Comment 4 of Andreas
this interesting overview of the most popular social network (for now ...) Andreas!
agree that the most exploited are those that grow around a specific interest, and among the sites listed, what fascinated me most is Anobii I knew when I came for the first time in this blog and I saw the window books. I am a passionate reader and so, taken out of curiosity, I immediately connected and I found the opportunity to share with many other people my preferences in terms of books in addition to the pleasure of enjoying the personal reviews of those who have read before or after me the same my books. By the time I will try to enter the site as much as possible of the securities that I own (unfortunately many of my books do not have a bar code and to search through the title gets longer), together with my review.
Del.icio.us know of other sites listed that do not use regularly, I use Scribd to post material that I write very personal interest or prepare for university exams, on which public Slideshare presentation that I prepare with my pupils, I use Flickr to view photos of trips made by my children and my friends and where I posted some YouTube videos and personal I use to view and work with my students or documentary films covering specific areas of science or geography, such as deepening.
The use of Facebook for me is rather important to keep in touch with many of my former students ("ex" because, being a primary school teacher, I am contacted by them when they attend the second or eighth grade) who have no problem involved in their personal communications and chat online while I was connected. Initially, I must say that I was very surprised because some of them have already eighteen years and more but then I found it enjoyable and rewarding, so much that I even learned to play with them in Farmville and I enjoy it too.
Twitter instead, where I joined recently, I did not like much, but ... time to time.
other sites but do not know anything and I will explore why I'm very curious to know the social network in much the air of freedom of thought and expression that is breathed by browsing to them and partly for fear of is "slow" compared to the world that the Net allows me to overlook.
I would like to report a site similar to Scribd which has the peculiarity, however, allow you to read the documents published as if they leaf through books. This is Issuu, which many already know, but I only recently discovered.
site to link to is:

Can Pearls Be Whitened
I finished listening to an interview he has granted to Stephen Andreas Formiconi Balassone on RED TV. Here is a link to the video, still viewable on the blog of a professor: http://www.redtv.it/video/2508.
reflects, I think, the thought of so many of us teachers that we realize what the school is moving away from the world to which we should prepare and to finding ways to mediate between these two possible so they can quickly (and I think it will be difficult ) to be reflected back into each other.
If we chose this profession with passion and we do, we can not remain indifferent to the fact that more and more to go to school for most children is a burden borne better or worse, but still a burden. One of my former student who this year will support the scientific maturity, intelligent and gifted young man with whom are in regular contact through Facebook, argued with me that can not wait to leave behind the high school where he claims to have "lost five years time "! to study "useless material"!.
"I do not know English because the teacher knows what me (!), History and Latin are a scary beard, an Italian I have to write words about words, following tracks that I do not feel my chemistry and biology would be interesting but if we could work in the laboratory, the figures look book is not much, at least math is fun, the exercises are always changing ...". I have not been able to deny nor have I heard the words of this boy, but something has to change and fast!
Professor Formiconi has tried we are trying and claims to have excellent feedback, students learn and, to quote his blog, change.
not what we all want to be teachers?
So yes to the constraints of ministerial programs (those not escape possimo ), but also to the renewal of our educational interventions, our way of relating with the kids to learn to listen well and be able to know how they communicate and what they really need to grow up in this world. The experience of
IUL, in my case was important because it allowed me to do self-criticism and offered me the opportunity to learn innovative teaching tools and especially to experience a real cooperation between equals.
E 'by which we learn and, above all, do not forget and so that' it is necessary to work with our students. If we find ourselves in trouble, we will learn with them and this will be a success, not a defeat.
Good communication and conveys content that is not the goal that we aim to be teachers?

Watch Southpark Flash Through Proxy
del.icio.us
I met thanks to your del.icio.us IUL!
first year, "Computer Laboratory", prof. Rossi, assignment: use a social bookmarking site to create a list of bookmarks and share them with others!
Social bookmarking?! List of bookmarks?! I had never heard anything like it!
So I got up to look at Del.icio.us and I've learned (maybe this is a euphemism ...) language. After an initial period of fairly regular use, I left to find it pleasant now, thanks to the stimulus of Professor! I'll have to start again slightly with this familiar environment, and then who knows ... these two years of university the doors of Web 2.0 are now wide open for us IUL's!
Ah, this is the link to my page on del.icio.us:
