FutureM 2012: Harvesting Consumer Intent from the Social WebJeff Janer
The interest graph captures users' interests and future plans rather than just past actions shared on social media. It consists of what users like rather than who they know. Platforms like Pinterest and YouTube allow users to express interests. For consumers, the interest graph provides a way to discover related products and plans. Best practices include marketing based on interests and context, and leveraging influencers. Success is measured through engagement, awareness, traffic, and purchase outcomes. The interest graph is likely to continue growing in importance as a way for brands to understand customers beyond demographics. Brands should explore platforms, establish a presence, learn conversation strategies, and market based on interest data.
This document summarizes the features and benefits of wikis for educational use. Wikis allow for easy and instantaneous collaboration between multiple students on shared documents. They provide flexibility without a predetermined structure and allow for images, links, and videos. Various security levels can be set to make pages publicly viewable or only editable by registered users. Wikis provide an opportunity for Lutheran schools to connect and for students to build content in topics they find interesting. Potential downsides include security issues if students post inappropriate content and difficulty monitoring pages as the wiki grows larger. A sample rubric and student worksheet are also provided to help track individual student contributions.
This document outlines a framework for understanding how technology can enhance learning experiences in three waves: 1) Technology itself, 2) Designing better learning experiences using technology, and 3) Designing new learning structures for digital age learning. It focuses on the second wave, where most Lutheran schools currently are, and provides examples of how to design learning activities to engage students through organization, content retrieval, content creation, collaboration, and personalized learning using tools like Symbaloo, Poll Everywhere, Padlet, and Google Docs.

The document introduces We-LCoME (Wiki e-Learning Compound Multimedia Environment), a prototype system that combines e-learning and Web 2.0 principles. We-LCoME allows users to collaboratively create and share SMIL-based multimedia learning objects. It provides workflows for users to add metadata about media contents and their accessibility. The system was designed to improve learning object accessibility by enabling annotations and alternative content.

21st Century Skills in Lutheran Education -- One School's JourneyDavid Black
The term "21st Century Skills" has become such a trendy buzz phrase that for many it is devoid of meaning.

See how one school's first steps in working with these essential skills with their students.
Project-based learning is a teaching method where students investigate and respond to a complex question or challenge over an extended period of time. It is not just doing projects as part of a class, but a philosophy where students have more control over the scope, pace, and assessment of their work. Effective project-based learning is guided by an open-ended driving question that requires deep research, is multidisciplinary, connects students to experts and authentic audiences, and enhances students' understanding of real-life problems. Teachers face challenges in managing noise, taking a manager role instead of solely imparting knowledge, and addressing time pressures of traditional standards.
The document discusses various topics related to blogging including reasons for starting a blog, how popular blogging has become, the anatomy and structure of blogs, types of blog posts, ideas for finding content, tips for writing posts, tracking visitors, monetizing blogs through advertising, and getting started with blogging.
Trendspotting technics have evolved thanks to social media. Identifying signals, consolidating concrete manifestations of new habits and ultimately proving an insight can be pushed to new limits, thanks to the number of elements that people share online. However, defining precisely what "trend" means can be tricky. This presentation aims to define what it can be and how cool hunting can help analysts in understanding the digital signals.
