Twitter is without a doubt the best way to share and discover what is happening right now. What is “Do Not Track”? Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers. The United States Federal Trade Commission has endorsed DNT as a simple way for users to inform integrated web services which offer content across the Internet (such as buttons, widgets, and other embedded features) that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected across websites when they have not interacted with that service's content on the page. The DNT browser setting is now supported by recent versions of major browsers, including Firefox 5+, Internet Explorer 9+, and Safari 5.1+. If you are using Chrome 17.0 or higher, there is a third-party extension that enables DNT. Read more...

er Kurzmitteilungsdienst Twitter könnte nach Erkenntnissen britischer Wissenschaftler als Seismometer für gesellschaftliche Stimmungen dienen. Die Forscher haben in einer in Lyon vorgestellten Studie herausgefunden, dass sich im Oktober 2010 und im Sommer 2011 jeweils eine Welle aus Wut und Ärger unter den britischen Twitterern verbreitete. Parallel dazu verkündete die Regierung im Oktober 2010 geplante Einsparungen, im Sommer erschütterten dann Gewalt und Unruhen mehrere Städte in Großbritannien.

By: Brad Currie and Scott Rocco #Satchat is a great example of the power of social media in the educational realm and the benefit of expanding an educator’s Personal Learning Network (PLN). The tools of the ever evolving #Satchat discussion are many. During the week Twitter’s direct messaging feature is used by @scottrrocco and @bcurrie5 as they prepare and discuss questions/topics for the upcoming chat. Then a Twitter Poll is used to survey participants about what it is they are interested in discussing during #Satchat. Daily promos are made on Twitter and also by way of an Audioboo . During the actual chat Twitter for iPad, HootSuite and other Twitter tools enable participants to communicate and get their points across. After the chat Storify is used to archive the chats and make them available to those who participated. A wiki is also maintained by the very talented and co-founder of #NJED Bill Krakower @wkrakower.

By Dave Meister The first PHSprincipalBlog (changed to Director 4/1/2009) post was on 9/18/2007. (332 posts overall) I have been using Twitter for 4 years, 4 month... We still have a lot of work to do, but I feel more strongly than ever before that we are willing to meet the challenges to make our learning environments relevant and engaging. We have the unique opportunity to design and build a new school complex that will be both flexible and transparent and able to accommodate learning for today’s world and the challenges of tomorrow.

Have you heard of Twitter? Do you like to tweet? Most likely you’ve utilized social networking websites such as Facebook. So why would you consider using Twitter? To enhance and increase connections with classmates – and potentially your instructors, as you may not find it easy to network with students on other sites and it is very unlikely that your instructors will appear on your friends list. What if I told you that this can help you develop an academic network and support system? ===> By the end of this post I believe you will want to give it a try and more importantly, you’ll likely find it can be an effective personal learning network. <===
