Social Media for learning, teaching and researching...
Social Media should be about making us think and act differently! :-)
e.g: in the past we copied copies of our handouts to students, not we upload them to the VLE kind of a thing - there is much more we can do with technology! No comment yet.

Learning is most effective when it’s personalised.
The teachers role is changing from a one-to-many distributor of content (lecturing), to a facilitator of one-to-many personalized and blended learning environments, and reinforcement over time to create individual mastery. Technology must individually deliver proven accelerated learning methodologies for participants to enage the content interactively over time. The teacher will facilitate bettered individual learning outcomes through technologies.
The cool technology, like the iPad, is only individually valuable if the learning is truely changed from one-to-many to one-to-one. Via Ana Cristina Pratas

Australian outfit Bridge 8, who have the admirable mission of devising “creative strategies for science and society,” and animator James Hutson have created six fantastic two-minute animations on various aspects of critical thinking, aimed at kids ages 8 to 10 but also designed to resonate with grown-ups.
Inspired by the animation style of the 1950s, most recognizably Saul Bass, the films are designed to promote a set of educational resources on critical thinking by TechNYou, an emerging technologies public information project funded by the Australian government.

Learning to learn is one of those terms which, having been used in various forms for over thirty years, now has become prevalent in common discourse about schools, education and employability.
It is probably only because of its alliterative qualities that we use Learning to Learn rather than Learning to Think, Learning to Study, Thinking about Thinking, Thinking for Learning or many other possible variants which exist out in the world.

It's my pleasure to join you today, launching the "eSafety label" in the "Future Classroom Lab" on the occasion of Safer Internet Day.
In the last 20 years, the information and communications revolution has really taken off. The Internet gives a world of opportunity – for all our citizens, but especially children.
My goal in the EU is clear: to get Every European Digital. And that includes every student and every teacher digital, too. I don't want ICT in the classroom to be futuristic science fiction: I want it to be so commonplace, so unremarkable, so integral to learning, that people can't think of the classroom without it.
But: as we use technology more and more in the classroom, we must also use the classroom to support technology. And in particular, teach kids to use new technology safely and responsibly.
