Kinda Learning Stuff: Delicious vs. diigo - 0 views

  • I've started using Diigo. I haven't quite let go of Delicious but that's one of the good things about Diigo. It allows me to automatically export my bookmarks to Delicious so I don't need to use that service directly anymore. It lets me filter my tags and works directly with Blogger so I don't have to do a tortuous backdoor route to get my bookmarks into my blog. And the toolbar - I have to say that although it takes up more space than the the Delicious buttons... it's fab! You can highlight and make comments on pages and it interacts easily with some of the main social networking sites such as Twitter or Facebook. It does the things you didn't realise you wanted Delicious to do, but now you've got a taste for those features, you don't really want to go back...

Education - Change.org: Tutorial: Two Uses of Technology to Improve Literacy and Critic... - 0 views

  • In the past two+ years, I've read and bookmarked almost 3,500 websites that I wanted to keep. I've also highlighted the interesting passages on them, and written margin-notes about those highlights - all without printing the pages
  • I've also put all 3,500 websites in a file cabinet - without printing them out - that I can access anywhere in the world that has an internet connection.
  • And I've placed each bookmarked site in multiple folders with individual labels, so I can see everything I've saved about, say, NCLB, or Creationism, or the Cold War, or stuff that made me laugh, on one online page.

      This is a nice summation of the capabilities of Diigo!
  • It's made using Screencast-o-matic.com's free online service - which is also valuable for teaching. Think of applications for English Language Learners, special needs students, and visual/aural learners, for example.

      Screencast-o-matic looks to hold great potential for a number of applications in education.
  • The following screencast tutorial should be useful for every reader and thinker who doesn't know about it. Students of all ages, it should rock your world; and teachers, throw a bit of imagination at it and it might transform your practice a bit.

      Diigo has certainly made a difference in the way I handle my bookmarking and researching.

Langwitches Blog » Students as Meaningful Contributors - 8 views

  • How often have we heard the moaning from our students and/or own children? Why do I have to learn this? I will never use it again. There is even (why would I be surprised?) a facebook group called “I bet 90% if the Stuff we learn in School, I will never use again” It has over 16,000 members…

Exploring the impact of Apple's iPad on schools & schooling. - 1 views

  • “Schools are smartening up and letting students use their tech tools in innovative ways,”
  • The schools that “get it” will be the ones that stay ahead of the tech curve. “As educators, we really need to stay on top of this stuff,” said Rios, “instead of constantly playing catch up.”
  • nothing really matters if we introduce technology without changing the process of learning and the way teachers teach.
