The false promise of online education?

The false promise of online education? | Technology Advances | Scoop.it
From www.theverge.com - February 2, 8:46 PM

"Proponents of online education have long branded it as a way to bring free knowledge to the masses, but in a thought-provoking piece for The Awl, Maria Bustillos argues that the rise of so-called massively open online courses (MOOCs) may not bode well for the quality of higher education. As Bustillos points out, online programs are being rapidlyadopted at colleges across the US, where tight budgets and overcrowding are forcing some lawmakers to look for alternatives, but profit-driven interests from startups like Udacity are threatening to dilute the 'techno-utopian ideal' that MOOCs once promised with derivative facsimiles of a college education."

Let's not lump all forms of online education and make sweeping generalizations.

Using Pinterest and Instagram as a Presentation Tool

Using Pinterest and Instagram as a Presentation Tool | Technology Advances | Scoop.it
From chrisroutt.com - March 8, 8:22 AM

Students are currently studying World War II in my classroom.  One of the elements we look at is how the World War II Generation, the Greatest Generation, was able to endure and succeed in this era.  Students look at one particular character from Tom Brokaw’s book, The Greatest Generation.  They are required to tell their character’s story from the war era using a tech tool in their presentation.

A few students have begun thinking outside of the box in regards to presentation tools. Students have been using Instagram and Pinterest as their tech tool...

Infographic: the History of Social Media

Infographic: the History of Social Media | Technology Advances | Scoop.it
From www.business2community.com - December 20, 2012 8:13 PM

There’s nothing new under the sun?

There’s an assumption that, just because social media keeps evolving and we start to use new tools, that ‘social media’ is a new phenomenon. Nothing could be further from the truth.

 

This informative infographic tells the story of how people have been social on the internet, from the birth of email and Usenet to up-to-date tools like Pinterest and Google+.

Interesting timeline of events, statistics + trends, as they pertain to the 'social history of the internet'...

The format and graphics enable a strong and clear visual understanding of the content being shared and a straightforward means to compare various points in time with regard to the internet in general, as well as specific social media platforms.

Mooie tijdlijn over de recente geschiedenis van social media. Wat stond er in die eerste e-mail? En daarvoor dan? Dinosaurussen! LOL
