Social Media for Education
A quick introduction to these Social Media technologies: blogs, Delicious, SlideShare, podcasts, YouTube and Twitter.
Some suggestions / examples for their possible use in teaching and learning
How could you use them in your teaching?
The Role of Social Media in Teaching and Learning
Presentation given at FITSI at UNH in June 2010 on the varying role of social media in education. Followed by a panel that included several teachers, the IT department and the Assistant Dean, and later by a social media roundtable on guidelines and policies. It was a great day of learning to an attentive crowd.
Note: In 2010 we changed the name of our company from Uptown Uncorked to Magnitude Media to better reflect the variety of clients we serve.
Social Networking, Web2.0 and Teaching and Learning
Accompanied an online discussion on how to reflect changes wrought by web2.0 in the teaching of adults in the Australian VET sector
Web 2.0 in Teaching & Learning
This document discusses the use of social media and Web 2.0 technologies for teaching and learning. It begins by outlining characteristics of Generation X and Y students and how their tools and methods of learning have changed. It then provides an introduction to social media tools like blogs, wikis, social bookmarking, social networking and media sharing sites and their potential uses in education for communication, collaboration, and sharing content. Specific tools are highlighted and screenshots provided. The document stresses that these technologies can engage online learners and transform education by integrating the tools students already use.
Blogs, wikis, and podcasts.slides
The document discusses blogs, wikis, and podcasts as language learning resources. It provides an overview of each tool, including definitions, examples of how they can be used for language teaching, and steps to implement them in the classroom. Blogs allow for diary entries, reactions to class topics, and interaction between students. Wikis enable collaborative writing and provide a non-linear structure. Podcasts make audio files accessible for listening and language practice. The document explores advantages and considerations for using each tool and provides example platforms.
Blogs and wikis
This document discusses how blogs and wikis can enhance teaching and learning. It presents blogs as online diaries or journals controlled by one person, while wikis are websites that can be edited by a group of users. Both tools allow sharing of information online without advanced coding skills. The document outlines similarities and differences between blogs and wikis, how they can be used for education, steps for creating each tool, and examples of educational blog and wiki sites. It concludes that blogs and wikis provide teachers new ways to enhance learning when used as online collaboration tools.
Voices in Language Learning
This document discusses using voice and online communication tools in language learning. It argues that the internet is not just a passive resource for information, but enables interaction and user-generated content through tools like voice boards, virtual classrooms, audio blogging and podcasting. These voice tools benefit English language learners by allowing richer participation and feedback. Both synchronous tools like chat rooms and asynchronous tools like voice boards can be used, depending on the purpose. The document provides examples of how teachers have used voice tools for conferences, group discussions, oral presentations and building a sense of community in language classes.
Wikis Blogs and Podcasts
This document discusses emerging web-based tools for virtual collaboration in clinical practice and education. It focuses on wikis, blogs, and podcasts which have grown in popularity in recent years. These tools allow for powerful information sharing and collaboration. Wikis allow anyone with access to edit collaborative web pages, while blogs are online journals that can attract large readerships. Podcasts allow audio and video files to be downloaded to mobile devices, enabling learning anywhere. The document argues that if implemented effectively, these tools could enhance learning experiences for students, clinicians and patients by deepening engagement and collaboration. More research is needed to determine best practices for integrating these tools into education programs.

Creating an Online Course Based on Elearning 2.0 Concepts
The document discusses the concepts of E-Learning 1.0 and 2.0. E-Learning 1.0 focuses on structured courses delivered through an LMS, while E-Learning 2.0 takes a more flexible approach using discrete Web 2.0 tools to support ad-hoc learning communities. The researcher designed and taught two graduate online courses based on E-Learning 2.0 concepts. A survey found that students had a positive experience with the E-Learning 2.0 approach and tools and felt a strong sense of community and interaction in the courses.
Intro to Social Media
Social media tools have become widely used in education. They allow for more interactive learning experiences and collaboration between students and teachers. Wikis enable collaborative editing of content and recording of thought processes. Blogs encourage reflection and allow building of evidence over time. Microblogging tools like Twitter facilitate information sharing and reflection. Multimedia tools such as Flickr and YouTube support sharing of photos and videos. Digital curation tools help organize and share collections of resources. Social networking sites like Facebook, Google+, and LinkedIn connect users and enable collaboration, but require attention to privacy and safety issues. Overall, social media enhances learning when used appropriately and for the right audience, though information overload and distraction are potential limitations.

In these sessions we explore a range of ways to support students in sharing their experiences, reflections and discussions outside of class in a more open manner – through digital communication platforms and tools. As part of this series, you will redesign one course activity or assessment strategy for implementation in a course in Fall 2016.
Throughout the three part series we will engage in a simulation using a shared and collaborative WordPress blog thereby modeling approaches to implementing open reflective writing. Various models of using WordPress in education will be explored including individual student reflective writing sites, collaborative community course sites, and aggregated sites.
By the end of these sessions participants will:
-experience taking part in a collaborative reflective writing community
-plan a learning activity which makes use of this technique
-share their experiences implementing within their discipline

Web 2.0 tools like blogs, wikis, social networking sites, tagging, and RSS feeds promote information fluency by allowing users to create, share, and collaborate on content. These tools make information more accessible and encourage lifelong learning. While useful, overdependence on these sources and lack of skills in evaluating digital information can also be problems if information literacy is not developed.
Introduction To Blogs
Blogs have become popular for several reasons. They allow people to share thoughts, ideas, and opinions with a worldwide audience. Blogs can also be used for educational purposes, both by students and teachers. Students can post reactions to class discussions and collaborate on projects with other students globally. Teachers can reflect on their teaching experiences, share lesson plans and activities, and explore educational issues with other teachers through blogs. There are several major blog hosting platforms where people can create and host their blogs.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
