Education and Technology

I opened my Facebook this afternoon and to my horror they have updated the homepage. Not to the better, but to the worse. How can Facebook not understand that people want to customize their experience once, not after every update.

There is no way to that I have have found to set any of my lists as my main feed. I don’t want the News feed as my main feed, I had it customized with another feed as the main feed but now it takes 3 clicks to get to that feed. On top of that, if I which from the main page it rests to the new Facebook default.

Let me also add that the feeds aren’t updating correctly so I can’t be sure if I am getting current information.

Let me hear what you have to say. Facebook could be a great social tool and a great way to learn in education, but not the way it’s going.

My Friend Michael Kwan is holding a contest to give away some of the swag he got at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). You have one week to enter, so you have until 10:59 a.m. PDT on January 25, 2010. I have won a few of his contests and have to say that his swag is pretty good. On top of that he writes a pretty mean blog that I think you would like to read. Want to get some of the CES swag? Click through to his blog Beyond the Rhetoric.

Again, go here: Beyond the Rhetoric to enter. By the way, you can follow Michael on twitter (incidentally one of the ways to enter the contest) at @michaelkwan and don’t forget to follow me, your host of Edutechation.com at @rayebersole or @edutechation.
