SNT in Education; A follow up. #Edmodo

Following my post on Social Network Technology, the Education Lever, I decided to conduct some “research” on the internet. I wanted to find out if educators in Singapore have experimented or adopted SNT for learning. To my surprise, the answer was an astounding, YES! I chanced upon the article that spoke about teachers using Social Media for teaching. […]

SNT, the Education Lever.

Social Network Technology (SNT) is changing rapidly in today’s era. Every day, there seems to be a new communication application or social network tool that is being produced or developed. We used to have Internet Relay Chats and Friendster which are now replaced by the likes of Whatsapp, Tinder, Facebook, Instagram and the list goes […]

Wiki? Pedia? What? Camera?

The first time I tried Wikispaces was in class last week. Prior to that experience, I never knew such a platform existed. This was an eye opener to me. Call me a hermit but all I’ve ever known was Wikipedia. In application, Wikispaces and Wikipedia works the same way. The only difference is that one […]

Curation Tools – A Mini Review

I blogged about Personal Learning Networks a few days ago! One of the key aspects to establishing a PLN is to curate content. Being a hobbyist photographer for about 6 years now, I find it amusing that I have not established a PLN! I spend lots of time finding performance support resources on the internet […]

Do we Need Paper Textbooks in a Digital Age?

I was reading a commentary on Channel News Asia written by Dr. Tay Hui Yong about the benefits of digital textbooks and it’s potential of transforming learning in the classroom. Dr. Tay’s line of thought was that the student could conduct queries immediately and have access to multi-media platforms that in turn eliminates the one-directional education […]

What Happens to Your “Likes”?

Shopping on the internet is a breeze today. When I browse through the online stores, I will always receive recommendations on an item that I’m interested in. Adverts that pop up also seem to be related to my research on my next purchase. It looks like I’m being tracked. This was a phenomenon that I […]

It’s All About Collaboration.

In my previous post “Rethinking Crowdsourcing“, I suggested that with the world getting more interconnected via the internet, the notion of crowdsourcing as a strategy that used to be organizational driven would start to change.
