@Sony Great fun. Watched the odd number episodes in b&w and the evens in color, really liked both. Will have to re-watch and switch it up.

And what he says about clickbait headlines at the end is so true, as well.

I’m an instruction design MEd student @UMassBoston, @shanesnow your “Shane Snow on Storytelling” on LinkedIn really helped me pull together my “About Me” page for my website. Thank you! #onlinepresence

@drlukehobson I’m an instruction design MEd student @UMassBoston, and your book helped me get into the mindset of choosing what kind of ID I want to do. This semester, it dovetailed well with my “Designing Your Online Professional Presence” class. #onlinepresence

@rjhogue No, this is from personal and classroom experience. Might be tough to research, the tricky part is the teacher's in-person rapport with the students is usually the high watermark and isn't exceeded by the video response.

Students can respond well to less than perfect instructor videos when it is their instructor being their authentic self, but production quality does matter when students don’t have that personal connection with the presenter in the video. #onlinepresence

I'm hearing lots of people struggling with the idea that using video in L&T means spending hours making polished and edited material. It doesn't have to be this way! Students love it when we are fully present as our spontaneous selves, thinking out loud. #digped

@AndreontheWeb, turning students from just media consumers to media creators can be so empowering for the students. #onlinepresence

Grade 6 experimenting with Stop Motion #animation. Always a pleasure to see the kids light up when they watch their creations.

Rules define a model of how someone else thinks the world should be, but the model is not the thing, Alfred Korzybski - “A map is not the actual territory.” Challenge the rules and explore the world. @RAWarchives - “Reality is always plural and mutable.” #onlinepresence

Students should have ROI counseling that assesses the current job fields with reference to student interests and schools of interest, not as a restraint, just as an informative tool for the student and/or parents. #onlinepresence

@thekylekitchen Creating videos are a great way for students to demonstrate and reinforce learning, and become more media literate too! #onlinepresence

How do you teach #STEM ? This is my daughter's chemistry project for learning about acids and fermentation. She decided to film a cooking show to document levels of acids in pickles. #Authenticlearning #Chemistry #edchat #edtech

@SVNicholls makes an important point here, your students can respond well to the authentic you in videos #onlinepresence
