85+ Resources: Educator Guide for Integrating Social Media. I hope this post will be a handy reference guide, especially for those teachers new to social media technologies and how to integrate them into the classroom.
This resource is by no means exhaustive, but it’s a good starting point for finding the information and people that will help you make the transition into a ’21st century learning environment’. I intend for this to be a wikipost (I will update resources as they are shared with me by others), so feel free to bookmark the page and check in periodically for new material. Enjoy. Instructional Technology. How Technology Can Transform Education. As co-founder and CEO of Sun Microsystems, one of the predominant companies of the first Internet boom, Scott McNealy was a huge proponent of open source software.
Since leaving Sun in 2010, McNealy has turned his focus to the world of education through non-profit Curriki.org and startup Wayin. The former was started inside Sun, applying open source principles to the world of education, creating a wiki environment for teaching materials for K-12 classes. The latter is a Q&A platform that can be utilized by teachers to create a more interactive learning environment. Last week, McNealy went to CES to keynote the HigherEdTECH Summit to talk about how technology can transform the education space.
