Here is description of my project

Web 2.0 and social media can bring a new dimension and can reform education around the word because electronic communication helps teachers and students to learn from each other. These new technologies can stimulate discussion, open gateway through knowledge, promote creativity and innovation for effective learning. Teacher and also students should have an entitlement to safe internet access at all times.
Pulling Piaget and Papert, the use of participatory media tools in education is typically geared towards, creating a more student centered, adaptive environnement where learners can contribute to the course material, formulate and express their own insights and opinion, construct their own understanding of material by connecting concepts, to personal experience or current events, and learn from one another in collaborative environments. Web 2.0, social media and other digital and information technologies are powerful and interesting tools, which open up new opportunities for everyone and for this reason teachers and students must know how to use it nowadays in a safety mode.

Curation is Social Media King

I launch this project because Curation is the Social Media King and Next Big Thing still 2011 around the social web and social media curation tools are the gateway through semantic web 3.0 in #education20 and for this reason I invite teachers and researchers worldwide to join free this global project .
Curation is King of Knowledge in Social Media and the Art of : searching, selecting, sharing/bookmarking , tagging, organizing, interaction, communication . Steve Rosenbaum describe in his book Curation : (p 3-4) Curation is about adding value from humans … Curation is very much the core shift in commerce, editorial, and communities that require highly qualified humans. Humans aren’t extra, or special, or enhancements; humans arecurators. They do what no computer can possibly achieve.
(p 12-13) No longer is the algorithm in charge. Human curators have become essential software. What emerges is new human and computer collaboration … The important news of the emergence of a Curation Nation is that humans are very much back in charge.The Internet Curator's role is to seek on the web information related to a specific domain, filter them, select them, organise, share and present them in a unique way.
Now, if you have done any of that work before, you should know that doing so has many benefits, but is also very time consuming. I mean, you can always scour your friends blogs, do a search, visit news sites or other trusted sources available to you. But then, there is the matter of putting them all together, by copying and pasting, editing, among other things.
In essence, you choose a topic, research for the best articles out there, combine them into a post, publish, and share it to the world. That’s curating content!

1.Scoop.it is topic-centric, but we can’t forget that it’s first of all a social media The main difference with the others social media is essential: Scoop.it lets users follow topics, not people. Scoop.it brings you content on topics you’ve decided to follow, shared by other people on these topics. People we meet are users who are willing to discuss about the same subjects. What gather people together are their passions! We don’t always share our passions with our friends: especially if they are unusual.
In short, with Scoop.it you share content with people who are likely to find it relevant. Scoop.it enables to share things you would not normally share on other social Medias. Sometimes you find that it’s too risky to share links with your family, your colleagues or old classmates. They will also not necessarily be very interested in your passions. And above all, the information that you will find relevant, will not be lost in the middle of thousand other posts. And if you are a little bit curious (we are all), you will read the content on topics curated by other users who share the same interest, and you will comment their links.

2.Themeefy ia a cool new way to discover, curate, compile and publish knowledge to create your personal Theme magazine or online book . PS if you want a invitation leave a comment with your email and I will invite you to join the MAG . You must follow next steps to make a Themeefy mag . Research web sites and add interesting links directly from the Web. Upload photos, jot down notes and add a personal touch to your magazine. Pull in interesting social content from Twitter and Facebook. Customize the Theme magazine, publish it and share it . My first Online book is Curation Social Media King You can read more here about this new startup curation tool .

3.Chirpstory is an application to help manage your Twitter account and share Tweets in a fun and information fashion. A complete curation experience you won't find anywhere else.Chirpstory automatically loads the latest Tweets from your Twitter stream. You can also load Tweets from a specific user, keyword, or list and Organize favorite Tweets, conversations, and themed hashtags together to create fun and easy-to-read narratives out of the Twitter experience. Simply drag and drop Tweets into a timeline, edit, and then share your "Story" with the world. . Here I made my Chirpstory and in this story I will write my favorite curation edtools in #education20 . http://chirpstory.com/li/1603

4.SymbalooEdu a great resource for teachers. With Symbaloo you can: Gather the best content on the web about 1 topic, and present it on a webmix Share a webmix with other teachers, and students Discover useful webmixes in the Symbaloo Gallery to use in the classroom Share a webmix with parents to provide some insight of the used materials A worthy mention: Symbaloo is free of charge and doesn’t include any annoying ads.

