Learning is Change

This is possibly one of the best communities online that focuses on what is working in the classroom and in school districts around the world. I can’t get enough of the way this is formatted for collaboration and sharing. Really nice work.

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.
