Hey all:
I’m working on a joint project with Howard Rheingold, who is teaching at Stanford and Berkeley. We’re developing a Wiki source for educators who don’t know how social media works, but who might want to include the technology in their classrooms.
As part of this, we are working on three areas that could use a little student muscle. I’m willing (if you are) to have them sign up as an independent study project, directed by Howard and I. Two of the jobs require some technical knowledge, but one of them doesn’t. So…if you have some good students, please send them on the way.
The three tasks:
- We need a DRUPAL programmer for a project (more details on this on Monday. We’re developing a content management system for publishing.)
- We’re doing a series of videos/screen-by-screen captures to explain not only what each individual technology is, but how it works. Ideally, we need someone with some video experience. We can kludge through the screen capture software – and I (or the student) will do the on-camera videos.
- We’re developing a comprehensive list of syllabi and social media technologies. We need someone who is smart and organized, who can help us gather up all this info.
ANYWAY…
If you have students who are interested, this Social Media classroom will launch in August at Berkeley and Stanford. We’re developing a companion course here at NKU (set for Spring 2009), where our classes will collaborate on projects.
Thanks.
End of Line.