5. Bootlenose Is a smarter way to surf the Stream. It's a new personalization tool that helps the important information find you in social networks like Twitter and Facebook. Use Bottlenose to track your interests, visualize trends, and curate knowledge with your friends. The Sharepocalypse is here to stay. Social networks are popping up left and right, and they're getting noisier. How do you cut through all this chaos? How do you make sense of your streams?
At Bottlenose they we're building a new social assistance application that helps you do just that. It helps navigate the depths of your networks and keep up with your social streams so you can engage more intelligently. But that's just the beginning: Bottlenose helps you hunt for what interests you, alerts you when something deserves your attention, and even helps you share and communicate more productively.

6. Scrible does for research what gmail did for email and I want to present you new scrible's changing how the world works online by transforming Web-based research but I hope will be free for education Even though the world uses the Internet to research nearly everything for work, school and home (job postings, press releases, Wikipedia articles, medical info, etc.), most folks still use old-school ways of annotating, organizing and sharing online info (printing to mark by hand, copying/pasting into Word, etc.). It's archaic, laborious and a waste of time. We're changing that. We're bringing Web-based research into the Internet Era by empowering people to mark up web pages in the browser and manage and collaborate on them online. And that's just the start...

7. Pearltrees is one of my favorite social media curation tools . Why use Pearltrees ?To cultivate your interests. Pearltrees is a place to organize discover and share everything you like on the web. You can keep at hand the web pages you like and enrich your account with Pearltrees from other members of the community. Who is Pearltrees made for ? Anybody who has ever wanted to keep a webpage (about a favorite movie, for researching travel, for conducting research or just because there are things you've found that you don't want to lose...) to retrieve it one day or to share it with someone. This means a lot of people!

8. BagTheWeb helps users curate Web content. For any topic, you can create a "bag" to collect, publish, and share any content from the Web. Beyond most curation tools' capability, BagTheWeb enables users to build networks of bags. Via bags, users can collect, publish, and share curated Web content in a simple and exciting way. Web content forms content networks, users form social networks, and content and social networks further connect. This way bags can be linked together to provide rich and complete information about any topic. For this reason Bag the Web an evolving Web. For Teachers Collect teaching materials. Create bags for students to study and assign homework.

9. Storify is a curation social media tool to make awesome story and t urn what people post on social media into compelling stories. Collect the best photos, video, tweets and you can also add text and embed the resulting collages of content on your own site or blog

10.Capturetocloud new curation tool in the cloud . Free account include Upload up to 200MB/month Upload unlimited bookmarks Up to 500 web pages, images, PDFs, etc. Unlimited sharing Free Google Docs integration Free Dropbox integration and item linking Features Marketing intelligence gathering, organizing, and sharing Investment Professionals target entity's background, principals' profiles, sector and comparables data, references Real Estate documents, images, web pages and text messages organized

The aPLaNet Project http://aplanet-project.org/

Do you use social networks like Facebook, Twitter & Nings?
Do you use them for personal reasons, to keep in touch with friends and family or for professional reasons?
Do you think social networks such as these can contribute to your own professional development?

These are some of the questions we will be asking hundreds of foreign language educators - and we hope you will be one of them - to find out their attitudes to using Social Networking sites to create and build their PLN, in other words, their Personal Learning Network

During the two years of the aPLaNet project, we will be collaborating with our partner institutions to create support and resources which will help foreign
language teachers in Europe to understand and use social network in order to:
Build and expand their PLN by connecting with educators on Facebook, Twitter & Nings
Continue with their professional development in an autonomous way
Acquire the skills and digital literacies required in order to use these mediums successfully and productively

I curate the best social media , web 2.0 and eLearning tools and apps who open gateway to knowledge in #education20 http://unhub.com/web20education/ http://bit.ly/Lucian20 . If you download this app you will discover many web 2.0, social media and eLearning tools and apps who bring gateway to knowledge for teachers and students worldwide . In the same time you will learn what is Curation and why is the Social Media King . Just follow me for more http://www.socialfollow.com/profiles/lucianecurator/ . In 2 words curation is ,, human knowledge “ .

About
#edtech20 free project http://central.ly/web20education/ is extended of the project ,, Teach, learn, play in 21st Century using web 2.0, social media used in an e-Safe way in education 2.0 " who was selected finalist project in ELEARNING AWARDS 2010 , runner up in the cathegory ENISA silver award for teaching online safety and citizenship .

