Learning is Change

While it only scans the first 10,000 files in your Google Drive, it is highly unlikely that most of you will have that many. I really like having this amazing list of all of my Google Docs and the folks that it is shared with. Interestingly, this also works with your open @gmail.com accounts, so you can see which docs are shared with GAFE domains. I am thinking of a bunch of new ways to use this dynamic list of docs, but let me know if you come up with any interesting ones.

Working Examples

Working Examples is a vehicle for ideating and building radical innovations to change education. We’re a community of researchers, designers and educators working at the intersection of education and technology. ‘Examples’ (ideas, work and projects) allow us to explore new ideas, learn from each other and collaborate to change the future of education. This growing community of practice is a movement that will elevate the field beyond an individual’s potential by changing how we do work and inviting experts from different perspectives into the process. Join us, create something revolutionary.

I’m very excited about the idea of using social media as currency within a kickstarter-like program. Go and check it out, because it kind of boggles the mind with possibility.

Thunderclap

If a tweet falls in the forest… Social media is an easy way to say something, but it’s a difficult way to be heard. Thunderclap is the first-ever crowdspeaking platform that helps people be heard by saying something together. It allows a single message to be mass-shared, flash mob-style, so it rises above the noise of your social networks. By boosting the signal at the same time, Thunderclap helps a single person create action and change like never before.
