  8. What makes Gen Y people different is the way they are
    spending more time with the Internet than TV, and also use the

    “ In coming years, a critical component of a world class education system in Australia will be use of a computer and access to reliable, high speed broadband.
    This will provide closer links between
    schools, teachers, students and parents, and help realise the true potential of e-education. It will
    change the way teachers teach, and the way students learn. “
    Kevin Rudd, 2007
  26. Learning Web
  27. New media literacies
  28. “What changes must we make in our teaching as it becomes easier to bring primary resources to our students?
    How do we need to rethink our ideas of literacy when we must prepare our students to become not only readers and writers, but editors and collaborators and publishers as well?
    What needs to change about our curriculum when our students have the ability to reach far beyond our classroom walls?
    How can we as learners begin to take advantage of the opportunities these tools present, so we may understand more clearly the pedagogies of using them in the classroom?”
    Will Richardson, author of Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms

    What do you want out of a social network? Are you looking into social networks for professional reasons?
    If you are passionate about a particular subject, a niche social network with a specific theme can be a terrific place to start.
    Because it matches your interest, you will be more likely to get involved in the community, and getting involved is what social networking is really all about.
    Most social networks contain user-created groups that help people with similar interest find each other.
    In education, the ning is becoming the social network of choice
  68. www.ning.com
  69. What is Ning?
  70. What is NING?
    allows people with common interests to share ideas and learn from one another.
    It is a platform for creating social networks where members are able to upload material, make comments and share ideas and experiences relating to a particular topic.
    It’s like getting a group of people together in the same room and discussing similar interests – except it is done using a virtual environment and not in ‘real time’.
