Minigroup

Create your own private social network- Minigroup

Originally posted by jim @ Digital Goonies

Another social network? Really, do we need another one? Before you tune out, just hear me out. I keep up with my friends on Facebook. I have built my Personal Learning Network (PLN) using Plurk. Occasionally I use Twitter (though it seems a little redundant). In our office, we used to have a Ning- back in the days when it was simple and free. Social networks are really just a part of everyday living for digital natives and immigrants. But who is teaching our kids how to effective use and behave in social networks?

Our state (Texas) has recently released a new set of technology standards to teach our students. Social networking is threaded throughout. Since there are inherent risks in social networks, we really need a private social network that can be controlled and locked down- and here enters Minigroup. Here you can control who can join the group and delete posts as needed (if you are the controller). Members can make posts with text and images. They can share any kind of file with the group- or with specific individuals. It’s clean and easy to use.

Juxio -- Create New Meaning

Juxio began to allow people to easily create elegant, large-format posters for display at events such as birthdays, anniversaries and graduations. During Beta, they've added templates to simplify the poster-making process and to provide smaller formats for personal framing and gift-giving.
Businesses and schools have also experimented with Juxio during Beta. Educators in particular have found Juxio's simple, linear, organized way to tell stories a useful tool for the classroom. Going forward, they will explore additional organizational uses of Juxio such as fund-raising, brand promotion and image licensing.

Curriki

Curriki
WHAT IS CURRIKI?
Curriki, a play on the words 'curriculum' and 'wiki', is a not-for-profit organization that is building the first and only Internet site for Open Source Curriculum (OSC), which will provide universal access to free curricula and instructional materials for grades K-12.

We are focusing initially on developing an online repository for K-12 curricula in the areas of mathematics, science, technology, reading and language arts, and languages. We want this repository to attract everyone from educators, students and parents, to programmers, instructional designers, authors and public officials throughout the world to contribute or freely access quality learning materials.


WHY WAS CURRIKI STARTED?
Curriki was conceived from the idea that technology can play a crucial role in breaking down the barriers of the Education Divide—the division of inequality that prevents children worldwide from access to quality education.

Today, educators are searching for ways to deliver first-class, cost-effective learning resources and opportunities to their students. Learners are becoming discouraged by the mounting costs for textbooks, and the availability of other credible resources.

Curriki will make learning possible for anyone, anywhere in the world. This will drive personal growth and give opportunity to those who wouldn't otherwise have it. Perhaps, this exposure to education will even reveal the children who could solve some of our biggest problems of tomorrow.
