Donald Clark – More Pedagogic Change in 10 years than the last 1000 years

Always inspiring, Donald Clark (@DonaldClark) explains why there’s been “More Pedagogic Change in 10 years than the last 1000 years” and the internet is a driver for positive, pedagogic change at TEDx Glasgow.

How Twitter is impacting my productivity

I generally have my Twitter feed running, even while I’m writing. At times it can be distracting, but with a 27″ monitor, it can sit in my peripheral vision, barely intruding. Today I noticed a tweet from Geographical Magazine (@GeographicalMag) alerting followers to their new iPhone and iPad app. Without hesitation I clicked on the link to the iTunes preview page. I rarely turn down free apps related to geoscience and so it was with this one. I retweeted @GeographicalMag‘s original tweet while installing and making an in-app purchase. Everything went so smoothly that I began writing a review of the app. Geographical Magazine thanked me for the retweet. I tweeted them of getting the app, the desire to write a review, and need for permission to use  screen caps. Approval came a few minutes later.

The app review will hopefully be up in the next day or so. My experience today shows how social media, and especially Twitter, is impacting the way some of us do our work.  I’m thankful for tools like Twitter that can initiate a conversation between publishers and end users so easily (especially between London, England and Stevens Point, WI) to get their work done.

“The Visions of Students Today” 2001 – Michael Wesch

Below are the trailer and final cut of the 2011 version of”The Visions of Students Today”, the development of which was guided by Michael Wesch. I say guided as it really is a collaborative effort on the part of Wesch and most importantly his students to bring awareness to what it’s like to be a student today. Wesch and his students’ projects are always thought-provoking and inspiring.
