Submitted by sgough on Thu, 04/28/2011 - 8:48pm"By forbidding the use of social media sites in 52% of our nation’s classrooms, schools are suppressing a learning revolution that is characterized by several truths: 1) facility with social media tools is critical to learning and working in the 21st century; 2) 75% of online adolescents are already social networking outside of school; 3) many students hack through Internet filters during class; and 4) exploration of social media sites is part of the adolescent identity. Teachers might not value, use, or understand social media tools, but they need to. Not authorizing the use of these new tools will lead students to question teacher’s relevance in helping teens negotiate the 21st century." (Blog post by Todd Finley on Edutopia)

Friday Feature: Free 'Video Book' From MIT Press Challenges Limits of Scholarship
Submitted by sgough on Fri, 02/25/2011 - 2:15pmFree 'Video Book' From MIT Press Challenges Limits of Scholarship
The Chronicle of Higher Education, Feb. 20, 1022
"Ms. Juhasz, a professor of media studies, felt that her students needed to participate in this new medium in order to critique it. The same was true of her work: Academic writing on YouTube demands videos, not just words."
"That idea got a major boost this month when the MIT Press released Learning From YouTube, a free "video book" that was written by Ms. Juhasz and grew out of her class. It's the first time the press has published an online-only book, and it helped developers build a new platform for authorship that they hope will be used for more such works. It's also a test of academic waters: Will similar publications, backed by established presses, count toward tenure?"

Submitted by sgough on Fri, 02/11/2011 - 12:47pmChallenge Based Learning: Take Action and Make a Difference
Students embrace media that presents participants with a challenge and requires them to draw on prior learning, acquire new knowledge, and tap their creativity to fashion solutions. The entertainment networks have capitalized on this formula with shows like The Amazing Race, Top Chef, Trading Spaces, and Project Runway in which participants creatively draw on their knowledge and resources to create appropriate solutions to challenges. To address the need to create new ways of engaging students to achieve, Apple worked with educators across the country to develop the concept of Challenge Based Learning.
This is a website sponsored by Apple that promotes the concept of challenge-based learning and has videos, research papers, and other resources.
