Make up a new new table from lists A and B showing which sites have or do not havepotential and challenges as platforms for:
i) Learning
ii) Professional development in the workplace
Site | Learning Potential in working space Yes/No | Comments |
Yahoo! | Y | Good directory site |
Twitter | N | I don’t care what people do from minute to minute. Year to year is so much better |
Bebo | N | School network disallows this site – it must be valueless according to DEET |
MySpace | Y | Encourages self promotion and information sharing |
Facebook | Y | The value depends on who are your friends. Dumb friends=Low value site |
RevYu | N | Everyone’s got an opinion on something and sometimes it’s useful |
YouTube | Y | A picture tells a 100 words- a video a million. Great learning platform |
Flickr | Y | See above. Getting images to tell stories and explain concepts is great! |
Ning | Y | Finally, a site that encourages people to talk to each other ONE subject at a time! |
SocialGo | Y | Not as silly as it sounds but really just a web building wizard. |
LinkedIn | Y | Great idea for people who see networking purely a stepping stone to knowledge and career building |
Digg | Y | Love it. A bit like Facebook but more focussed on documents than experience. |
Delicious | Y | Let the technology tell you what people are looking at. Great for marketers. No long term view. |
Bubbl.us | Y | Fantastic idea. Not enough sites that help the brainstorming in such a structured way. |
TeacherTube | Y | Teachers should be the best social networkers in the world because none have the time to develop all their own resources. |
reddit | Y | A bit like Revyu but more book focussed. Very useful. |
