Le coup de colère du fondateur du premier réseau social mondial en ligne illustre les tensions croissantes entre le secteur technologique et le gouvernement après une série de révélations sur de vastes programmes de surveillance. Le président-directeur général du réseau social Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, a averti jeudi 13 mars que le gouvernement états-unien minait la confiance en Internet et n'en faisait pas assez pour rassurer le public sur la liberté et la sécurité en ligne.

What is important to you in a PLN? I like to network broadly to continuously challenge and stretch the contexts of my thinking, AND connect specifically with others in K-12 ELL, literacy and professional learning to collaborate in addressing shared challenges.
Thanks for being part of my network!

I can probably find a better source, but this slideshow is a reminder that students who are self-aware of the PLN they are using are more likely to make strategic choices and learn more of what they are interested in. Creating a PLN based on a specific interest or goal would make an excellent independent study.

Recently I had a really great conversation with an outstanding principal (and now friend) I met through connections on Social Media. One of the things that came up was my distain for negativity, specifically among our peers. I’m not talking As an educator on social media this medium has allowed me to learn incredible things and connect with a huge variety of people I would have never had the opportunity to connect with. Being connected through Social Media and using these resources/connections has absolutely made me a better Principal and has enabled me to help improve the learning that is going on at our school. To me this is an absolute WIN-WIN for everyone! THIS IS SOMETHING TO BE POSITIVE ABOUT!

According to Facebook's news page, the service has 1.23 billion active users, a little over 20% of the population of the world. Twitter has around 200 million. These services, or something like them, have become increasingly important in our lives, influencing the news media and a variety of public decision making processes. Between a need for security and utility, we need to start learning, then teaching, then learning some more, how to best use social media, and classrooms are not the only place where this needs to be done.

How-to’s and link roundups on teaching with Twitter has been done many times before, but the topic is worth frequent revisiting and refreshing, especially in the context of the #FutureEd initiative and the Pedagogy Project by HASTAC Scholars. The goal of this review is to help think through if, why, and how to use Twitter in our teaching and learning – especially for those who remain skeptical.

I really like this article because it is very effective at weighing the pros and cons of using twitter in the classroom. Some of the supplemental links are also very helpful to look at and include content on how to teach with Twitter and how to avoid some of the pitfalls that can result from using Twitter in a classroom setting. In general, I believe strongly in helping students to develop global competency (as we have discussed in class) and I believe that Twitter is one of the best and most convenient mediums to do this. While I am slightly apprehensive about how and if it is even possible to use Twitter in an elementary school classroom I definitely see more potential in using it after reading this article.

As a tweeter of education tweets (many, many education tweets), I often find myself on lists that people put out as recommendations. Whenever that happens there will be a number of people who will ...
Another criticism that I have become most sensitive to recently is faulting an educator for “not even being a teacher”. Not every educator is a classroom teacher. That does not mean they aren’t educators. That doesn’t mean they can’t offer valid information, or considered opinions. (I do draw the line at non-educators making education policy. That is another discussion for another bottle of wine.) Administrators technically are not classroom teachers.

A class-action suit claims that the social networking site monitors and uses your messages for advertising purposes.
The class-action lawsuit, submitted by Arkansas lawyer Matt Campbell and Michael Hurley from Oregon on Monday at the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, says that the social networking giant monitors users' private messages in order to compile and mine data which can be used to profile web activity.
===> This data can then allegedly be used for profit through sales to marketers and advertisers -- who then can target ads based on the user's online behavior. <===