I start this project because I was selected in june 2010 by European Schoolnet to work in the TIS – Insafe ; Teaching Internet Safety Project under European Schoolnet and TeachToday . I made a team from next european teachers : Coordinator Lucian Cornel Duma (ROMANIA) - me , Aureo Torres (SPAIN) ,Maria Sourgiadaki (GREECE) ,Catalina Nicolin ( MECTS Romania ) and Inge de Cleyn ( Belgium ) . We work all at this module proposed by me is called ,, How teachers and students can use free web 2.0 and social media in education 2.0 “ and all the resource where presented on Teachtoday website between 21- 22 octomber 2010 at Safer Internet Forum in Louxembourg . We made next teaching units :
1. Free microblogging safely in education : Twitter apps http://www.slideshare.net/DUMACORNELLUCIAN/teaching-unit-free-blogging-safety-in-education-5326694
2. Free blogging safely in education http://www.slideshare.net/DUMACORNELLUCIAN/teaching-unit-free-blogging-safety-in-education-53343973.
3.Free animation 2.0 safely in education http://www.slideshare.net/DUMACORNELLUCIAN/free-animation-20-safety-in-education
4. How to introduce Internet safety issue via the discovery of free virtual worlds , Second Life.
I belive that new technologies web 2.0 and social media can open gateway to knowledge for teachers worldwide and for this reason curation tools will prepare the appearance of semantic web 3.0 in XXI Century Education and I http://gplus.to/LucianDumaTeacherCurator made on #edtech20 circle on google plus ( the new tool who prepaire the introduction of new web in #education20 ) . I wish in the future to make a big platform where teachers worldwide can discuss how they can integrate efficiently new technologies in #education20 , but for this we need help and founds and I hope toghether to bring edreform .

Curation has always been an underrated form of creation and it is generally the selection of, care for and presentation of the objects entered into a collection, whether that collection is physical (such as items in a museum) , digital (such as entries in Wikipedia) . Today I use gr8 curation tools many in beta for curating social media ( tools, apps, articles , blog posts , tweets , videos , photos and much more ) like scoop.it , perltrees , postano , shareist , storify , chirpstory , curated.by and bagtheweb .
My favorite are 4 scoop.it , pearltrees , postano , shareist, but every day appear new curation tools who prepair the aparition of Semantic Web who is driving the evolution of the current Web by enabling users to find, share, and combine information more easily . For example delicious tool is a kind of curation, but this new curation tools allows your readers to add comments and suggestion for evry post .
The emphasis of curation may vary among:
The selection process - such as the use of expertise or expert advice to decide what items or content should be added to a collection or archive.
The caretaking process - controlling the decay of historical object (such as census records) .
Presentation - determining how objects or records are displayed, including what metadata will be displayed along with them.
2011 is the begining of New Era of Curation and every day appear new awesome social media curation tools like write Mashable in the article 4 Promising Curation Tools That Help Make Sense of the web . When I read Mashable's article I allready used Pearltrees http://pearltrees.com/#/web20education and after I made #edtech20 team on pearltrees . When Tim Berners Lee originally conceived of the Internet, he envisioned three principal functions and I think that is curation
Allow anyone to access any type of document
Allow everyone to disseminate his or her own documents
Allow everyone to organize the entire collection of documents
Brian Solis write also in his website about curation and curators who play an important role in the evolution of new media, the reach of material information, and the social nicheworks that unite as a result. Curators promote interaction, collaboration, as well as education around the topics that are important to them. As such, services that empower curators will fill the void between creation and consumption. Forrester’s estimation of consumers of social content will erode from 70% to much lower numbers as many ease into social networking through curation – sharing with others the content that captivates their attention. The ease of doing so forever converts the static consumer into a productive curator or perhaps one day, a full fledged creator.
With creation and curation increasing the exchange of information commerce, we are moving new media toward the mainstream creating bridges between social and traditional media and the people who connect around related information. As such, what you discover and equally what you share creates an information economy rich with contextual and topical relevance linked through shared experiences.

Work process
I want to collaborate in #edtech20 project with teachers worldwide and to discuss about new tools and apps web 2.0 , social media , and semantic web 3.0 .

About

Primary Technology is dedicated to ICT in Education. Established in 2004 with a focus on providing high quality primary school ICT support, quickly became a Naace accredited company and won awards for work in schools throughout Bradford. They ensure teaching and learning never suffers from technical issues , a variety of learning resources and communication tools.

Open Source

We actively support the open source community by releasing projects online and collaborating with non-profit organisations and schools. We are helping to enable a more transparent system that does not profiteer from education. All of our online learning resources for children run no advertisements; teachers have confidence to trust the content that we provide and this helps to bring new users to the sites.

Globally Free

We provide tens of thousands of web pages every day generating no direct revenue but providing important, otherwise unavailable services to ensure education can take place. Free doesn't pay the bills but it can make a big difference to a child's life.

Putting Education first, second and third.

Being ahead of the curve is important in today's market place. We constantly deliver services months before competitors. We do not provide ICT services to consumers or business, allowing us to focus all energies on providing new and improved services to education.

Primary Wall is a web-based sticky note tool designed for schools that allows pupils and teachers to work together in real-time . I like very much because the wal can be protected with a password .

