Web 2.0 Tools for Teachers - 1 views

  •  
    This is actually a short e-book I found on scribd.com about Web 2.0 tools. There are many tools here we did not even talk about. One intersting one in particular is Forvo. It's described as " a multilingual user generated pronunciation dictionary." You can search for words in many languages and add words yourself. Can't wait to check it out!

    Thanks Nikki! Me too.. could be useful for the next iteration of 678. I will compare it to the other Web 2.0 book in Scribd that we saw earlier in the course.

Facts, 360 B.C.-A.D. 2012 - chicagotribune.com - 1 views

  • There was an erosion of any kind of collective sense of what's true or how you would go about verifying any truth claims
  • Opinion has become the new truth.
  • Anybody can express an opinion on a blog or any other outlet and there's no system of verification or double-checking, you just say whatever you want to and it gets magnified. It's just kind of a bizarre world in which one person's opinion counts as much as anybody else's

  • I think the thing Americans ought to miss most about facts is the lack of agreement that there are facts. This means we will never reach consensus about anything.

    Humor piece that raises a serious question- has the rise of the internet with its preponderance of "facts" killed the possibility of consensus?

      WEEK 9 READ: can we say the same for classrooms and schools?
    • Carrie Bradley
       
      "There are about 131 million U.S. Facebook users between the ages of 18 and 64, and more than 500 million world-wide" Doesn't this prove that we need to use this web tool in as many ways as possible - education, business, etc.? I love how the facts provided relate to many of our concerns as teachers/professionals.

Education in Peru: Error message | The Economist - 1 views

      This reminded me of the TED talk about supplying poor rural Indian villages with computers as kind of a panacea.  It seems that a related experiment in Peru is yielding less stunning results.
