I believe that learning happens best when it is shared with others.
I don’t believe that learning only happens when you sit in the class, when you read the book, when you study alone, when you take the test. You also have to realize that my pedagogical beliefs are totally social constructionist all the way. The word waste implies just that – it is a waste, and nothing good can come out of it. You see, I have never agreed with the statement ‘waste of time (but in a good way).’ To me, if any good comes out of it, it can’t be a waste. Yeah – I’ve been trying it, and I believe now more than ever that it is a great tool for a campus edition.
UTA is phasing out FTP access – or so they say.īUT – I do think that FTP would be a great tool to include in a web-developer FF edition. Most university file storage spaces, like the new MavSpace, use a web based interface for uploading files. I can’t see ftp being useful to Nursing majors, or business majors, or whole lot of other majors. It is probably used in computer-oriented programs, but that’s only a small portion of the programs out there. I can say I never used FTP in any college classes, graduate or undergraduate. Remember – it’s not an ‘academic’ edition. MySpace is in too much trouble all the time, and even Facebook is being sued – so SU would seem like a safe way to add a social aspect to the Campus edition. Colleges are always pushing students to participate in social events to be ‘well-rounded’ and all. I like the results I get better.īut – it is primarily more of a social site, and I can see why it was included in a campus edition package. Shoot – I may start using this site instead of Google. Kind of just like I see when I search Google, except these search results are not randomly generated using some algorithm – they come from other users who have tagged them. I also see links to other related categories. If I go to the website section of SU, and search for something like ‘Educational Technology’, I get a whole list of interesting looking sites. Well, like I said, I don’t really use the FF plug-in for SU that much, so I can only speak for what happens when I go to the site. (That being said, ftp apps tend to be much more functional - the best I’ve found and swear by is Filezilla.) Katrina Adams, Augat 7:38 am And I know it was used (granted, ‘back in the day’) when Roy and I were undergrads and he and his fellow classmates were working on the CS degrees. (There’s a plugin - can’t remember the name, but I have it installed at home - that includes SFTP.) I used it extensively in my graduate work up at UNT.
And I hear through the grapevine that kids these days still use it for web development. I’ve used FTP extensively when designing websites at UTD, UTA, and ASU … as well as at the school district I worked at for a year. You’ll get a whole array of sites - interesting and not. But you can’t set it to only send you to ‘serious’ sites. … Other than randomly stumbling across a site that has famous artwork (or something similarly legitimate). But I’m not seeing what research or educational advantage you get out of this. Sure you can see what random sites I liked by visiting my profile, and you can even subscribe to my RSS feed. Basically SU takes you randomly to websites that are basically ‘dugg’ by other users.

Just curious - how exactly can SU be used for educational and/or research purposes? Roy and I use it extensively … when there’s nothing on tv and have time to kill.
