EDUCATIONAL WEB TOOLS FOR GRADUATE SCHOOLS
Really? That Many of My Colleagues are using Social Media in their Teaching?
Personally, I find it a bit hard to believe that the numbers are that high. And, unfortunately, the source of the data, while indicated, cannot be inspected!
I think it depends on how one defines social media. Is using material (text or graphics) from Wikipedia considers using social media? Is signing up for a Facebook or Twitter account, but never really using it, considered having used social media?
If yes, then OK, I can see the high numbers. But I know so many people who have signed up for social media sites, but never use them. Although, I do admit that they may use their accounts some day -- maybe after they retire?
I also agree that a lot more faculty use social media (especially Facebook) for personal reasons that for teaching or work. I think the difference is higher than the numbers indicated in this chart.
Anyway, I could be wrong in my skepticism, which is based on my own colleagues. And I think I will be wrong, eventually -- probably much sooner than later. My own guess is that these numbers will be more believable among my colleagues in about 2 to 3 years.
Until then, the infographic still makes for some interesting considerations....

E-portfolio means
What is a E-portfolio?
A portfolio is a collection of work developed across varied contexts over time. The portfolio can advance learning by providing students and/or faculty with a way to organize, archive and display pieces of work.
The electronic format allows faculty and other professionals to evaluate student portfolios using technology, which may include the Internet, video, and animation. Electronic portfolios are becoming a popular alternative to traditional paper-based portfolios because they offer practitioners and peers the opportunity to review, communicate and assess portfolios in an asynchronous manner.
Most people are familiar with student portfolios, however, higher education institutions are starting to create departmental and institutional portfolios as a means for evaluating student learning on a more global level. Institutional portfolios provide a means of assessing the impact of the entire educational experience on student learning. They can be used to drive internal improvement and external accountability. Like student portfolios, they allow for internal improvement and external accountability, but on the level of the whole institution.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (art blog), photographs (photoblog), videos (video blogging), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Microblogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.

Integration of Education for Sustainable development
Journal Article
Abstract
This paper makes the case that Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) offers the field of early childhood a valuable base upon which to begin addressing some substantial contemporary concerns. In the paper, we outline key recent developments in the field of early childhood, particularly those related to globalisation and the spread of European American ideals. Yet ESD promotes the incorporation of local and indigenous understandings in formal education. We propose that, given; (i) broadening appreciation of the reality that early childhood education is characterised by diversity in early values and practices across sociocultural contexts, and; (ii) global interest in and commitment to early childhood education, the field is not only in need of, but also well-placed to adopt this key principle of ESD.
Cet article soutien que l’éducation pour le développement durable (EDD) offre au secteur de la petite enfance une base valable sur laquelle s’appuyer pour aborder des considérations contemporaines. Dans cet article, nous soulignons les récents développements dans le champ de la petite enfance, en particulier ceux liés à la mondialisation et à la diffusion des idéaux américains européens. Pourtant, l’EDD fournit des moyens pour favoriser l’intégration des questions locales et indigènes dans l’enseignement formel. Nous proposons que puisque; (i) l’éducation de la petite enfance est caractérisée par une diversité de valeurs et de pratiques à travers des contextes socioculturels, et; (ii) l’intérêt et l’engagement dans l’éducation de la petite enfance, le champ a non seulement besoin de, mais est également bien placé pour adopter ces principes d’EDD.
Este artículo destaca que la educación para el desarrollo sustentable (ESD) ofrece al campo de la niñez temprana una base valiosa sobre la cual comenzar a analizar algunas preocupaciones contemporáneas sustenaciales. En el artículo, se delinean algunos desarrollo recientes claves en el campo de la niñez temprana, particularmente aquellos relacionados con la globalización y el esparcimiento de los ideales americanos y europeos. El ESD por otra parte, promueve la incorporación del entendimiento local e indígena en la enseñanza convencional. Proponemos apoyar estas ideas puesto que se destaca (i) uan apreciación mas amplia de la realidad, aspecto por el que la educación de la niñez temprana es caracterizada: la diversidad en valores y prácticas tempranas en los diferentes contextos socioculturales, y; (ii) el interés global y el compromiso con la educación de la niñez temprana, permite aprecair que el campo está no sólo necesitando, sino también bien situado para adoptar
