Presented by: Holly Rae Bemis-Schurtz & Laura Grant, NM State University
New Mexico Technology in Education Conference October 2009
Educators around the world are utilizing Twitter as a personal learning environment, but how else can microblogging be used in education? From K12 to Higher Education, we will present the possibilities of Twitter and alternative tools in both instructional and student support contexts. We’ll share examples of how elementary, secondary and higher education faculty and institutions are using microblogging to augment communication in thoughtful ways, but we won’t stop there. Social media tools like this require important safety and security considerations as well as outcomes based planning. Join us and identify issues and strategies you’ll need to know about Twitter for educational purposes.
Social Media for Professional DevelopmentGene Begin
Social media is widely known for its involvement in connecting people and their personal lives, but the majority of social networks and digital media platforms can be used as professional development tools. This session designed specifically for Babson staff was intended to give a basic overview of these tools, how to use them for personal development and how to use them in connecting with students in one's role.
Anecdotal claims that Twitter is used for professional learning inspired this Doctoral research. This presentation describes how I interviewed professionals working in higher education about how they used Twitter for learning. Interestingly a number of barriers for professionals use of Twitter arose and are highlighted here.

Twitter has over 500 million users. It's easy to claim that the platform is here to stay (well, until the next big thing, of course). Your students are using it. Your colleagues are using it. Your vendors are using it. But how can you effectively use it as a classroom and a professional development tool?
There is much to be learned from Twitter, and we will discuss how you can use Twitter to educate both your students, as well how best to leverage Twitter to your needs.
This presentation was created by Josh Downing with notes collected by Josh and classmate Arima for assignment. The assignment objective was to explore technology in the classroom.

How to use Social Media in the ClassroomAdam Voyton
Learn how to incorporate social media tools into learning activities. When used properly, social media tools can boost student engagement, link students to content experts, find online classroom lessons, and help students to establish an online body of work/establish their brand.
This presentation shares the perspectives of three education faculty who incorporated Twitter into their traditional, blended, and online classes as a way to expand and extend the class “conversation” beyond the classroom. Courses involved were at both the undergraduate and graduate level in subjects ranging from science education to the community college. Our fourth presenter is a student teacher who will share her experiences with Twitter assignments as well as how she envisions using Twitter with elementary students in her future classroom.

A landscape of new tools has lead to entirely new forms of communication. Learning itself is a ‘mashup.’ Teaching and communicating using online tools creates a conversation that takes place in a cloud. New learning skills and styles emerge. This presentation will introduce three concepts especially relevant to teaching and learning in this potentially overwhelming context: learning ecosystems, organizational biomimicry, and connectivism. This is a concise introduction to what's new in learning and communication and is meant to provide the background knowledge to support changes in practice.
This presentation is part one in a two part series about New Learning Communities. The second part is Practical Applications by Julia Parra, Ed.D.

You'll be surprised how social bookmarking tools can make teaching and learning easier for students and teachers alike. Find out about all of the web based bookmarking tools (Delicious, Twine, Faviki and more) and share a conversation about how they can be used in the classroom.
NMSU College of Extended Learning has integrated the concepts of learning ecosystems, connectivism, and bioteams to establish a framework for integrating course management systems, Web 2.0 tools, and social networks with new learning skills and contexts. The ecosystem model connects pedagogy and practice to tools, enhancing new learning communities. Strategies for implementing, fostering and assessing communities will be shared.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

33. Parent ‘IMHO’ "I guess my point is (IMHO) if I found out that my 6th grader's school time was being used to learn about Twitter, MySpace, or any other social tool, that school would be getting a rather terse phone call from me. Teach my kid math, english, history, etc. I'll teach him about twitter etc....when I think he's ready and so that I can set boundaries…” Fromhttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/jessica-gross/embracing-the-twitter-cla_b_204463.html
35. Classroom Presence Possibiliites Opt in network for parents and family members Send reminders about homework or announcements Microblog of classroom events
41. Responsible Use Considerations What else will students do with this? What policies are in place? Cyberbulling committee, anonymous reporting Responsible use agreement Parental consent, student assent How will account(s) be administered? Blocking, following, privacy
43. Define parameters & goals What is the purpose of the account? Determine outcomes, norms, parameters What links, names, locations should be shared (if any)? Consider limiting information in your profile’s bio Who can follow (if private) and how will that be managed? What will happen on vacation, breaks, nights or weekends? Higher Ed example @nmsu
44. Prepare to stay involved & immersed Monitor/listen to your brand or community Research your integration of search and search widgets (ongoing) Change account name when necessary Be mindful of password access or third party access (ie: Twitpic email address) Listening Engines * http://www.socialmention.com/ * http://search.twitter.com/ * http://www.whostalkin.com/ * http://www.samepoint.com/
