Social Media Practices to Expect in 2013 | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it

Social media has rapidly become an important part of many peoples’ lives, not just as a way to keep up with friends and family, but also for professional networks, exploring fields of research, shopping, sharing content and fostering online communities.


It has also become a crucial aspect of a businesses’ online presence- now a firm can connect with consumers and tailor their online relationships with customers, other brands, and with employees.
Predicting quite what is going to happen in this ever changing digital landscape isn’t easy, but it’s certainly worth noting some of the rising trends and having a look ahead to 2013.


Learn more about these trends, including social marketing, content development, branding, video + media applications, social tv, and the growing influence of mobile devices in social media...

I love that point Martin! I think people call it social because of the personal element to it as opposed to advertising and things like that, especially because it's so interactive in nature. Do you have a suggestion as to what to change the name to?

Very good indeed!

Teen Takes Educators to Twitter School

Teen Takes Educators to Twitter School | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it

ifteen-year-old Adora Svitak knows students nowadays “live, work and play” social media.“We’re used to the characteristics of social media: participation, connection, instant gratification,” she tells Mashable, “and when school doesn’t offer the same, it’s easy to tune out.”

To help more educators learn about the benefits of using social media in the classroom, Adora recently taught nearly 3,000 teachers, principals and administrators how to implement Twitter and Facebook into their lives.

To Be An Effective Curator You Need To Be an Information DJ

To Be An Effective Curator You Need To Be an Information DJ | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it


Robin Good: In analyzing what is going on in the brain when a potentially viral idea is intercepted, Matthew Lieberman (who designed the study with Emily Falk at UCLA) discovered something that confirms how important it is that an effective curator be "in tune" with his own audience. 

 

Great curation is not just about "spinning" the newest and coolest, but to precisely cater to the specific audience interests, expectations and preferences.

 

Interesting, fascinating story. Truthful. Insightful. 8/10

Does the use of Twitter Improve Education?

Does the use of Twitter Improve Education? | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it

By George Couros

 

There has been post after post acknowledging how educators love Twitter while also encouraging others to use it themselves. With that though comes skeptics (as there should be), questioning whether the use of Twitter is beneficial to educators. I have thought about that question a lot and I can give a definitive answer: yes and no ( I am 100% certain of this).

Educación y Virtualidad: Ahora es cuando hace falta la pedagogía

Educación y Virtualidad: Ahora es cuando hace falta la pedagogía | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it

Si pensamos responder a la pregunta ¿qué aporta la tecnología a la educación? es muy probable que podamos dar un listado de nuestras herramientas con las que aprendemos, enseñamos o buscamos interactuar en comunidades de aprendizaje virtual. No obstante, existe otra pregunta, la que está en la orilla de la representación simbólica sobre para qué, qué, cómo, cuándo, con quién o dónde aprender: ¿qué aporta la pedagogía a la tecnología? Esto es, qué función educativa añadimos a las herramientas… más claramente, si intentamos bailar con la tecnología ¿qué música le vamos a poner?

Las herramientas van muy de prisa, están aquí y son muchas, mientras que la pedagogía es más lenta en desarrollarse (esto es normal). Las nuevas pedagogías, las pedagogías emergentes, las pedagogías funcionales para el mundo virtual o, más en confianza, la e-pedagogía está en construcción.
