Novelties - Multiple Screens Built for Textbooks as E-Books - NYTimes.com - 8 views

  • Paul Allison
     
    These new readers are starting to get to what we need in the classroom.

    "The e-reader screen is used with a stylus that can underline or highlight text, take notes in the margin, pull up a blank piece of e-paper for solving math problems, or touch a link for a video of a chemical interaction that is then displayed on the LCD screen."

    I've heard predictions that even more flexible devices will be developed this coming year.

The Quintessence of Ham - 10 views

  • Paul Allison
     
    I'm trying to learn more about Zotero, and this professor, Sean Takats, suggests that he used it with a "research-intensive" class this semester:

    "With their unprecedented collaborative functionality, Zotero groups promise to transform the way that instructors and students interact with sources, particularly in research-intensive classes. "

    I wonder how it went.

TALL blog » Blog Archive » The Transition from the Co-Digital to the Post-Digital. - 4 views

  • Paul Allison
     
    I like all of the definitions in this blog post. They sound connected to past research, yet new. I know I was feeling odd at the "Digital Is..." Conference, because I don't want to let the technology disappear into uses. It's better, I think to look for what we can get out of particular technologies. That's what we are doing now with Google's Wave.

    "Alongside these discussions Frances Bell suggested the term Co-Digital as a better term to describe the process of "…seizing the opportunities presented by the newness of technologies to spot changes and then shape the development of the technology.""

    As this paragraph suggests, we still need to look at "digital technologies" to see how we can exploit them for what we need.
