The idea for Tioki, an online professional network exclusively for the education community, wasn’t happenstance, but it wasn’t planned either. The company has since expanded beyond HR into a connectivity, discovery, and knowledge-sharing platform and changed its name to Tioki. Dubbed “The LinkedIn for Teachers,” Tioki’s purpose is to advance the education system by connecting all of the people who know it best, with the intention of sparking conversation and collaboration that would not likely happen otherwise.

I introduce Scoop.it in my E-Learning for Educators online course. I think it's a great platform. However it does have some healthy competiion. RebelMouse is one such competitor. Well worth a look for those shopping for a strong curation platform.

G+ is catching up big time for many reasons. Among these reasons is the Hangout integration.
We just facilitated a remote 1.5 day leadership development session with Hangouts and it was fantastic.
Google is sticking to their strategy and their value is starting to win people over. I was never a fan and, through valuable features, I am changing my perspective on the suite of offerings.

Tioki is the online professional network exclusively for the education community. Our mission is to give those in the education industry access to the most valuable resource out there – other people who are passionate about education! Making a connection on Tioki means that you have the unique opportunity to see what others do, use, and know. Through the use of specialized skills’ tags, education-specific profile features, and linked resources, we make it easier than ever for you to gain access to the advice, tools, and opportunities that address your most pressing needs. But wait, there’s more! With every connection you make on Tioki, your professional network automatically expands, increasing your access to increasingly more knowledge and opportunities.
Dennis T OConnor's insight:
Tioki is a combination social network for educators and job search service. It will appeal to younger teachers who are learning their way into the profession. The profile elements help new teachers highlight their skills. While I concentrate on E-Learning, I wanted to curate this interesting social network based job search site. Young teachers are a precious commodity. Those saavy enough to use this service well have already distinguished themselves as above average. For those involved in virtual education at the K-12 level, it may be well worth your time to network here. Delete the scoop?

Dennis T OConnor's insight:
As a long time user of Google Alerts, I'll need an alterantive if the Big G decides to kill this useful service. I've set alerts on a number of topics as just one of many filters to pluck information out of the stream of data that flows by my daily door. New tools= new ideas!

Here's a social system designed to manage your reputation backtrail. Unlike Klout, Trustcloud evaluates your presence on a number of different social systems. It takes into account your longevity online and your willingness to interact and contribute. You can earn 'badges' based on a number of factors.
