Twitter, pour construire son réseau (4/5) Twitter est un outil relationnel au fonctionnement unique qui crée une nouvelle proximité entre ses usagers. Celle-ci se situe a mi-chemin entre le chat et l’e-mail. Mais il y a quelques subtilités rituelles… Sur Twitter tout le monde lit mais la plupart du temps, personne ne se répond. Dans un premier temps, c’est assez intimidant de s’exprimer face à cette foule silencieuse et invisible. Mais pourtant l’un des principaux intérêts de Twitter est sa capacité à tisser des liens réels entre les personnes. sondages, interactions, animations 1- Entrez dans la conversation Plus vous vous intéresserez aux autres, plus ils s’intéresseront à vous. - Posez des questions, interpellez, publiez des sondages - Répondez aux gens, donnez votre avis (quand il est argumenté) - Relayez les articles des autres et pas que les vôtres (et de façon significative, pas anecdotique) - Rendez service ! Il règne sur Twitter un esprit individualiste, à la différence de l’entraide qui est courante dans les forums.

Presentation: The need for engagement in education (redux) Below is a ustream version of a short talk I did in the spring at TEDxOsaka. This repeats a lot of the stuff I (and many others) am always hammering on regarding school and the lecture approach to teaching. What's the use of lectures?

Twitter Search The need for connection & engagement in education Anyone who wants to make better presentations should be interested in how people learn. If you are interested in how people learn, you are obviously interested in education. And if you are interested in education, you surely have strong opinions about schools and other institutions of formal instruction and learning. As Sir Ken Robinson said in his first TED talk a few years ago, education is one of those things like religion and money that people have very strong opinions about. Few people think that the formal education systems around the world are perfect. "School sucks" Please set aside 30 minutes sometime to watch this talk by American Physicist Dr. Dr. Do they just sit there? Dr. Get them doing somethingIn the presentation Dr. Above: Although I am speaking in front of nearly 300 students in a large hall in Japan, I still have them get up and *do* something relevant from time to time.

Réseaux sociaux, nouvelles technologies, mobile et web sur Locita.com Blog Archive » Social School Design New learning spaces for a new generation During my recent stateside mini-tour I delivered a couple of sessions at the CEFPI World Conference for leading school design, in San Jose (got the highest feedback rating for all speakers—whoop whoop) plus an internal masterclass in Santa Monica for DLR Group, a school design architectural firm. Been thinking about this sector from a social media perspective ever since and wanted to offer a mind-dump of thoughts and insights plus some curated content to extend the conversation (note : for the purpose of this post school design means the physical buildings plus the pedagogical approaches in those spaces as well) : Social Media. Social media augments and embellishes your current operations. It’s a tool (or a set of) to not only save time and money but also to enable practitioners build better learning spaces. How? Conversational design Conversations drive social media spaces. Conversations drive design processes. All online. Technology Is Disappearing
Tumbup : découvrez votre sphère sociale (+ invitations) (modifié le 23 juin 2010 à 13:49) Tumbup (sans "h" attention) est un nouveau webservice français qui mise sur l'analyse de votre sphère sociale. Le système utilise le système de connexion OpenGraph de Facebook pour l'identification. 10 invitations en fin de billet pour découvrir le service. La recherche sémantique permet d'obtenir des résultats basés sur son graphe social. Si vous avez du mal à saisir le concept, imaginez simplement que Tumbup est une sorte de Google avec une dimension sociale. Même si je pense que le concept est un poil en avance sur son temps, les créateurs misent sur un marché encore relativement vierge et prometteur. Pour conclure J'apprécie particulièrement le moteur de recherche sémantique et j'ai hâte de suivre l'évolution du service. Le service étant encore en bêta, vous pouvez vous inscrire en utilisant le code d'inscription (limité à 10 inscriptions, premier arrivé premier servi: blogmotion

Supprimer son profil Facebook en un clic | L'Autre Média Kids Like Blues: Using Music and Video to Rock Your Classroom When I started playing blues songs for my first grade students, I never imagined I was introducing a fantastic launching point for thematic, standards-based teaching. We soon formed The Kids Like Blues Band, and since last March we've used blues songs as a springboard for teaching academic content standards in reading, writing, listening, speech, social studies, technology, and the visual and performing arts. So far we've played at a street fair, for staff and students at the Cal State San Marcos College of Education, and even live on local TV news and KPBS TV. We're a real band, and the students are fully engaged, learning and rocking! Happy to Sing the Blues How does this method work? Lyrics are practiced daily in large and small groups to get the correct pitch, modulation, tone, syllabication, meter and phrasing. Last spring, Professor of Education Dr. Our blues band has provided my students with a creative outlet to apply, question, evaluate and utilize their knowledge.
