What is one of my key resources when it comes to finding great classsroom resources – ‘Twitter’.
Prior to the summer break, Twitter became a real main stay in my daily routine. I would set aside (if I could) 15 to 20 minutes and check out what the educational technology guru’s were talking about for the day. My recommendations for following someone on Twitter:
Steven Anderson – Twitter name is web20classroom. Steven is a phenomenal resource person with many ideas and links to check out. He also has a website which is – http://web20classroom.blogspot.com/p/about-me.html
Jerry Blumengarten – Twitter name is cybraryman1. Jerry is another great resource person. Jerry has a page for just about anything related to technology and education. He also has his own website – http://www.cybraryman.com/
For those of you who have questions about a particular piece of software and a Web Tool 2.0, a good place to start looking is at – http://www.educause.edu/ELI7Things. This is a site from Educause – Learning Initiative where part of the site has the “7 Things You Should Know About …..” You will find on this page that there are four pages total for 2011. However, if you do a search using the search tool at the top of the page and type in, for example, facebook pdf – it will bring up a two page PDF that includes:
A classroom scenario
What it is?
Who’s doing it?
How does it work?
Why is it significant?
What are the downsides?
Where is it going?
What are the implications for teaching and learning?
Here is an example of the two page PDF that you will find for Facebook – click on the following link FacebookPDF.pdf
