How To Set Up ‘Alerts’ To Monitor Conversations!
An important part of my daily blogging routine is monitoring mentions of me or my blogs on the Internet. Yes sounds very vain! And this is why bloggers normally refer to this as ‘Vanity Alerts.’ I’ll tell you how I do it below — but first let’s talk about why it’s a common blogging practice. How Vanity Alerts [...]Tips For Measuring Post Success: Part 1 Bookmarking
Analyzing blog metrics always gives me a headache! But as a blogger it’s important to know ‘Is the content you’re providing is fulfilling your readers needs?” Metrics provide you with insights into how your readers are interacting with your content and the type of content that interests them. Trouble is there’s numerous metrics you can use, each [...]Managing Students on Blogs…What Role Do You Assign Students?
I’ve been asked a lot lately about ‘roles of users’ and what role should you assign student users on blogs. Unfortunately there isn’t a simple answer because it’s a balance between: How much responsibility you’re comfortable with assigning your students School and District guidelines Providing them with an environment that’s motivating So I’ve decided to explain the different user roles [...]Announcing The Winners Of The “Share your tips–and win BIG!” Competition!

I’ve been approached to do an interview by Ingrid Maack who is writing an article about the use of social networking websites within early childhood environments. Ingrid’s a journalist at Rattler Magazine (published by Armedia). We don’t often get the chance to get our message across to educators and parents using traditional news media. But why limit [...]Sue Waters's Page

Hi Samran, the trouble with wikis is although you can have more than one person writing on the same page at the same time it is not a good idea. What normally happens is one persons work will overwrite the other person.

The "23 Things program" is excellent. The key to its success depends on the level of support built into the program.

- About Me
- My name is Sue Waters and I’m the person behind Mobile Technology. You may also know me as the editor of The Edublogger
“I am about practical application of technologies in education, and most importantly HELPING OTHERS”.
I have been sharing my experiences with Web 2.0, e-learning and m-learning (mobile learning) using a range of web sites since early 2006.
Many of my sites are called Mobile Technology in TAFE because my original focus was mlearning. Nowadays my sites cover a wide range of information on using technology with students. TAFE stands Tertiary and Further education which is part of the vocational education and training sector.
Here are my sites:

Ron Smuin said… - Hi, Sue:
I still have 4 or 5 students who cannot get to their dashboards. On their own blogsite, when they click on site admin, they get kicked back to the class site dashboard. They are unable to post to their own blog.
carmi5spma, carmi5cimu, forget who the others are.
Still unable to use edublogs forums.
my own email is found by concatenating the strings, "carmi", "blogs", the at sign, and the name of google's email service. Thanks.

Marian Thacher said… - Hi Sue,
I am the director of an adult education project in California that focuses on technology, and we are producing our fall newsletter. I would like to highlight a quote I paraphrased from your wiki, http://suewaters.wikispaces.com/ (which I love, by the way.) I need an outside voice supporting the use of read/write web options to expand our knowledge and connections. Do you feel comfortable with this as a quote?
Personal Learning Networks (PLNs) are all about using web tools such as blogs, wikis, and email lists to create connections with others which extend our learning, increase our reflection, and enable us to learn together as part of a global community. PLNs increase our opportunities to ask questions and receive help compared to our normal daily face-to-face interactions.

I might have to take out the last sentence. What about the credit, do you have a different title you would like me to use?
Thanks, Sue, and thanks for all your good work! I've been coming across your name for a few years now.

I am wondering if you can help me out? It's a very basic question! I work for School Libraries in NSW and we have used your wonderful Edublogs for ages to create our blogs. Now the appearance has slightly changed and I literally don't know how to create a new blog! Our primary blog is at http://rapblog.edublogs.org/
I seem to be creating a new post within an old blog, called Wildfrid blog, when what I want to do is set up 2 new addresses called http://rapblog6.edublogs.org/ [name: Bear and Chook books rap] and rapblog7.edublogs.org/ [name: Term 4 HSC Belonging 2009]
Could you ring me if you have a minute and walk me through it on 98867478 - I am so sorry I don't get it.... It must be something so simple that I am stuffing up!!
Cheers

In December I had never seen a Wiki. My students and I jumped in with both feet and haven't looked back. The students are very excited to have a real audience. Please take a look at what they've created so far. RPG Maker XP Help. We would appreciate any feedback you have. Currently the wiki is protected, so you'll have to either email me your feedback or give it through Classroom 2.0.
Thanks!

With your work in mLearning and Ed Tech, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.

I'm interested in the survey you did on computer literacy before a training (mentioned back in July, I think). Where can I see the actual survey, if you don't mind sharing?
