The Twitter Experiment at UT Dallas Monica Rankin's Home Page Some general comments on the “Twitter Experiment” by Monica Rankin (UT Dallas) There has been a lot of interest in the “Twitter Experiment” video posted by Kim Smith chronicling my U.S. Mapping Stereotypes Get your copy on: Amazon US / Amazon UK / Amazon DE / Amazon FR / Amazon IT / Amazon ES / Amazon Canada / Amazon Japan / Amazon India / Amazon Brazil Atlas of Prejudice: The Complete Stereotype Map Collection Jeux de vocabulaire The bab.la Games are not only fun and entertaining but also very educating. How great would it be to learn new words without studying your vocabulary lists by heart? With the bab.la Games you will find it easier to remember the new words you learnt and you will enjoy language learning! Learning a language can be a real challenge. It is difficult to remember all the new words, grammar rules and expressions. It is rather simple for children to learn a new language; the older you become the less you have the ability to remember words and coordinate different languages in your head.

The Wired Campus - Professor Encourages Students to Pass Notes D Cole W. Camplese, director of education-technology services at Pennsylvania State University at University Park, prefers to teach in classrooms with two screens — one to project his slides, and another to project a Twitter stream of notes from students. He knows he is inviting distraction — after all, he’s essentially asking students to pass notes during class. But he argues that the additional layer of communication will make for richer class discussions. Mr. Camplese first tried out his idea in a course he co-taught last spring to about 20 graduate students at Penn State.

Easy Summer Word Search Puzzles Professors experiment with Twitter as teaching tool Facebook may be the social medium of choice for college students, but the microblogging Web tool Twitter has found adherents among professors, many of whom are starting to experiment with it as a teaching device. People use Twitter to broadcast bite-sized messages or Web links and to read messages or links posted by others. It can be used as a source of news, to listen to what people in certain groups are talking about, or to communicate with experts or leaders in certain fields. Marquette University associate professor Gee Ekachai uses Twitter to discuss what she's teaching in class with students and connect them with experts in the field of advertising and public relations. Instructor Linda Menck, who also teaches at Marquette, encourages students to include social media as a strategy in marketing campaigns for clients.

Is the U.S. Population Getting Older and More Diverse?, Alexa Jones-Puthoff, U.S. Census Bureau - Newsroom Friday, June 14, 2013 at 8:15 a.m. EDT Alexa Jones-Puthoff, chief of the Population Estimates Branch, will appear live on C-SPAN's "Washington Journal" to discuss characteristics about the U.S. population. View the archived segment Pupils to study Twitter and blogs in primary shake-up Children will no longer have to study the Victorians or the second world war under proposals to overhaul the primary school curriculum, the Guardian has learned. However, the draft plans will require some children to master Twitter and Wikipedia and give teachers far more freedom to decide what youngsters should be concentrating on in classes. The proposed curriculum, which would mark the biggest change to primary schooling in a decade, strips away hundreds of specifications about the scientific, geographical and historical knowledge pupils must accumulate before they are 11 to allow schools greater flexibility in what they teach. It emphasises traditional areas of learning - including phonics, the chronology of history and mental arithmetic - but includes more modern media and web-based skills as well as a greater focus on environmental education. The proposals would require:

Online education ? The Reality-Based Community For my sins, I guess, I’m a member of the Berkeley faculty Committee on Courses of Instruction. Things are looking up for this gig, though, because there’s growing interest on campus and at the university level in online instruction, and the committee is starting to seriously deliberate this very interesting issue. Not surprisingly, I guess, a lot of the action is going on in the wrong arena, looking for ways to cut costs “without reducing educational outcomes”, and this approach will assuredly wind up cutting costs and only reduce quality somewhat. But it’s almost certain that we could actually teach more, better, and cheaper with technology if we go at it wisely.

You Want Smarter, More Collaborative Students? First, Fix The Tables Everyone lauds the benefits of collaboration, and yet students usually sit apart from one another, stuck behind their individual desks. The Dutch designers Rianne Makkink & Jurgen Bey have updated the classic trestle table into a flexible system that stretches to accommodate group projects. One or two trestle desks can be combined with a larger tabletop to form an elongated work surface.
