Eduardo Peirano's Comments

Hola Eduardo, voy a seguir tu consejo y voy a unirme a College 2.0. Efectivamente soy profesor universitario pero tengo también una compañía que desarrolla seminarios para profesores de educación media sobre la transformación de la práctica docente, así como talleres de emprendedurismo sistémico colaborativo para jóvenes de educación media.

I have now added you to my delicious network as well Eduardo. And, I've already picked up a new, very useful link, thanks!
I can't say that I find facebook very 'useful', but rather, I have enjoyed using it as a social space to connect with friends I don't often see on a day-to-day basis. I was just reconnected hours ago with a kid I used to coach water polo in 1992... he is now a lawyer who went to Princeton - wow how time flies! I keep my Facebook space as my personl social space, and I enjoy it being seperate from my other online identities- for example, I do not accept friendships from my students (I turn them down politely and explain that this is a space I use for peers), I use it for personal 'me time' and not as a means to extend my online self further... although one of my friends/colleagues uses facebook as his blog and central online hub.
Dave.
(I tried to post this on you wall just now and it got added to my wall???)

Amazing how things tie up - e.g Classroom 2.0 and the lecturer at ISWI I've
just been to hear, who cited

http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/33/9/38645447.pdf

It's rather an academic read but I have come back to the PC to look it up because the lecturer, talking at that point about OER (Open Educational Resources) said
"You have to remember that *someone* always pays" when knowledge is being "freely" shared.

Haven't got time to do more than stimulate discussion, but I'd love to hear your and other people's thoughts on
who pays for all the lovely stuff (or even the crummy, confusing stuff) learners can find on the Internet.

Hello Eduardo,
Thanks for the note about LinkedIn. I'm still figuring out how to make that tool useful and to be honest, you are the first online friend that I noticed as being a member. It is interesting to see what web2.0 tools become part of who I am and what I do. Facebook has quickly become my personal social place on-line, and Explode is a neat tool to keep up with many people that I don't follow otherwise, but I'm in a mode of trying to reduce my online time... so I will see what tools like LinkedIn do for me before fully embracing it.
Cheers,
Dave
ps. I see you like Delicious... LOVE it and can't live without it!

Hi Eduardo, I think you are also on Eduspaces.

Thanks for the welcome. I am looking forward to collaborating with enthusiastic teachers from around the world!!

Thanks for the invitation!! I am looking forward to the wealth of information available on technology integration.

Hi Eduardo,
Thank's for the invite. I enjoyed the College 2.0 Ning and am interested in following what you and your students are doing.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm interested in learning about all of the technologies available.

Thanx for the invite. I joined 2.0 to find international connections.... I work with k-2 (5-8 year olds) teachers and also High School teachers. Would love to set up blog, wiki, Skype, or flickr projects. Appreciate any leads.

Thanks again Eduardo for your advice. Next month I will create my own Social Network, hoping you will be with me. I let you know about the topic!
PS. Greetings to my friend David as well
