Surely Scoop.it is hard at work developing a way for readers and curators to search within its sites, but the tool just isn't ready yet.
In the meantime, I wanted to share a workaround so folks who want to search within a Scoop.it site can do so.
The way to do this is to go to Google search and type the prefix "site:" in front of the url of the desired site to be searched. Then skip a space and enter the search term(s).
For example, if I wanted to search one of my Scoop.it sites, Into the Driver's Seat, for
entries containing information about the Flipped Classroom, the search string would look like this:
Note that there is no space between the colon after "site" and the url, but there is a space after the url and the search term(s). In my experience, it does not seem to matter if the first letter of the search term words is a capital.
If you have additional suggestions for how to search a specific Scoop.it site, please hit the sharing icon (dialogue bubble), below, and comment.
As interest in badges continues to increase, it occurs to me that in their passion for gameification, innovation, and outright reinvention, many in the field are overlooking the place where badges make the most sense of all – the formal higher education institution. There are at least two high-level reasons why higher education is the perfect place for badging.
The International Higher Education Teaching and Learning Association (http://hetl.org/) cordially invites you to attend the 2013 International HETL Conference to be held at the University of Central Florida, in cooperation with the UCF Karen L. Smith Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning.
In Towards Creative Learning Spaces: Rethinking the Architecture of Post-Compulsory Education (2011), Jos Boys raises intriguing questions about changes in the spaces we use in higher education, pushing educators to think beyond traditional categories of “formal” and “informal” learning sites to imagine more complex relationships between our classrooms and the world beyond them. In the wake of increasing reliance on ever-expanding virtual learning spaces, greater emphasis on experiential learning, and a push toward the global classroom, leaders in higher education must consider their work from a wide range of perspectives.

The project applied the e-learning Maturity Model (eMM) to monitor institutional change in four New Zealand tertiary organisations. The project details the technology driven institutional change management approaches adopted by each organisation.
"My online Sociology courses are capped at 60 students. To make the discussion board forums a bit more manageable, I subdivide classes into three or four separate forums of 15-20 students each. I have found that this has two main effects: it encourages a greater sense of community among students, and helps to discourage plagiarism. Smaller groups encourage students to get to know each other well; students often say that they look forward to reading other students’ posts whom they have come to know."
"EDTECH DIGEST celebrates all the latest gadgets, gizmos and new technologies moving education forward. We delve deeper into the stories of the people behind the technology and discover what truly drives them to conceptualize, create, develop and deploy their ideas to the masses.

Welcome to my personal site for resources in online learning and distance education. It is personal because it contains the resources I have found useful and interesting. I focus mainly on resources associated with or relevant to post-secondary education. This site is meant as a resource for students, faculty and academic administrators interested in online learning.
Teaching is changing. It is no longer simply about passing on knowledge to the next generation. Teachers in the 21st century, in all educational sectors, have to cope with an ever-changing cultural and technological environment. Teaching is now a design science. Like other design professionals - architects, engineers, town planners, programmers – teachers have to work out creative and evidence-based ways of improving what they do. But teaching is not treated as a design profession.

YouTube is the largest video repository known to (wo)man. The global looking glass has changed the way we view and share news, culture, politics, our world. It’s changed the way we learn, both formally and informally.
Sometimes we don’t manage this monster of content as powerfully as we might. Though there are many others, here are an assortment of tips and tricks that may improve your YouTube experience, because . . .

If you are looking for something different from Safari to broswe the internet on your tablet or iphone, here are some alternatives. Some of them are really efficient for using with students as they can play flash content and support webpages that Safari cannot. Below, you can also find browsers that may support instant sharing of websites via email, video download on the mobile device, bookmarking, social media intergration and many more features. You can see the prices of each application at the end of the post via the virtual iphone.
Advancement and developments in Mobile device technologies is expected to play a major role in learning transformation. However, usage is still largely unsupported in learning and several are unconvinced about the potential benefits. This survey seeks the opinion of educators, students and those in role of learning & teaching support and / or governance to determine the drivers and barriers to the use of mobile device technologies in learning processes.
If you have not received an invitation already, please access the survey by selecting the relevant link on this page: http://mlearningportal.uelconnect.org.uk/surveys/survey_home.htm. Alternatively and if you prefer, please complete one of the attached documents as relevant and email the completed form back to r.olasoji@uel.ac.uk.
How long will it take?
The survey will take approximately 20-30 minutes.
What’s in it for me?
By taking part you will be participating in ground breaking research which could form some basis for future discussions and implementations in mobile device technologies’ usage in learning processes. You will also be contributing to ongoing efforts to transform education. The survey data will also be published and available for other uses.
The surveys are anonymous and will be used solely for the purpose of research as part of MPhil / PhD programme at the University of East London, UK. All data will be held confidentially.
Please feel free to pass on to colleagues.
