edutwist.com - teaching and technology » What’s your point?
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.
The Fischbowl: My Personal Learning Network in Action

My first 14 days in the Blogosphere
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!

Is Facebook a Cult?
A theory: Facebook management is acting like a group of cult leaders intent on changing the rest of us into more social, less private people than we might want to be. Maybe all social networking services are trying to do that - but the way Facebook is going about it feels particularly cult-like.

Time for audio?
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).

Intellectual Property Policies, E-Llearning, and Web 2.0: Intersections and Open Questions
This ECAR research bulletin focuses on institutional intellectual property (IP) policy related to instructional products and systems generally and to e-learning specifically. It contrasts IP policies that apply in face-to-face instructional settings with those in e-learning environments, and it highlights the role that Web 2.0 applications play in those policies.
The Delicious Library
I’m going to explore taxonomy vs. folksonomy, specifically, tagging on delicious.com and how tagging organizes the web. Bush mentions in his essay the idea of sharing associative trails.
Facebook: To Friend or Not to Friend?
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.