School Email is a hosted email service for secondary schools and colleges. It is designed for staff and students with a number of desirable features including child protection, calendar sharing and large mailbox storage.

Primary Email is a hosted email service for primary schools. It is designed for staff and pupils with spam filtering, child protection, calendar sharing and large mailbox storage.
Primary Pad is a web-based word processor which promotes collaborative learning. It is designed for schools allowing teachers and pupils to work on a pad at the same time. Pads can be public or shared only within schools and can be accessed from any computer with an internet connection. This allows for collaborative learning to continue outside of school

Primary Paint allows children to paint, draw, write and colour. Not only can one child get creative with this, Primary Paint allows multiple users allowing for a collaborative creative masterpiece!

Primary Blogger is a free blog service with over 1,000 active blogs. It is free from advertising making it ideal for schools. It is easy to use and has some great customising features making it suitable for staff and children. You can also integrate this with your school’s VLE.

School backups allows you to minimise downtime, by providing quick access to your data and the quickest possible way of restoring your server state. Our Service provides daily backups of teacher and pupil work and server state backups every 5 days, 24-hour restoration of files, confirmation emails, alerts and unlimited storage (fair use policy applies).

Primary School Teaching is a free service for teachers to share their lesson plans and resources. Not only can you access resources easily but you can edit other people’s resources to improve them and keep them up to date.

Today I want to write about gr8 stiky note /websites who can be used free on-line in your projects or in your classroom part 1 .Please add comments , feedback and suggestions .

1. Wallwisher is the first edtool used for stiky note . You can post photos , videos , links and more in a wall .

When was your big bang?

Wallwisher was born out of the offices of SharedCopy in January 2008 (and you thought only living beings conceived). For over a year, the project was in a perpetual zombified state thanks to the academic commitments of the project's sole active janitor (pronounced 'yan - eetor'), Nitesh (@xiphar). In April 2009, the project was brought back from the dead. Where did the idea come from?
Wallwisher's janitor has a post-it overuse problem. He uses post-its as reminders, coasters, bookmarks, wrappers for used gum, to-do list managers, memos. So he decided to have some post-its for the web. SharedCopy, a startup that dealt with adding notes to web pages, therefore, came as a natural choice for the janitor's December internship. It was there that the janitor came up with the idea for using a sticky-note/noticeboard interface for communicating on the web. How is Wallwisher built?

Wallwisher is coded in PHP which is, as the name suggests, a language full of Pretty Horrible Practices. To find coding nirvana, therefore, Wallwisher uses the CodeIgniter PHP framework which has to be the next messiah many religions are waiting for.

On the front end, the coolness is possible thanks to the jQuery javascript library. Anyone out there who uses any other javascript library is, in the janitor's opinion, a web hater.

Here you can see a wall made by me for Lisa because today was her BIRTHDAY and teachers woldwide wish her HAPPY BIRTHDAY @teachingwthsoul

2.PrimaryWall is a web-based sticky note tool designed for schools that allows pupils and teachers to work together in real-time. http://edtech20project.primarywall.com/2

What is Primary Wall useful for?
Getting ideas, collaborating, sharing and quickly posting pieces of information when working in a group or collaborative environment.
Why is PrimaryWall better than any other web based sticky note platform
PrimaryWall was concieved by a teacher and is built for schools so we kept things simple, fast and user friendly.

3.Stixy is your online bulletin board. Create as many Stixyboards as you like, one for each project. Use Stixy to easily organize and share:

Your family’s schedule
Projects at work
An upcoming holiday with your friends
Your photos from your last bike trip
Or share a file or two with a friend

Only you set the limitations for how you want to use Stixy.
Be creative! We have no fixed grid that you need to follow. Can you see the widgets in the widget tray below? Just drag a widget out on the board and place it anywhere you want. Resize it, move it around, and select from a number of options to design your reminders, photos, notes, and files.
Share
To share a Stixyboard with friends, family, or your colleagues at work, is as easy as it gets. Sometimes it’s nice or in fact necessary to have an online space for common photos, reminders, files, and so forth. Each Stixyboard has a unique set of members. No one else can see or use your board unless you choose to open your board for public view.

4.Corkboard.me for presentations, demos, online classes and more.

Features

Ever wanted to show someone your cork board but didn’t want them to edit it? Well now you can. Whether you’re giving a presentation, teaching a remote class, showing off your talent or simply sending others your task list, use the view-only URL to ensure your cork stays yours. Find it in the bottom left corner of your board.

Have a website? Add your cork to it! Like your favorite video sharing site, adding your cork board to your own website is as easy as clicking a few buttons and clicking paste. Find the embed tag right next to the view-only URL. Check out the awesome one we made above.

