6.0 Social Web: Learning Together

Among the useful or interesting things Richardson shared in Ch. 6 was a tinyurl link to an old wiki on Twitter Collaboration by Nancy White (now writing here: http://www.fullcirc.com/ ). In her recent work she shares "some of the Twitter chats could serve as a model for a mobile-based distributed conversation by a community as well! Here are some examples in education", which links to the 9/11/12 Edudemic article on the Top 50 Twitter educational hashtags/chats. I've used #edchat before but some of the others were new to me and seem worth sharing. The chat descriptions are Edudemic's:

I agree that Diigo beats the pants off Delicious for annotating and sharing educational links, but I've also got a significant investment in my Delicious links and tags which will be hard to replicate in Diigo. Both sets of mine want curating and culling to bring them up-to-date. Among the more useful sets are ones I put together for colleagues, including http://delicious.com/msporteratfhs/challenger
and http://delicious.com/msporteratfhs/crucible, and for classes, like http://www.diigo.com/list/kathleenporter/diversity-education.
