-JOI ITO 
I DON’T THINK THAT EDUCATION 
IS ABOUT CENTRALIZED INSTRUCTION 
ANYMORE; 
RATHER, IT IS THE PROCESS [OF] 
ESTABLISHING ONESELF AS 
A NODE IN A BROAD 
NETWORK OF DISTRIBUTED CREATIVITY.
People live their lives and learn across 
multiple settings, and this holds true not 
only across the span of our lives but also 
across and within the institutions and 
communities they inhabit – even classrooms, 
for example. I take an approach that urges me 
to consider the significant overlap 
across these boundaries as people, tools, 
and practices travel through 
different and even contradictory 
contexts and activities.

Social curation is: “the discovery, selection,

for a social purpose such as learning, 
collaboration, identity expression or

SO WHAT COULD A 
PERSONAL RESEARCH 
NETWORK LOOK LIKE?
Academic blogging 
Using social media has helped give my research a media 
profile which otherwise would have been impossible, 
particularly at this stage of my career. It’s made me easy 
to discover for journalists and it’s helped me forged a 
rich array of connections with the broader community 
who have been the subject of my research. I’ve also 
found that, increasingly, journalists have read my blog 
posts or listened to my podcasts before they contact me 
and it hugely aids the subsequent dialogue.

Academic Tweeting
5 twitter & science myths 
1. Serious scientists don’t tweet 
2. Twitter takes too much time 
3. You can’t be meaningful in 140 characters 
4. Twitter erases boundaries between students 
and faculty 
5. Twitter is only for self-promoters

ALTMETRICS 
“the new, online tools of scholarship begin 
to give public substance to the formally 
ephemeral roots of scholarship: the 
discussions never transcribed, the 
annotations never shared, the introductions 
never acknowledged, the manuscripts saved 
and reread but never cited. These 
backstage activities are now increasingly 
tagged, catalogued, and archived on blogs, 
Mendeley, Twitter, and elsewhere.”
