Day Three

In day three, we talked about Tweetdeck, which is an interesting way to following Twitter. Twitter itself is useful networking tool. As a learning aid, however, I am kind of skeptical. It requires students to follow the feed and keep up with the instructor's tweets.

Creative Commons is one of those things that seems to be growing in popularity, especially among people who create digital content. I love that it makes content usable for educational purposes.

Wolfram Alpha at first sounds like something from a Joss Whedon TV series, but it is another useful tool for looking up information.

One thing that I think I disagree with is the Pecha Kucha approach to presentations. Maybe it's because I see PowerPoint slides as an aid to presentations and not the presentation themselves.
