Calling All Cars! Calling All Cars! I Need Some Advice From My Posse!

I need advice from my posse and I need it right away!

I've been asked to speak to a group of college profs in about 10 days. They want to hear about no more than FIVE emerging technologies that support online learning.

This is a wonderful opportunity to make an impact… Continue

I like Diigo because the opportunity to mark up and comment on web content is such a useful tool for collaborative research with my A level groups. I tend to use delicious for my personal bookmarking and Diigo for student specific projects. This helps me keep a gap between my own learning platform and my delivery. With Diigo I can fire out a reading assignment to a group - they all mark up the text and I can monitor and oversee their annotations and add my own. Great stuff.

As for Flickr, there's so much you can do - digital storytelling, it's a great source for learning about Creative Commons and attribution which is of course a key digital literacy skill. Students can mock up magazine covers, illustrate poems, create a montage of shared class images etc.

In both cases, the tools really emphasize that web 2.0 technology allows for creation as well as consumption of content. I hope that helps - any more specific info needed, please feel free to come back to me :)

Podcasting-- Odeo (but no longer accepting uploads), Gcast (but no longer free), and now Yodio. Still looking at other options.
I like Twitter for asking and answering questions and offering and receiving suggestions. I also find out about new websites, videos, presentations. I also appreciate the camaraderie.

I have made it to NZ. We are pretty much settled in and enjoying the perfect summer days we have had for the last 2 weeks (a big improvement compared to Scotland).

However internet access is not set up at home yet. A technician is due come by on January 7. I will let you know when my connection to the outside world is on again.

With my best wishes for 2008

There are several different programs that I am a part of here in good ol' Central Oregon...the most exciting of which is called StepOne Online for Parents. As a Director of Mentor Research Institute and Chief Advocate for this program I have opened many exciting doors of opportunity. 2008 will be a real tipping point year for us so the need for someone like you to help direct and build a story of well planed success is obvious. We are pregnant with potential that will flower with the right team of support. My 40th is scheduled for this summer....Kevin@MentorResearch.org will leap frog this site and may be alot easier to continue the conversation. Do you have a web page that describes what you do?

All the Best
Kevin~
