Tsuchi Jones's List: ETEC 511

• eractive, and dynamic. Further definitions of Web 2.0 can be found in Wikipedia, expanded by the advent of personal learning environments which is defined as: systems that help learners take control of and manage their own learning. This includes providing support for learners to set their own learning goals,manage their learning; managing both content and process,communicate with others in the process of learning, and thereby achieve their learning goals.
• Twine is defined as a semantic web or web 3.0 tool, given that I started a bit of web search to identify a definition of those
• Semantics is the study of meaning.
• Semantics: is of or relating to meaning, especially meaning in language
• Semantic Web is an evolving development of the World Wide Web in which the semantics of information and services on the web is defined, making it possible for the web to understand and satisfy the requests of people and machines to use the web content
• A Semantic Web Primer by Grigoris Antoniou, Frank Van Harmelen available in Google Books.
• it’s a great resource to aggregate pages of interest for a group or team; you can all add to a twine or have the twine aggregate from keywords or many other options.
• as long as the guidelines for suitable content are explicitly defined there should be no problem: the comment system combine with individual aggregation of pertinent topics seems like something conducive to focused topical learning.
• Twine was first rolled out in October 2007 as a semantic bookmarking tool by Radar Networks.
• You can join or establish your own threads, or “twines,” centered around specific ideas (”social media”), people (”Barack Obama”), and events

   

  Users fill them with content found around the Web.

   

  The site then tracks the articles they add and the topics they follow, and assembles an interest-based personality profile.

   

  Based on what Twine learns about you and the users in your shared Twine…, it sends you news and friend recommendations
• Ultimately this started as a quest to determine the application of Twine to education..I can see that Twne maybe used for adding content to courses, collabortion and communcation by students a well as bringing experts into the discussion. I am sure I will be writing more on Twine in the future.
