Hadrian som havde et interessant indlæg om, hvorledes man kan fremme den studerendes autonomi og dermed deres evner til at tage ansvar for egen læring var meget interesseret i, at Marianne og jeg indgik i et projekt sammen med ham. Den skandinaviske pædagogik lægger vægt netop på dette aspekt gennem projektarbejder m.v. og Hadrian mente, at vores syn på og erfaring med disse former for tilrettelæggelse af undervisningen kunne være interessant. Jeg var glad for, at han fangede min pointe om collaborativt arbejde og hvordan de mange muligheder indenfor social software kan virke som støttende redskaber for sådanne processer.
Marianne havde desværre ikke mulighed for at overvære mit indlæg, men vi havde talt en del om indlægget tidligere og hun var meget interesseret i at invitere mig til Örebro og holde det samme indlæg. Det ser jeg selvfølgelig frem imod.
Selv var jeg ikke så tilfreds med indlægget. Jeg havde fået at vide, at der ikke var mulighed for at afholde en workshop og havde derfor tilrettelagt mit indlæg som en gennemgang med eksempler. Men det viste sig, at indlægget skulle holdes i ikt-lokalerne, hvor hver studerende ganske som hos os, sad ved hver sig pc-er. Det var bestemt ikke fremmende for opmærksomheden og det ville have været langt bedre, hvis jeg havde lagt nogle praktiske øvelser ind. Men her føler man virkelig, at det kræver store sprogkundskaber at improvisere så meget. Så jeg holdt mig til det trygge og planlagte. Men jeg har til gengæld lovet mig selv, at én anden gang vil jeg være forberedt på begge dele, altså livrem og seler.
Herunder mit indlæg - ikke alt er skrevet ned...
Web 2.0 or social software or social media is the use of electronic and Internet tools for the purpose of sharing and discussing information and experiences with other human beings.
The map of Web 2.0 (slide 7) identifies a series of keywords to this second generation of web-based communities and hosted services:
1. Participation - we are no longer consumers, which only retrieves information from the network, but we contribute as producers.
2. Usability - Accessibility, it is possible for users to access, so long as they have access. Facilities / technologies are online anytime, anywhere.
3. Mobility - Mobility is related to accessibility. If it is possible to access only through a network access anytime, anywhere the user is mobile and independent.
4. Joy of Use - fun to use. This is also implied that it should be so simple that anyone can learn to use it.
5. Sharing - sharing knowledge / information. The technology should include opportunities for interaction among the users.
6. Collaboration - it must be possible to collaboraate, ie. produce together - all are dependent on each other.
7. Folksonomy - also known as collaborative tagging, social classification, social indexing, social tagging, etc. (Wikipedia / Folksonomy). A concept which is certainly easier to understand through a concrete example, I have chosen del.icio.us as an example.
Web 2.0 or social software or social media is the use of electronic and Internet tools for the purpose of sharing and discussing information and experiences with other human beings.
Blogs are used in different ways:
Personal Blogs - an ongoing diary or commentary by an individual, is the traditional, most common blog. Often more than a way to just communicate; they become a way to reflect on life or works of art and is often faster than e-mailing or writing. This form of social media lends to an online generation
Corporate Blogs - a community working together with a topic (resarch etc.).
Question Blogging - is a type of blog that answers questions.
By Media Type - A blog comprising videos is called a vlog, one comprising links is called a linklog, a site containing a portfolio of sketches is called a sketchblog or one comprising photos is called a photoblog.
By Device - Blogs can also be defined by which type of device is used to compose it. A blog written by a mobile device like a mobile phone or PDA could be called a moblog.
By Genre - Some blogs focus on a particular subject, such as political blogs, travel blogs, project blogs, education blogs, classical music blogs and you name it.
We have merged all this together at UC South. Our Erasmus students – international students following the program Living and Learning together – are using blogs as their personal portfolio containing:
College and school experience;
school visits, ways of and views on teaching and learning at college and in the schools, relationships between students and teacher, compulsory and optinal subjects etc
Cultural differences;
impressions of cultural differences, life styles, students life, traditions, behavior, attitudes, surroundings, excursions etc.. Use photos!!
Learning process;
their own learning process, notes from subjects and lessons taught, something that made an impression, something they would like to know more about etc..
Teaching practice;
ideas from your practice periods, observations and teaching ideas.
The final product can be an PP prensentation or they can use the labels to navigate.
Wikipeida gives a lot of examples on each one - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weblog#Types - accessed 10.09.08

Delicious uses a non-hierarchical classification system in which users can tag each of their bookmarks with freely chosen index terms (generating a kind of folksonomy). A combined view of everyone's bookmarks with a given tag is available; for instance, the URL "http://delicious.com/tag/wiki" displays all of the most recent links tagged "wiki". Its collective nature makes it possible to view bookmarks added by similar-minded users.

YouTube is a video sharing website where users can upload, view and share video clips Upload from your desktop, send by email, or use your cameraphone.
Before the launch of YouTube in 2005, there were few simple methods available for ordinary computer users who wanted to post videos online. With its easy to use interface, YouTube made it possible for anyone who could use a computer to post a video that millions of people could watch within a few minutes. The wide range of topics covered by YouTube has turned video sharing into one of the most important parts of Internet culture.
