Credly provides simple and powerful ways to issue and display digital badges and credentials for achievements. Credly is available on the web, on mobile devices and through the Credly “Open Credit” API, the most advanced means to integrate credit-issuing into any organization’s existing programs.

Credly is a new online tool from the thinkers at LearningTimes.org.  This is the first truly user friendly, online system for creating digital badges and issuing those badges to acknowledge the special skills and abilities of people working both academic and open resource venues.

Ken's Key Takeaway:

Google Adwords Keyword Tool will give you a much better idea of how people actually find your page.  You may be surprised.

 

I like this plain-language read on SEO.  I also his humility and wisdom in pointing readers to SEOMOZ if they want to learn more.

Guinness QR Cup  - The Dieline - The #1 Package Design Website - | Technology Advances | Scoop.it

We've seen our fair share of QR codes in every possible configuration, but this has got to be the coolest I've seen in a while.

 

The Guinness QR Cup reveals itself only when the dark beer is poured into it. Once there, the entire cup becomes your personal portal to all things social media!

Top Tech Trends & People of 2012 (Focus on New Media Communications)

Here is the textbook that I created/curated for teaching my New Media Technology class during the Spring semester of 2012 at Hannam University's Linton Global College. I took great effort to give credit where it is due. I aimed to show my students how they could access enough free info on the web that was of equal or greater value than the wonderful information found in expensive textbooks. Feel free to share and please support the true authors of this book in any way you can (money, likes, blog comments, links, etc.) I am simply the currator of this content.

If you would like a free tablet-friendly PDF file, just email me at kenmorrison30 @ yahoo.com (no spaces)

 

P.S. There are some typos and honest mistakes in this textbook, but I am comfortable sharing it as is. I am excited to redesign it for next semester.

Ken

This is a course created by fellow curator Ken Morrison.  It contains enough information on social media that everyone will find something of interest.  Thanks for sharing, Ken!
