First, a must read is Harriet’s article that was published in The Chronicle of Higher Education titled Facebook: The New [...]

Here is Disney’s official description of Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride:
Keep your eyes peeled because Mr. Toad certainly isn’t watching where he’s going! Climb into your buggy and hang on, because the wacky characters from the Disney classic “The Wind in the Willows” are going to take you on a road trip you won’t soon forget! [...]
But I Didn’t Post That Picture!
Posted in Career Services, Employment, Professional Development, Social Media, tagged Employment, reputation, socialmedia on August 11, 2009 | 9 Comments »
That’s a picture of me, my husband, my father-in-law, and my kid on Halloween last year. There’s nothing horrific about it (unless you are not a Packer’s fan, which is a different issue entirely), but it’s not a picture that I posted to Facebook.

I’ve been studying various educational uses of social media tools lately, trying to learn how my colleagues are using them educationally, how they are affecting learning and teaching, what the possible implications are, and why we should care.
I’ve learned that one colleague is using Twitter as a formative assessment tool; another is using Facebook as [...]

Working + Together

Howard Rheingold is someone I’ve started paying careful attention to (one of my earlier posts includes a video from Rheingold in which he highlights his ideas about Learning to Inquire). He almost always challenges my thinking or at least provides me with a new way of thinking, and lord knows I need new ways of [...]
