Social Learning

What opportunities lie in the vast array of social media platforms and technologies out there? Also, how can we as professionals evaluate the educational opportunities for those whom we serve (our students and our organisations)?

In the video above I discuss the following social learning elements:

For students

• Facebook for Educators
• A New Suite of Safety Tools from the Facebook Blog
• Facebook Privacy Help
• Adding to Wikipedia
• Mammoth list of online education courses from educational institutions around the world

For educators

• Twitter for Teachers
• RSS explained
• What is crowdfunding/crowdfunding? Check out KickStarter and PledgeMe

How are you using the above examples of 'social learning' in your classrooms?
