      Digital School Solutions should become an organizational member!  (full disclosure, I am a member and am on the board ;)

      I agree!
  • Filmmaker and George Lucas Educational Foundation chairman George Lucas thinks it's time to change "English" class into "Communication" class, where students learn the grammatical rules of graphic arts, film, and music along with English grammar.

Great point, Rhys. I would say that it's best to keep this site internal for our own team. However, it might make sense to use this site as a model to support the growth of an school wide Diigo group.

Enemy Lurks in Briefings on Afghan War - PowerPoint - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  • PowerPoint’s worst offense is not a chart like the spaghetti graphic, which was first uncovered by NBC’s Richard Engel, but rigid lists of bullet points (in, say, a presentation on a conflict’s causes) that take no account of interconnected political, economic and ethnic forces.
  • behind all the PowerPoint jokes are serious concerns that the program stifles discussion, critical thinking and thoughtful decision-making.
  • “I have to make a storyboard complete with digital pictures, diagrams and text summaries on just about anything that happens,” Lieutenant Nuxoll told the Web site. “Conduct a key leader engagement? Make a storyboard. Award a microgrant? Make a storyboard.”

      Sounds like the exercise has become about the tool, and the tool is meant to stand in for someone who is putting the simplified/bulleted content in context.  Powerpoint is not the enemy, it's being misused.  
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • hierarchical ordering of a confused world
  • the slides impart less information than a five-page paper can hold, and that they relieve the briefer of the need to polish writing to convey an analytic, persuasive point
  • “Dumb-Dumb Bullets,
  • vague PowerPoint slides
  • oes come in handy when the goal is not imparting information

    Sounds like the exercise has become about the tool, and the tool is meant to stand-in for someone who is putting the simplified/bulleted content in context.   Powerpoint is not the enemy, it's being misused as a replacement for rigorous critical thinking around complex issues.  It's a visual aide, not a complete platform for stand-alone communication.

Aviary Multimedia Suite - 0 views

  •  
    Hi everyone, Aviary is an online suite of multimedia programs. They're very similar to Photoshop, Garageband, Illustrator etc, but FREE and WEB-BASED. Basically like Google docs but multimedia creation software. Would be cool for class projects and/or students who want to experiment with media programs but don't have any installed on their computer.
