    Using online social media to engage students
    Presented by Simon Brown, SkillsTech Australia stonemasonry teacher.

    I’d like to introduce you to how we’re using Ning, Twitter, Flickr and YouTube to build an online learning community.
    This is not a shopping list of Web 2.0 sites, merely four online tools that I’m using to connect with my students.
    After I’ve showed you what we’re doing, I will ask you a few questions about your views.

  • + ozi Simon Brown 3 years ago
    Why build an online social network?
    My students are spread geographically, and I want to maintain contact between block-release classes at TAFE.
    I also want students to learn how to present themselves online in a global context.
    Doing this gives students a chance to collaborate with each other, maintaining their own network and extending it around Australia and to other countries.

  • + ozi Simon Brown 3 years ago
    The World Wide Web was chosen because of a need to operate outside the TAFE Queensland student network. Many new and exciting technologies are available for use in an educational setting.

    Ning social networks at http://ning.com
    Ning is the only online service where you can create, customize, and share your own Social Network for free in seconds.

    Twitter: elegant instant messaging at http://twitter.com
    Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?

  • + ozi Simon Brown 3 years ago
    Flickr at http://flickr.com - almost certainly the best online photo management and sharing application in the world - has two main goals:
    1. We want to help people make their photos available to the people who matter to them.
    2. We want to enable new ways of organizing photos.

  • + ozi Simon Brown 3 years ago
    YouTube at http://youtube.com
    Founded in February 2005, YouTube is the leader in online video, and the premier destination to watch and share original videos worldwide through a Web experience. YouTube allows people to easily upload and share video clips on www.YouTube.com and across the Internet through websites, mobile devices, blogs, and email.
