Remote Learner- Gavin Henrick
Gmail Account – creating an account.
Blogging www.blogger.com – constructing for other people, can be for project updates – students working together, can provide tips, blog post (an idea or short story)
An RSS Feed – it is written so computers can read it, if you use Feed Burner: www.feedburner.com – it looks better. You can also add it to your blog.
Micro Blogging is Twitter – short quick updates rather than a long post. It is only a short number of characters (140). Hash tags are an index field that people use to talk about different items about a particular topic.
Twitter is a back channel, you can comment during a session and they can have a discussion. Throw your message to the twitters and anyone that responds is directly interested in what you are talking about. Millions of people are tweeting during the day. You can have a PLN – Personal Learning Network, this can help you grow and get answer to your question that you might not know. You are making connections with other. If you post a question on Twitter to your followers, and one of your followers copy the question and post it to their followers you question has now gotten access to others in a short time. Another word for this is called Gossip J Sharing knowledge with others has become way easier
Tweet Deck: www.tweetdeck.com – or http://HootSuite.com can be used on IPad, IPhone, on your desktop, following a lot of information at one time
* If you do a search in Twitter – click on retweet – it comes from you but the person that posted it gets credit. Like sharing a note from someone to others. Retweeting can be used in Education – when researching different things on a project if a students finds something, the teacher can retweet to the rest of the class. Or another classmate can retweet to other classmates.
