Paul Allison — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:43:09 -0500

For this webcast, we invited Bill Fitzgerald, Dave Cormier and Gail Desler to talk about social networking and what platforms make sense right now. Of course behind all of this talk about Drupal and Edublogs were questions that we are asking about about how we in the, ah... Teachers Teaching Teachers, Youth Voices, Personal Learning Space, Youth Twitter ... group of teachers might want to continue working together ... and how the software decisions we need to make this Spring can support our hopes and plans.

Teachers Teaching Teachers #82 - Is the Internet Enough? - A Dialogue with Vance Stevens

Paul Allison — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 05:42:34 -0600

Vance Stevens joins us on this podcast, to discuss a project he has been doing with four teachers--Nelba Quintana, Doris Molero, Sasa Sirk, and Rita Zeinstejer. They have been asking their students to use the tag "writingmatrix" when they post to their blogs, then they use Technorati and Google Reader to find each other's blogs. Vance and these four teachers presented this work recently at the K12OnlineConference: "Motivate Student Writers by Fostering Collaboration through Tagging and Aggregating" We thought it would be a good idea to see how we might join their network of student bloggers with our school-based social networks at YouthVoices.net and the PersonalLearningSpace.com.

Social Networking Between Faculty and Students
with Special Guest, Lucy Gray
December 5, 2007

We had an exciting conversation about the appropriate boundries that teachers should have between their personal and professional lives with their students, and how the Internet and Social Networking tools effect this relationship. Lucy Gray joined us about half way through our show to discuss Facebook and how college students are using it as a tool to learn, communicate and even get jobs.

Next week we'll be attempting to have a few students join in the conversation.

What are you experiences with Facebook, Twitter, or any other social network and your students? What boundries do you draw?
