Editor's Notes
- We'll be covering a lot of material today, so much that I might have to skip some slides if necessary. But this presentation will be available to you on Slideshare, another example of Web 2.0. Ask about whether they use: RSS feeds Facebook -- personal & professional YouTube -- personal & professional LinkedIn Twitter -- personal & professional I'd like to break the ice with a couple of things, the first a video made by a group of Kansas State U. students in a collaborative way. If you're reluctant to get into Web 2.0 and social media, maybe this will change your mind.
- If you think you're too old for this technology...
- There's an immediacy to Web 2.0 (in this case Twitter) that you can't find anywhere else. Witness what happened on Jan. 15, 2009.
- So what's social media? It's a term we use to describe a number of Web 2.0 tools available to you. The tools include: There are many more, but we'll focus today on these five kinds of tools. Take baby steps. Do one thing, not all of them. If some of this seems overwhelming, it really isn't. Plus, it's free. And most of it takes just an hour of your time a week. I guarantee it.
- Teachers like to call a Personal learning Network. Lifelong learning. You'll see some stats today about Web 2.0 users. Don't be a dinosaur. Did I mention that it's all free? Web-based technology. You can open any of these things, including this very presentation, from any computer in the world and get right back to work.
- The statistics are rather staggering. People keep saying Twitter use is down. Since when? Maybe it’s time to get on the Web 2.0 train before it leaves the station. mention Gigatweet here.
- Start at the beginning. Firefox = Open Source Browsing Firefox makes the browsing and Web 2.0 experience a lot easier.
- You might have wondered what these symbols and notations stand for -- RSS feeds. The video I have here can explain this better than I can.
- Show how to get a feed from lohud.com Go to news feeds at top of page, choose entertainment, then XML. Choose iGoogle. I get Google Alerts from the New York Times, the Washington Post, and then set up alerts for SWBOCES, Valhalla School District, Loyola College and Temple University – where my kids attend school.
- Gets me back to social bookmarking. Even thought we didn't discuss social bookmarking at length, I did want to show you generally how it can work in reverse. The Sharethis button is an easy to put a social bookmarking tool on your website, your press releases, your BOCES articles. You have to join ShareThis online, create a user ID and password, and then you get a code that allows you to place the button anywhere on your website. Here's how we do it at SWBOCES. Show Stumbleupon
- Nings are a popular way to network with other educators, car dealers, writers, public relations people, Elvis lovers, etc. You get my drift. A Ning allows you to discuss issues, make friends, share best practices, etc. Free to set up your own. Some are closed Nings -- you have to ask to be invited. Simple process. Some are completely open. Nings have many great gadgets attached to them. You can post articles, links, photos, video and If you have a blog, you can "cross-post" it to a Ning site. Advice and discussion of acceptable use policies on here as well.
- Show a couple of great wikis that are specifically about education. Again, many wikis are best used on Intranets. Wikispaces hosts 100,000 K-12 wikis. They're great for editing. Also, Google Docs
- Ex: my family reunion wiki. My HS reunion Ning. Really been a wild experience.
- I'm going to focus for a minute on one particular school and the way they use the Big Three. I spoke to their PR person last week to ask her a few questions about this and she was a big help. Her name is Lori Jackson, in case you're interested in calling her. I have a couple of her presentations listed in my list of resources at the end. I also find that, in general, we need to take our cues from higher education and private schools and the way they're using these tools. These are all tools that can drive traffic to your website.
- show left hand column
- Explain how the big three can work interchangeably. I will get back to a more indepth look at Twitter and YouTube in a second.
- According to the Pew Center for Internet Research, 100,000 people over the age of 64 are using FaceBook. Another 310,00 people between the ages of 45 and 63 are actively using FaceBook. A total of 175 million people are active members of the site, according to Facebook's own numbers. Look at Durham Public Schools page. Again, Facebook's cred is improving and you'll see all of these organizations and individuals on FaceBook, including some of the country's top universities. Keep account closed. Accept members judiciously. Teachers in NC got in trouble, Harrison police officers. But that happens with or without the Web.
- So how are schools and districts using Twitter? As a communications and public relations tool. They post events, notices, swine flu information, etc. Twitter can be used as a tunnel to your Facebook page or YouTube page. It's also a great way to drive readers to your website.
- YouTube tends to be the last frontier for public school districts. I don't have a lot of example for you, except for the Lausanne site. But there are school districts now playing with YouTube. What I'm hoping for is that youTube will eventually partner with K-12 public schools the same way they've partnered with colleges and universities here.
- Photobucket allows you to upload photos and create a slide show. Here’s how one of those slide shows looks on our website, along with a news item.
