Random thread for random yet great info on social media to pass on

We'll use this as a thread to post interesting relevant links we randomly come across. To subscribe or to add a link to this, just click on comment.

here's one from the WSJ online: Mars Snackfood says it redesigned the site to better connect with its core teenage audience, which spends a lot of time using social media. "The teen audience relies heavily on their peers for advice on products. This is a unique, unexpected way to engage and to be a part of the conversation," says spokesman Ryan Bowling.

    This one has been around for a bit but I just recently saw it again. How will this change the way we view technology as an educational tool?

    The Microsoft Surface Computing video reminds of an idea one company is trying to get off the ground in music. Its a music stand with a "music reader built in, so you would no longer be using regular sheet music to read. There is talk of including editing tools, so one can hear the music played and the performer can add markings to annotate their part.

    I would also like to see something built in so performers/students can comment on what they are doing, respond to an issue that comes up in their performance - maybe just a brief "twitter-like" comment informing classmates or the teacher in real time what they are struggling with, feel good about, etc. This would provide the basis for making further activities more meaningful and student-centered. Yes, I'm reading more John Dewey...

    Interesting… I might try some of this on my blog, too. It’s quite interesting how you sometimes stop being innovative and just go for an accepted solution without actually trying to improve it… you make a couple of good points.
