The document discusses the debate around online dating versus offline dating. It provides perspectives from sources on both sides of the issue. Some of the key points made include: online dating provides convenience and allows people to efficiently find others with shared interests, but it may also discourage commitment and people from putting effort into real-world interactions since there is always another match available online. Ultimately, different people have different preferences for how to meet partners based on their lifestyle and needs.

This document discusses OpenCourseWare (OCW), an international effort by universities and organizations to share educational materials online freely and openly. Over 250 institutions have contributed over 12,000 courses to OCW, including materials like syllabi, lecture notes, assignments, and exams. Content is made available under open licenses to allow for free use, modification, and sharing with proper attribution. The OCW movement has seen over 29 million annual visits to its online materials from a global audience seeking openly available education resources.

Social networking sites like Twitter and Tumblr allow users to connect and share information online. While social media allows for communication, research shows it can also negatively impact teens' self-image and privacy when not used carefully. Sources discuss popular sites, online safety tips, and studies on the psychological effects of social networking.

Online dating has grown significantly in popularity, with some sites having over 20 million members. However, psychologists note some weaknesses in relying solely on online profiles to find matches and point out that developing a lasting relationship takes ongoing work, not just finding the perfect match through algorithms. While online dating allows for more connections, it also enables greater deception, as studies found people often lie about physical attributes and life details in their profiles. Overall, online dating provides more opportunities for meeting people but developing a committed relationship takes effort regardless of how the couple met initially.

The document discusses issues around oversharing personal details online through blogging. It examines cases of bloggers who have experienced notoriety, both positive and negative, from openly writing about their sex lives and relationships.

The document considers how to balance transparency with privacy and avoid potential regrets from oversharing too much information publicly.

The document discusses how learning is becoming more networked and less dependent on traditional schools. It argues that the smartest person is no longer an individual, but the collective group or "room". Learning is now social and connected between people around the world. New models of learning leverage the internet to make learning immersive, mobile, collaborative and allow learners to learn from experts anywhere through tools like video chat. The future of learning will be participatory with students learning from each other through sharing ideas online.

This document discusses the concept of transliteracy and how libraries can help students navigate, evaluate, share, and create information in today's complex digital world.

This document discusses the importance of sharing and accountability in professional learning communities. It argues that sharing allows educators to connect with each other and learn from one another. When educators share their work openly online, it fosters collaboration, reflection on teaching practices, and continuous learning and improvement. However, oversharing can also bring risks, so educators must find the right balance of autonomy, connections, and transparency that works for their situation. Overall, creating a culture of trust and open sharing holds educators mutually accountable in a natural way.

Dylan Wilbanks presented at HighEdWeb 2010 after working in higher education web roles for 10 years. He shared 10 lessons learned over that time. The first was to focus on mission over statements. The second was to love users as yourself by being relentless about improving the web and world for them. The third was to understand your audience, as prospective students should be the top priority. He also learned to use data strategically, find allies to push back on processes, have secret projects but ensure other work gets done, teach others, leverage community help, and love rather than be bitter about higher education.

This document is a series of tweets by @mrjoe about designing web forms. Some of the key points made include: 1) @mrjoe has conducted over 500 user research sessions and sees a lot of frustration with forms. Common problems include unclear field labels, required fields not marked, and difficulty interacting with form elements. 2) Psychological cues can encourage more honest responses from users, like adding an image of eyes to imply watching. Simplicity is best, like replacing drag and drop with clearly labeled buttons. 3) Many HTML5 form elements are problematic for users and go against principles of good design, such as small click targets, unnecessary JavaScript interactions, and fields that don't clearly communicate their purpose or constraints.

The document discusses the importance of joy, play, and fun in learning. It references several studies and experts that found joyful and playful learning to be more effective, humane, and child-appropriate than rigid, outcomes-focused education. The document suggests that creating fun videos or projects with students, even if just for the joy of it, can have educational benefits and help students develop important skills despite not being tied to strict curricular outcomes. It questions whether teachers will be remembered for their ability to foster joy in learning or merely their expectations and standards.

The document discusses several dichotomies in education such as procedural vs conceptual learning in math, protecting students vs giving them freedom, efficiency vs delight, and focusing on weaknesses vs strengths. It suggests that the answer to these issues is often "both" and highlights the importance of balancing different priorities in education to best serve students. Several images and quotes are included that discuss cultivating joy in learning, preparing students for unknown future problems, and investing in student strengths.

The document discusses how new communication tools have changed storytelling and enabled new forms of sharing stories and information through hashtags, memes, remixes, and other creative works. It suggests curriculum should focus more on student creation using these tools rather than just consumption, and that students should document and show their learning through video, slides, and other multimedia instead of just paper. Fostering creativity through remixing, storifying, and memes can unleash new forms of learning. Going through education without creating videos would be like going without writing. Play and imagination are important for helping students make sense of constant change. Failure in experimenting with possibilities provides valuable learning. Short, creative works like six-word stories show powerful ideas can

The document discusses how leadership has changed over time and ways leadership can impact culture.

The overall message is that leadership should focus on empowering others and building an open, supportive culture through both words and actions.
