What Is Newsmastering And What Are Newsradars? RSS News Aggregation And Re-Publishing For Beginners - Robin Good's Latest News
August 15 at 7:42 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link
"The unique value that the newsmaster brings into the information economy equation is the more formal acknowledgement and introduction of a human-based news filtering into the news distribution mechanism. The newsmaster helps the system scale, provides higher quality and more relevant content to be accessible by a greater number of people, does the dirty job of categorizing, ordering and separating news according to specific audiences and interests." - Paul Allison, NYC teacher via Bookmarklet

"The idea then would be that if you know how to post to a blog, you automatically know how to assign a blog, and that when you do, the results will in most ways mimic the real-world application of the tool. There are several problems with this assumption. First, while traditional assignment structures do transfer to blog structures fairly cleanly, they do not automatically transform themselves into interactive assignments as a result. In other words, while the blog world might be interactive, the assigned blog can very easily be no more than a complicated way to submit an individual essay. To give another example, while a community-authored blog, in which a group of people collectively author and comment and re-author a blog together, might represent a level-2 or a level-3 level application on O’Reilly’s continuum, a blog used to communicate documents primarily from the individual to the professor or from the professor to the individual, with little or no lateral movement ... - Paul Allison, NYC teacher via Bookmarklet
In the article, Sarah Hurlburt claims--I think correctly--that "personalization of the blog environment is necessary to create the private space effect described by Ducate (2005); it is a necessary component in the construction of a virtual identity for each student which is itself the foundation of any desired social or community effect (Becker & Henriksen, 2006)." However this is only the first of two points she concludes with. The second one is about finding better assessment tools that will allow us to give credit to and guidance for students comments on each others posts. I think this also something we have seen. I guess what I like about her article is that she emphasizes both the need for private-space and the building of a community of readers and responders. - Paul Allison, NYC teacher
I can see this article as a justification for creating another space for academic blogging, particularly Hurlburt's comment that "[I]nstructors need better monitoring tools, tools that will allow them to quietly track student activity through the class blogosphere, tools whose development has been actively suppressed in the public blogosphere because of privacy concerns. …The need for improved tracking tools in next generation LMS, tools that will allow instructors to better evaluate the sometimes-silent successes of blog exercises, is thus clear and pressing. Instructors able to follow the life of the virtual environment more closely from behind the scenes will better perform their role as open facilitator in the virtual learning environment, and in the process greatly increase their odds of success in leveraging the power of social networking software for educational purpose.” I am also intrigued by her beginning statement about the difference between blogging for natural purposes and in the academic sphere - Felicia

“What about Teachers Teaching Teachers (that are) Teaching Teachers”
July 30 at 7:08 pm - Link
We "EdTechies" discuss at length how to get students to use more technology tools like collaborative projects, blogging, link tagging and wikis. But I don't expect too much resistance from students. I expect resistance from TEACHERS that do not see why they should learn about these things when they've never needed them before. I am the Instructional Technology Chairman for my school. "In theory", I am responsible for the technical knowledge of the teachers and how they use it in the classroom. "In practice", I'm expected to show them how to attach files to their emails, and use the gradebook software (most still don't). I would like to see a group called "Teachers Teaching Teachers (that are) Teaching Teachers" for a little bit of support in my struggles. - Bob Caro

Education Week's Digital Directions: Educators Test the Limits of Twitter Microblogging Tool

"Paul R. Allison, a teacher at the East Bronx Academy for the Future in the 1.1 million-student New York City public schools and the technology liaison for the New York City Writing Project, which aims to improve the literacy and writing skills of New York City students through professional development for teachers, was also intrigued by Twitter. But he felt uncomfortable with the lack of control for teachers—a concern that has led many districts to block the Web site altogether. Consequently, he built a site in January called Youth Twitter, which allows teachers to edit students’ tweets by granting them “administrator” status" - Paul Allison, NYC teacher via Bookmarklet

Bill Fitzgerald writes: This is a quick overview. As with any implementation, the details would need to be clarified to the point where we could generate solid design mockups of the key screens. But, given what I've seen of the functional requirements, Drupal would provide an ideal platform for this functionality. Building this site in Drupal, from open source components, and documenting the process would allow any organization who wanted a site like this to create it; or, several schools could join together to use a common space. - Paul Allison, NYC teacher