See changes in real time.

This feature got us really excited. If your coworker adds a new note, you see it. If your boss makes an edit, you get it. If your hubby adds a picture, you see that picture too — no need to be in the same room, no need to continuously refresh the page.

Chat with other viewers.

Sometimes there are things that just don’t fit well on a cork board, and when working with others, conversation can be one of those things. That’s why we implemented a chat feature so you can communicate with others contributing to your board.

Find what you’re looking for.

This feature’s actually been there awhile, but we didn’t give it much press. If you’re working with others and have many notes, finding them can be trouble. Not to worry. Now you can use the built-in mini-map to easily find what you’re looking for.

cork on your own website! to Your Cork Board

Did you know you can post images on your corkboard? This feature has been available since day one, but the truth is most people didn’t. It’s real easy .

5.Edistorm takes the metaphor of sticky notes on a boardroom wall and brings it online allowing anyone - anywhere to brainstorm with only a web browser.

Each user picks their favorite ideas and Edistorm brings the best ones forward.

Features :

Always Available

At the end of a traditional brainstorming session, someone takes a picture of the boardroom wall and then either tasks someone to transcribe the chaos or more likely, email the photo out to everyone. Next time you goto revisit the issue, you end up starting from scratch wasting time, money and ideas.

Edistorm allows you to work on your ideas during a structured brainstorming session but the storm is available 24/7 and can be referred to, added to and revised on an ongoing basis.

Idea Database

We have calendars to store events, address books to store contacts, yet we don't have a place to store ideas. We've all stored ideas in emails to ourself, on scraps of paper or notebooks we can never find, or worse yet forgot them.

Edistorm is an always available idea database to store, retrieve, share and get feedback to build on your ideas.

Visual Idea Organization

Edistorm allows you to organize your ideas in a real time interactive wall. Each sticky note can have its own color and the users decide what the arrangement means to them.

This freeform method of collaboration will feel familiar to anyone that has thrown stickies on their walls.

Make Better Decisions

Research has proven that groups of users can make better decisions than a single user.

Because you're not limited by the size of your boardroom or the ability to facilitate brainstorming with a group larger than a dozen, you can collaborate with your entire organization in coming up with better ideas.

Each employee can add ideas, vote on the ones they like and make comments on specific ideas to help refine or improve them.

Freedom to Brainstorm

Edistorm is always free for anyone adding ideas to a brainstorming. Feel free to invite anyone you'd like.

Creating public or solo brainstorms is always free, while creating private invite only storms requires a subscription.

All accounts have a no credit card required 30 day free trial.

Idea Bots

Even if you're brainstorming by yourself, you're never on your own. Edistorm created Idea Bots that brainstorm with you providing you suggested ideas.

Edistorm has a variety of bots including, thesaurus, rhyming, related words and a social media bot. We're open to suggestions for future bots.

6.Linoit.com is a web application that provides you with an online canvas and allows you to post online stickies, pictures, videos, and attachments. You can also share your online canvas with others by sharing its URL. Sharing the URL would allow others to post stickies as well. You can probably see how Lino it could be used to conduct an online gallery walk. To give you an idea of what it could look like, I inserted an screenshot of an online canvas with pictures of four multiplication solutions and stickies with questions and comments posted around them. Now you can collaborate in groups using this interesting edtool .

7. Nota is casual collaboration. Nota is a unique, cutting-edge collaborative web platform that allows users to create, share and collaborate on presentations and virtually any other form of online material. Using Nota’s proprietary toolset, users can instantly integrate text, video, maps, clip art, photos from web album or on the local computer, or license-free images from Flickr, and material from an ever-expanding array of sources. Users can then instantly embed their work in Facebook or blogs, and can share and collaborate with friends.

It's easy to use, even for someone with no computer experience.

Fast load times mean near instant co-creation

8.PinDax offers a fun real-time alternative to the traditional online message board.

Features include:

Post text, images, files and polls in real-time

No download needed, runs in your browser

Customizable widgets integrate into your site

E-mail notification when there are new posts and replies

Search your posts

Send posts via e-mail

Chat with other members viewing your board

Add categories and feeds

Approve messages before they are seen

Keep your board private or share it with the world

Happy #Easter / #Passover #PLN

2011-04-23T05:00:00.000-07:00

Dear Teachers, Ressurection of Son of God is the biggest holiday of Christianity because our Savior Jesus Christ was sacrified for our sins on Cross of Golgota ( Calvary ) .
For this reason I develop with my students many religious projects and I want to present you a glogsteredu after International Contest ,, Ressurection of Son of God and the Renaissance of whole making " organized in International Project ,, Different, but Equal " and please add your feedback and comments here .

Also we collaborate with Dr Teresa Fernandes from Lisbon, Portugal in eTwinning project ,, Jesus Christ our Passover Lamb was sacrified for us . "
What is Passover What is Easter? For some of our students the season is often above all associated with eating chocolate eggs/ bunnies or sugared almonds . At family gatherings, when relatives or friends refer to the First Passover in Egypt, to The Last Supper, to The Gethsemane Conflicts, or even to Jesus’ Trials, Death, Resurrection or Ascension, these youngsters have sometimes difficulty in following the reasoning .Well known films like The Prince of Egypt or The Passion act sometimes as mediators of meaning, so that young people may fit into the context of such conversations … This central information is clarified by bringing together several episodes in the Old and New Testament: for example Isaac saved from death by the lamb graciously provided by God; the firstborns of the Israelites saved in Egypt by the blood of the perfect lamb put as mark in the doors of their houses to keep death away; Jesus announced by John the Baptist as the unique, perfect, innocent Lamb approved by God; the vicarious Death and Resurrection of Christ to draw every sin and everyman unto Himself; Jesus, the Lamb of God, ascending and glorified in heaven, sitting on the throne as Ruler over rulers. All these point to the central importance of the Lamb both for the Jews ( Passover ) and for the Christians ( Easter ) as substitute and deliverer, both taking the place of people and rescuing them from physical / spiritual death, and conquering eternal life for the redeemed and becoming advocate and judge Himself. How many of our students know that the fact that a Lamb/young sheep is still preferred course in the Easter menu in many European countries had its origin in the first Passover in Egypt, about three thousand years ago? Also the instruction in the Old Testament that the High Priest was allowed to present himself only once in a year before God in the Holy of Holies contrasts with the fact that in the New Testament we read the curtain of the temple was suddenly torn as Jesus died, meaning with that that the communication with God was now open to personal relationship for everyone interested in having it . How many of them know that in the Old Testament the High Priest had to confess his sins and the people’s sins over the scapegoat as prerequisite to enter the Holy of Holies, and only after that could he send the substitution scapegoat to the desert to die in the place of the people - a type of Jesus in the New Testament, who took over Himself all the people’s sins and because of them was severely punished and put to death.

Project ,, Jesus Christ, Our Passover Lamb, Was Sacrificed For Us – Easter Etwinning

I give a strawberry cake for my twitter followers :)

Now let's see more informations about twitter
Amazingly, it's five years ago today that the first tweet was sent and twitter have a Tiny team . Over these years, Twitter has matured and made an impact in the areas of social responsibility, politics, sports, media, and more. The people who use Twitter have made it what it is today, and on our fifth birthday, it's the people that make Twitter special who we are celebrating.

There are now more than 400 full time employees working at Twitter. In the last year alone we have made huge progress towards stability and performance. This work sets us up to continue innovating but it also allows us to build a profitable business on a strong foundation. We are in a position now which allows us to continue serving and delighting everyone who relies on Twitter to connect them to that which is meaningful for another five years and beyond.

Twitter users now send more than 140 million Tweets a day which adds up to a billion Tweets every 8 days—by comparison, it took 3 years, 2 months, and 1 day to reach the first billion Tweets. While it took about 18 months to sign up the first 500,000 accounts, we now see close to 500,000 accounts created every day. All of this momentum and growth often pales in comparison to a single compassionate Tweet by a caring person who wants to help someone in need.

Now let's see some twitter statistics Today, on every measure of growth and engagement, Twitter is growing at a record pace. Here are some numbers:

#tweets

3 years, 2 months and 1 day. The time it took from the first Tweet to the billionth Tweet.

1 week. The time it now takes for users to send a billion Tweets.

50 million. The average number of Tweets people sent per day, one year ago.

140 million. The average number of Tweets people sent per day, in the last month.

177 million. Tweets sent on March 11, 2011.

456. Tweets per second (TPS) when Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009 (a record at that time).

6,939. Current TPS record, set 4 seconds after midnight in Japan on New Year’s Day.

#accounts

572,000. Number of new accounts created on March 12, 2011.

460,000. Average number of new accounts per day over the last month.

182%. Increase in number of mobile users over the past year.

#employees

8. 29. 130. 350. 400. Number of Twitter employees in Jan 2008, Jan 2009, Jan 2010, Jan 2011 and today.

The people who use Twitter make it special because for any interest we might have, somebody is tweeting about it. We're lucky to have so many people using Twitter in so many interesting and important ways.

Happy Birthday, Twitter—and thank you.

