With the turn of the 21st century, the "social web" saw an explosive growth in the number of online social networking sites. These virtual platforms have gained so much in popularity that their members now count in millions. Online social networking is a constituent part of one's digital identity and whatever you share on them remains there a witness either for or against you. The infographic features some of the risks of posting on social networks. It also provides some interesting data on the kind of content people share on these sites Via Andrea Zeitz Delete the scoop?

It is always improtant to think about the purpose and the student's technological abilities. I see all too often with adult learning presenters overestimate the abilities of the learners. Delete the scoop?

A summary of the results from the 2012 Student Engagement Survey administered by the Learning Achievement Coalition of Oakland County, Michigan.
The survey was given to Teachers and 8th grade students in 13 middle schools in Oakland County Teacher surveys = 369 Students = 2,722
The results indicate that student and teacher perceptions differ on a variety of important measures. Most glaring is about relationships: teachers tend to focus on the group; students want to be known as individuals.

Our old technology — paper — gave us an idea of knowledge that said that knowledge comes from experts who are filtered, printed, and then it’s settled, because that’s how books work. Our new technology shows us we are complicit in knowing. Via David Hain Delete the scoop?

Technology and Teaching is not an either/or scenario but a both/and. Clever, considered integration of technology into the classroom environment and continued PD opportunities for teachers is key.

"The Wall Street crowd wants us to think of education in terms of means – which usually means finding ways to spend less – rather than ends. But when it comes to education, the “ends” are our children. And the means we choose for them, either consciously or through indifference, reveal who we really are as a people." Delete the scoop?
