  16. Making Connections In connectivism, learning involves creating connections and developing a network. It is a theory for the digital age drawing upon chaos, emergent properties, and self organised learning. (It’s not what you know but who you know) cc Steve Wheeler, University of Plymouth, 2009

  22. What is your social media routine?

  23. What is the Social Web?

  24. Let’s look at some tools

  25. Remember You don’t have to like everything

  26. Blogs • A blog (a blend of the term web log)is a type of website. • Blogs are usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. • Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog. • Most blogs are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments and even message each other via widgets on the blogs and it is this interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites. • Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. • A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs.

  27. Blogs and Blogging

  28. Twitter • ‘Microblogging’ based on SMS technology, so very limited in functionality • Users send and read messages known as tweets. • Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters • Users follow others and are sent their tweets • Hashtags (tags that begin with #) can be used to theme or track Tweets • Quick easy to use

  29. Microblogging

  30. Flickr, YouTube • Flickr – for storing and sharing photos. Over 4 billion images. • YouTube – for video clips. More then 2 billion views per day, more than 24 hours of video loaded every minute. • More old-fashioned one-way communication – someone puts it up there and others go and look at it - like Departmental website or intranet. • However, like these the lines are blurring and these are developing an interactive element. • Most UK government departments and many local councils have accounts.

  31. Photo Sharing http://www.flickr.com

  32. Slideshare • SlideShare is a business media site for sharing presentations, documents and pdfs. • Content also spreads virally through blogs and social networks such as LinkedIn, Facebook and twitter. What you can do: • Embed slideshows into your own blog or website. • Share slideshows publicly or privately. • Synch audio to your slides. • Market your own event on slideshare. • Join groups to connect with SlideShare members who share your interests. • Download the original file

  33. Presentation Sharing http://www.slideshare.net

  34. Wikis • A wiki is a website that allows the creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser. • Wikis are often used to create collaborative works. Examples include community websites, corporate intranets, knowledge management systems, and note services. • The software can also be used for personal note taking.

  36. It’s a different way of working

  37. Mashups • A mash-up is a Web page or application that integrates complementary elements from two or more sources. • Like blogs, tweets and tagging , mashups are part of an on-going shift towards a more interactive and participatory Web ( Web 2.0 ) with more user-defined content and services.

  41. Communities of Practice • Run by LGID, launched in December 2007. • Free. • Password protected so not open to the world. • Need separate login but doesn’t time out. • Hackable, so apply Daily Mail test. • Over 80,000 registered members, more than 1,500 communities. • Just over half from local authorities.