1.Pearltrees is my favorite social curation tool in 2010 and here you can make a PLN - social curation community. It is the social way to discover, organize and share the stuff you like on the web.Use Pearltrees to keep the stuff you like on the web at hand, to discover new things in your areas of interest and to share them with your friends.

Pearltrees game play is pretty simple, but its potential is limited solely by your imagination:

Pearl the stuff you like on the Web.Organize your pearls into your own pearltrees.

Discover other users' pearltrees with the search box or the minipearl.

Team up with others to curate the pearltrees you like

Pick pearltrees when you are interested in them and follow their updates

Share pearltrees by embedding them on your blog or on other social services .

THE BEST NEWS PEARLTREES IT IS FREE AND YOU CAN ORGANIZE AND TRANSFFER HERE DELICIOUS BOOKMARKS .

2.Eegoes is a new tool described as a “new generation” of social networking aims to provide a user-friendly and innovative platform for social interaction, that lets users filter their content through keyword settings to deliver only the information most relevant to their interests.Users can customize their views, to see “Everything”, or only view “Videos”, “Pictures”, “Notes”, “Events”, “Links” or “Interests.” Users can connect via Facebook or Twitter and sync their accounts or establish parts of their account as private and public through user-friendly controls.I invite all to join and collaborate in #edtech20 Eegoes group .

3.Facebook is the best way to make a PLN and to collaborate in groups and make facebook pages giving people the power to share and make the world more open and connected. Facebook it is also an incredible learning tool in XII Century Education . Teachers and educators can utilize Facebook for class projects, for enhancing communication and collaboration and for engaging students in a manner that might not be entirely possible in traditional classroom settings. On facebook you can add photos , videos , presentations and much , much more applications and for this reason I invite you to join and post on main page of #edtech20 project with 350 fans .

4.LinkedIn is a tool where you can make a PLN Professional Learning Network and was built for professionals who want to use their existing and future social networks to build a career. LinkedIn is not like MySpace and Facebook. It’s not where teenagers post photos , videos and presentations with their activities

The LinkedIn profile is exactly like a resume, but it holds a lot more information. It includes fields for education, jobs, experience, interests, awards and honors, and personal information. Most people use LinkedIn to “get to someone” , to connect and collaborate in order to make a sale, form a partnership, or get a job.

I invite you all to join free and collaborate in #edtech20 LinkedIn group .

5.Diigo has become one of the most popular social bookmarking services used by educators and it is a gr8 opportunity for Delicious and I like very much this edtool . Diigo offers good tools for highlighting, annotating, bookmarking, and sharing what you like on the Internet. Diigo is an effective tool for teaching because Diigo's features allow teachers to highlight critical features within text and images and write comments directly on the web pages, to collect and organize series of web pages and web sites into coherent and thematic sets, and to facilitate online conversations within the context of the materials themselves. Diigo also allows teachers to collaborate and share resources among themselves. Diigo is much more than a simple web annotation or social bookmarking service -- it is a new kind of online research and collaborative research tool that integrates tags and folders, highlighting and clipping, sticky notes, and group-based collaboration, enabling a whole new process of online knowledge management, learning, and teaching in the information age.Diigo group #edtech20 With Version 5.0, Diigo moves one step further towards its vision of providing the best cloud-based personal information management (PIM) service that enables users to collect, highlight, access and share a variety of information, on a variety of devices.

6. Wiggio, you can share and edit files, manage a group calendar, poll your group, post links, set up conference calls, chat online and send mass text, voice and email messages to your group members. Each group member can define how they want to keep informed of group activity. For a complete overview of what your group can do on Wiggio, click on the following video:

7.Cloudworks, a social networking site for sharing and discussing learning and teaching ideas and designs. The work is underpinned by an ongoing programme of empirical work, aimed at getting a richer understanding of educational design processes. Data collected includes interviews, surveys, observations, web statistics, focus groups, as well as gathering data at workshops and other events we run. The empirical data informs the three main strands : representing pedagogy, informing the design process and facilitating the sharing and discussing of designs. I invite you all to join free #edtech20 Cloudworks group

Ning is the world's largest platform for creating social websites. Top organizers, marketers, influencers, and activists use Ning to create an online destination that weaves social conversations in content and inspire action. Unfortunatelly Ning network isn’t free but I keep the #edtech20 PLN http://web20ineducation2010.ning.com/forum/topics/collaboration-in-edtech20-pln?commentId=5366584%3AComment%3A1505 where I wan to collaborate with teachers worldwide . I like Ning Ning because made it easy for members to get involved and submit their own photos, videos, blog posts , collaborate in the forum and you can add many apps on your Ning network .

2011-03-12T21:42:00.000-08:00

I want to thank you all for your kind greetings on twitter @web20education  and specially to @shellterrell ; @tamaslorincz   iPad_storytime and on facebook .

