Encouraging students to publish work as opposed to simply completing work for assessment, where only the teacher can see it, allows for a focus on excellence and real world learning. The many apps and sites highlighted here are organised into categories.

A nice introductin (through brief text and a short video) to Personal Learning Networks.  If you wondered what they are and if they are for you, here's a good place to start.

Ian Berry's curator insight, April 12, 2015 10:58 PM

I like this idea particularly for online. Seeing online groups as PLN's would take us away from a lot that's simply pontificating and self-obsessed boring.

 

Nothing online should take the place of an in person master-mind group http://blog.ianberry.biz/2015/04/how-are-you-embracing-third-mind.html

5. Value your partners. Put together a Twitter list of your partners, and send them regular goodwill tweets. If all of your partners are in a list, you are more likely to remember to keep in touch and nurture the relationship.

Serious Doodling: 5 Effective Classroom Drawing Exercises - FRACTUS LEARNING

Serious Doodling: 5 Effective Classroom Drawing Exercises - FRACTUS LEARNING | Education Matters - (tech and non-tech) | Scoop.it
To the annoyance of many teachers, students cannot help but doodle in class. A range of studies now shows that this displeasure is misplaced: the doodles seem to help people concentrate (by preventing them from completely falling into a daydream) and consolidate information. Also, it seems that leaders of all types have doodled for as long as pen and paper have been available. The photograph below is of John F. Kennedy’s doodles during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
