Week+Three+Readings

This week an example of some connected conversations around a couple of themes. As always make sure you check out the comment stream

> Right now there is a conversation that is going on in #EDChat about the impact that social media has on education. > Recently, I read a great post about social media as a potential “game changer” in education. It got me thinking about the concept of a so called game changer. > Last night’s UK Ed Chat was on the topic of Independent Learning. It was fast and furious and left me buzzing. > It’s a good question and one many schools are asking. Whether is because of the free-flowing nature of the content and material or the potential for distraction sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube many others are being blocked by institutions. >