Short introduction . 3 years ago I begin my adventure in a web 2.0 world  beeing founder in some eTwinning projects . Here is my first website http://differentbutequaletwinning.webs.com/founderdumalucianrom.htm . 

In 3 years I  have evolved a lot and now I am a Social Media and Web 2.0 addicted curator in XXI Century Education 

http://www.luciandumateachweb20.eu/page7.php

http://www.luciandumateachweb20.eu/ @web20education  I am Glogster Edu Ambassador , SymballoEdu Ambassador and I am very proud because  because my #edtech20 free  project in the clouds for teachers worldwide ,, Teach , learn and play in XXI century using in a e-Safety way tools and applications web 2.0 and social media in education 2.0 " was finalist in ELEARNING AWARDS 2010  . Now let's see what is a PLN , how to build a #edtech20 PLN and what are the best edtools to make a PLN in XXI Century Education

Personal Learning Networks consist of the people a learner interacts with and derives knowledge from in a Personal Learning Environment.( systems that help learners take control of and manage their own learning ) . An important part of this concept is the theory of connectivism developed by George Siemens and Stephen Downes. Learners create connections and develop a network that contributes to their professional development and knowledge .  The learner does not have to know these people personally or ever meet them in person.The following is an excerpt from Dryden's and Vos' book on learning networks:"For the first time in history, we know now how to store virtually  all humanity's most important information and make it available, almost  instantly, in almost any form, to almost anyone on earth. We also know  how to do that in great new ways so that people can interact with it ,  and learn from it." . You can read more about PLN here , here , here ,   here  or  here

I think  all the teachers should build a PLN because in collaboration with other teachers they can share knowledge in groups and using web 2.0 and social media they can bring edreform in XXI Century Education . I am member in many #edtech20 PLNs , but unfortunatelly most of the teachers only use the informations and tools from the networks  and don't collaborate with other teachers and for this reason you can read : Collaboration in #edtech20 PLN . Ok now lets see the gr8  #edtech20 tools to build a PLN in  XXI Century Education in my  next blog  post .

Read more on the Insafe Blog and Insafe Network about Safer Internet Day 2011 celebrated every year in 8 february and don't forget ,, It's more than a game, it's your life! "

To learn more about Safer Internet Day meetings in your region or at the international level this year, stay posted at: www.saferinternetday.org and check out the SID fair www.sidfair.org.
Today the Insafe network, European network of Safer Internet Centres, is celebrating Safer Internet Day for the eighth consecutive year. This is the occasion of the year to join our efforts in making the internet a better place for our children and young people. Since the first edition of SID in 2004, interest has grown tremendously world wide to reach all five continents and more than 70 countries, from Canada to South Korea and Russia to Kenya, including all 27 countries of the European Union.

"Safer Internet Day is the annual highlight for the wide range of people and organisations who work hard to make the internet safer. Today, Safer Internet Centres, educators, parents, industry policy makers and children themselves all have the opportunity to review their achievements and identify challenges ahead" said Neelie Kroes, patron of Safer Internet Day, and European Digital Agenda Commissioner. "For children and young people especially, it is both a celebration of the wonderful opportunities the online world offers, and a reminder that they need to be responsible citizens in the digital world. I am proud to support Safer Internet Day".

Safer Internet Day 2011 celebrates the theme “digital lives” with the slogan "It’s more than a game, it’s your life", encouraging people to think about their online identity and the survival of their real self through the online experience. And because Insafe strongly believes in the power of the voice of youth and makes a point of relaying their ideas and opinions, today we have published videos made by our national Youth Panels. Take a look for yourself to see how young people really feel about these issues.

To discover all the fantastic online and offline activities organised in your country check out our Safer Internet Day fair (www.sidfair.org), a collaborative platform where more than 80 Safer Internet Day committees, international organisations and stakeholders have their profile and communicate about their actions.

Safer Internet Day 2011 will also mark the launch of a brand new publication full of fun activities for 4-8 year-olds. Entitled Play and Learn: Being online and developed by Insafe in collaboration with our SID gold sponsor Liberty Global Inc., this is an indispensable resource for young children as well as for their parents and teachers. As young children are now using computers and surfing on the internet at an increasingly early age, Insafe is once again leading the field by providing a resource that will raise their awareness to the opportunities and risks they may encounter online whilst honing their linguistic, cultural and social skills.

A second SID launch for the Insafe network is the Digipack 2011 which offers teachers and parents Europe-wide an exciting and eagerly-awaited range of educational resources. From handbooks for teachers to videos for parents and children, these 30 high quality resources will be of great use to professionals in the field.
