To be compared with the Bloom's and Power Point poster.

Seriously– this is an opportunity to pick up the pace in your classrooms!

This table was built by TeachBytes and details 22 different ways to use Twitter in the classroom. All my advisees will recognize why I love that it's organized by Bloom’s Taxonomy 'objective verbs'.

Is this taking Twitter a bit too far?

I love that there is a tanomy already! 

Are you using Vine yet?

Wonder how you might use these in a 48 Hr Film Project context?

This book, initiated by the UNESCO/COL Chair in OER, is one in a series of publications by the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) examining OER. It describes the movement in detail, providing readers with insight into OER’s significant benefits, its theory and practice, and its achievements and challenges. The 16 chapters, written by some of the leading international experts on the subject, are organised into four parts by theme:

1. OER in Academia – describes how OER are widening the international community of scholars, following MIT’s lead in sharing its resources and looking to the model set by the OpenCourseWare Consortium
2. OER in Practice – presents case studies and descriptions of OER initiatives underway on three continents
3. Diffusion of OER – discusses various approaches to releasing and “opening” content, from building communities of users that support lifelong learning to harnessing new mobile technologies that enhance OER access on the Internet
4. Producing, Sharing and Using OER – examines the pedagogical, organisational, personal and technical issues that producing organisations and institutions need to address in designing, sharing and using OER

In the future this could be be very useful for disciplines other than teaching.  I wonder if it will be flexible enough to replace some aspects of what we currently do in virtual worlds.

This re-Scoop from Nick Peachey. Looks like an interesting simulation/game.

SIMAULA, Formación de profesores a través de metodología basada en juegos

Para ensinar democracia nas escolas, é preciso vivenciar isso em sala de aula, na prática, na escolha e negociação entre todos - alunos, professores - do que se deseja estudar, do que é necessário, significativo para a realidade pessoal e coletiva, nos processos de avaçiação da aprendizagem etc.

"Mudar é difícil, mas é possível" - "Ninguém ensina ninguém, as pessoas aprendem entre si, mediadas pelo mundo" Paulo Freire.

From the original article by Justin Reich and Beth Holland on MindShift: "What would a math class look like where students learn to compute, prove, derive, and intuit, as well as to discern and appreciate mathematical beauty?

What about a history class where students maintained a portfolio of beautiful artifacts and ideas from multiple periods?

How might efforts to curate benefit from the portability and ubiquity of mobile devices?

What would a “relevance portfolio” look like, where students catalog their daily encounters with ideas or experiences? What other kinds of portfolios could students create over the course of their academic career?"

If you are curious to get a glimpse at how tablets and their apps can be utilized to leverage curation for your classroom learning objectives, then this is definitely a good read.

You get a good introduction with some interesting historical facts about curation and about what it could be done with it in the real of education, and then you are provided with a good number of examples and tools that you can start to use right away.

Informative. Resourceful. 8/10
