How ?

1. Social Networking and Blogging
2. Social Bookmarking
Social Bookmarking
Users store lists of internet resources that they believe they will find useful.
The social aspect is that these can then be shared with the public at large or with a specific group.
Social networking encourages collective contribution, not individual ownership. (Mason & Rennie, 2008. P 14)

If, for example, the reserve requirement ratio is 10 percent, then banks need $1 of reserves for each $10 of deposits, a reserve to deposit ratio of 1 to 10. Flipping this ratio around generates a deposit to reserve ratio of 10 to 1. That is, banks can have $10 of deposits for each $1 of reserves. This further means that the deposit expansion multiplier m is the inverse of the reserve requirement ratio. If the reserve requirement ratio is 10 percent (that is, 0.10), then the deposit expansion multiplier is 10 (= 1/0.10). If the reserve requirement ratio is 5 percent (0.05), then the deposit expansion multiplier is 20 (= 1/0.05). If the reserve requirement ratio is 20 percent (0.20), then the deposit expansion multiplier is 5 (= 1/0.20).
Why is the deposit expansion multiplier is the inverse of the reserve requirement ratio.
The key to the deposit creation process is that each bank keeps only a fraction of anynew deposits that it receives (as reserves), then sends along the rest to another bank.
Social Networking and Blogging
What were the views of
Students ?
How many resources did you share and discuss?
How useful did they rate it in terms of helping their understanding?
How enjoyable did they rate using Diigo?
35 Students answered survey
on Survey Monkey Website.
How useful was the Ning site in helping your understanding
of the Monetary Theory course?
“It allowed me to be more open in my learning and express myself to fellow students and get their feedback”
“I believe it helped me reflect the level of my understanding towards the course and the real economics as well as made me think outside of the box.” .
In Conclusion
The use of educational technology and in particular the use of social bookmarking contributed to the development a small learning community in the Monetary Theory classes of 2009 & 2010
..-it moved learning from beyond the classroom and its formal setting.
