Transforming failing Public Schools: closing the achievement gap Los argentinos, quintos en el uso de redes sociales Los argentinos están entre los usuarios de Internet más adeptos a las redes sociales. Una investigación sobre hábitos online que abarcó países de América, Europa, Africa, Asia y Oceanía, ubicó a los argentinos en el quinto puesto entre los que más utilizan esas redes. Preguntados sobre la utilización de redes sociales, un 62% de los argentinos con acceso a Internet afirmó usar alguna. En la lista general, por encima de los argentinos sólo quedaron los internautas de Turquía, con un 73%, seguidos por los de Malasia (69%), los tailandeses (67 %) y los de Hong Kong (63 %). La investigación fue llevada a cabo por la consultora TNS, e implicó unas 50.000 entrevistas a usuarios de Internet de 46 países. En el caso de la Argentina, esta investigación le pone números a un fenómeno comunicativo muy notable en los últimos meses. Para Constanza Cilley, gerente general de TNS Argentina, “la alta participación en redes sociales es una clara prueba de que la Web 2.0 vino para quedarse”.
Personal learning environment | online learning insights This post explores Personal Learning Portfolios [PLPs], an extension of a Personal Learning Environment. I review briefly PLPs for professionals, but focus on the potential and promise that PLPs hold for our students. I wrote recently about Personal Learning Environments [PLE], Personal Learning Networks [PLN] and the need for educators to develop both as a means to support their professional and personal growth and learning. A PLE can be viewed as a system that is built on the concept of creating a personalized framework for learning, tailored to one’s goals and interests. Personal Learning Portfolios for Professionals Both posts generated meaningful discussion— with many comments coming from participants in the Education Technology & Media course (#ETMOOC). The topic of the course last week was ‘connected learning’, and discourse focused on PLEs and PLNs. “….my “hub” all of my digital work [this educator uses her blog as her 'hub', a platform for her portfolio].

Overwhelmed? Welcome the Age of Curation | Epicenter Forrester Research analyst Sarah Rotman Epps coined a phrase Friday for something many have been talking about since Apple launched the iPad about six weeks ago. “Curated computing” refers to the way Apple staff examines each piece of software written for iPhone OS devices before allowing it into (or blocking it from) the App Store. Epps is almost certainly not among the first 10,000 people on the planet to observe that the iPhone OS does not allow users to install whatever programs they wish, unless the devices are jailbroken. For that reason, it’s tempting to write off her coinage as an attention-grabbing rehash of a well-worn meme — especially because she plans to take this show on the road at conferences to talk about this observation. However, Epps is onto something with this word, curated. Curation is the positive flip side of Apple’s locked-down approach, decried as a major, negative development in computing by many observers, present company included. For example: See Also:

Connecting Content Curation with Your Personal Learning Network | SparkWorks At ASTD TechKnowledge 2014, David Kelly gave a presentation on curation called “Putting Curation to Work at Your Organization”. Curation is the process by which individuals gather, analyze and share out information in the digital era. David does a great job of speaking to these core points in his presentation, which he has also shared on Slideshare. Curation and Your PLN The notion of a PLN, or, personal learning network, is at the forefront of professional development in the digital era. In the curation process, the resources must be: Critically appraised – but analysis is limited when it happens in a vacuum! Arguably, a professional learner should be trusted to critically appraise and refine the resources to their own context. When we curate content within our PLN, the learner gains further refinement of ideas that may be gained only by participating in community” PLN Brings Professionalism to the Curation Process One mark of a true professional is the ongoing ability to grow and share.
Why Content Curation is the new Blogging « (clicca qui per la traduzione in italiano) During these days I’m questioning myself about today’s online media industry recurring topic of discussion: the so-called content curation. The term itself can be identified with the concept of “caring about content.” This concept, obviously, can be investigated from a variety of viewpoints: it revolves around manipulating information, news, contents available online to a new form with sensibly higher ambitions in terms of vision, lifecycle and usefulness. It’s about producing contents that, on average, are well worth an enhanced amount of attention respect to the so-called “world buzz,” the avalanche of information micro-bits, we receive daily from the Internet through social media, blogs, online newspapers, and sometimes and unfortunately from content farms. On a more operational level, an interesting definition that you can find online follows (from here) Will this newsroom see his fate in an editorial room of a newspaper agency? Like this:
