Culture Flickr:Anna Briggs Educators are finding ways to leverage social media sites like Facebook with learning. By Aran Levasseur We are witnessing the emergence of something profound: Humans, historically divided by geography, culture and creed, are beginning to connect and collaborate on a scale never seen before. What starts out as social networking is evolving into social production.

In spite of all the potential to innovate surrounding blogs, forums, wikis and social networks, there are legions of detractors. Granted, not every use of social media is remarkable. “Educators ought to be asking what social dimensions of learning might be enhanced by using these tools and networks?” Writing initially emerged as a form of record keeping in Mesopotamia.

Ebook checkouts may be cannibalizing hard copy checkouts — but if that means more people are reading books, the library is doing its job. Can a $35 Tablet Be as Effective a Learning Tool as an iPad? Digital Tools Ubislate When Amazon unveiled its new Android tablet, the Kindle Fire last month, analysts said that its price could well make it a viable competitor to the wildly successful iPad.

Indeed, while the iPad has ignited great interest in tablet computing, particularly in schools, that interest has really just been interest in iPads. The Kindle Fire’s price ($199) is a lot cheaper than the iPad (which starts $499). But the price tag of the Amazon tablet still makes it a luxury item (albeit a less expensive one) and still puts it out of reach for many students. Two new tablet alternatives were announced last week that make those prices seem absolutely exorbitant.

“The intent is to start a price war. The I-slate will be an electronic version of the hand-held blackboard slates used by many school children around the world. Promises of these sorts of low-costs devices — under development or in production — have been ongoing for a while now. Clearly this is no iPad. Related.
