise and make it useful to students and teachers alike?

      We use moodle in our school, but we seem to have some problems with it (when accessing it from school). But, as the author pointed out in another article, students don't want another social network.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • The problem is that teachers and parents can’t join the students’ network. When I tried to create an account, it lasted 2 days before I was booted out. (The halls were plastered with signs: “Teachers on Facebook! Watch out!”) When I have contacted Facebook (repeatedly) they have denied me access, even when I have offered to identify myself as a teacher at the school with this account (i.e., a letter from my principal, my face on our school website, a photocopy of my driver’s license).
    • J J
       
      This is not my experience. I suspect this was an earlier version of Facebook, though.

PBS Teachers | learning.now . New NSBA Report on Social Networking | PBS - 0 views

  • Students aren’t just passive users of social media tools, either. One in five stated they post online comments on a daily basis, with 41 percent doing it at least weekly. Similarly, 22 percent of students admitted to uploading videos at some point, with nine percent claiming they do so on a weekly basis. And a whopping 30 percent of them publish their own blogs, with 17 percent of them updating them weekly.
