The Student Affairs Technology Unconferences | EDUniverse. On August 3, 2012 I was feeling on top of the world. I had just completed hosting the second Student Affairs Technology Unconference in Boston (with the huge help of Kat Cornetta, Kenn Elmore, and Lisa Endersby) and was giving my friend, and closing keynote speaker, Tom Krieglstein a ride from Boston University to South Station to catch a bus back to New York.
We were processing the Unconference experience, when Tom asked me a key question: “So Ed, what’s next?” At the time, I shared that my thoughts focused on another Unconference in Boston for 2013, to which Tom said (in only the way he can do): “Time to think bigger, Ed!” I dwelled on that idea for a while. I reflected back on why I started “SA Tech Boston”: 1. Over the month of August had follow up conversations with folks on their Unconference experiences and what advice they had for me. Currently, this is the confirmed summer schedule as I know it (so far): 1.
This is just the beginning and where I’m asking for YOUR help: 1. Top Ed-Tech Trends of 2012: The Platforming of Education. Part 8 of my Top Ed-Tech Trends of 2012 series An Introductory Sidenote In late 2007, Web browser pioneer, entrepreneur, and now venture capitalist Marc Andreessen wrote a really great blog post about Internet platforms. When I decided I’d write about education platforms as one of my Top Ed-Tech Trends, I immediately searched for it.
I had only a vague recollection of what Andreessen had written. But I figured it’d give a good definition of Internet platforms and be an interesting frame for what I wanted to say about the “platforming of education. " Because, ya know, it’s Marc Andreessen. (Link to Wikipedia entry, in case you don’t know.) Slight problem: some time in 2009, Andreessen deleted most of his blog posts, including that one. So a shout-out of thanks here to the folks who archived much of the site. Defining the Education Platform Marc Andreesen offered a good definition of platforms in a 2007 post titled “The Three Kinds of Platforms You Meet on the Internet”: Education APIs. TodaysMeet.

The Real Revolution Is Openness, Clay Shirky Tells Tech Leaders - Wired Campus. Denver — Clay Shirky is one of the country’s most prominent Internet thinkers—“a spiritual guide to the wired set,” as The Chronicle Review put it in a 2010 profile of him. In his latest book, Cognitive Surplus, the New York University professor argues that a flowering of creative production will arise as the Internet turns people “from consumers to collaborators.”
On Wednesday, Mr. Shirky took that message to a group of higher-education-technology leaders who have been buffeted by a rapidly evolving ed-tech landscape. Mr. Among his most vivid examples was the tale of the mathematician Timothy Gowers and the “quiet revolution” that began after Mr. The big theme of Mr. “There’s all kinds of hidden value in our systems which you can’t even understand until you open them up to see what people do with them,” Mr. Mr. Return to Top.

I wrote my first in-depth post covering Twitter in March 2007 saying that Twitter would be the “message heard around the world.” Since then, we learned that Twitter has become a human seismograph where news no longer breaks it tweets . We learned to speak in 140 characters or less. We’ve witnessed Tweets erupt into revolutions . Hashtags are now a way of life. And, we now live in a world where if it wasn’t tweeted, it didn’t happen. Life unfolds in a digital river where experiences and common interests are the ties that bind us .
Unlike so many trendy services and apps that have come and gone, the Twitter Paradox continues to defy itself and also our expectations (and predictions) to bring the world closer together one Tweet and RT at a time. Speaking of Tweets and RT’s, Twitter announced, via a Tweet of course, that the company only continues to gain greater momentum as the hub of our digital culture . So how does that compare to other emerging networks? A Student Affairs Technology Plan | On The Go With Ed Cabellon. This post is a call to action for all Student Affairs administrators in Higher Education As 2013 approaches, can we all agree that technology (its uses, application and function) are core to our work in some way, shape or form? While I am currently writing a follow up post to my original “Student Affairs Social Media Plan”, I think its time we expanded the paradigm and look at technology as the overall arching umbrella, with Social Media being part of the equation.
Today’s post are recommendations on how I would (and currently do) tackle technology in my daily work in Higher Education and how you can make in immediate impact in your respective area.

Technology | Duke Student Affairs. Western Governors University – Measurable Academic Innovation Success, Enabled by Technology. This is the second in a series of articles celebrating educational institutions that have achieved proven, measurable success with the integration of technology into their instructional processes. This week we look at Western Governors University and the empirical evidence that demonstrates how this technology-enabled academic institution has been an outstanding model of innovation. The Back Story WGU is a non-profit online educational institution chartered in 1996 by a coalition of 19 United States Governors seeking to address rapid population growth and confronted by limited public funds for educational services.
The governors enlisted the Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education and the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems to help design the newly envisioned university.

Cogs of the Cognitive Processes I began to think about the triangular shape of Bloom's Taxonomy and realized I thought of it a bit differently.Since the cognitive processes are meant to be used when necessary, and any learner goes in and out of the each level as they acquire new content and turn it into knowledge, I created a different type of image that showcased my thoughts about Bloom's more meaningfully.Here is my visual which showcases the interlocking nature of the cognitive processes or, simply, the "Cogs of the Cognitive Processes".

Optimize Online: Funding your next big idea « Student Launcher. Picture this: You and some friends are hanging out on a random Tuesday night. Maybe you were watching a movie, or playing Apples to Apples. Jokes were flying, laughter was aplenty, and suddenly your conversation is geared towards some amazing idea. Maybe it’s a pizza conveyor belt, or an idea for a television series starring your best friend as the silly super hero.
Even better, perhaps you have all thought of some way to better improve your community through a potential organization or community clean up project. You plan, you dream big, you high five your creativity. But what happens the next morning?

Student Launcher is special because it focuses on the ideas and projects of students. The only question now is what can you dream up?
