  • This is seen by many as a battle for the soul of the digital frontier.
  • Since the dawn of the commercial Web, technology has eclipsed content.
  • this is a battle that seemed fought and won — not just toppling newspapers and music labels but also AOL and Prodigy and anyone who built a business on the idea that a curated experience would beat out the flexibility and freedom of the Web.
  • Chaos isn’t a business model. A new breed of media moguls is bringing order — and profits — to the digital world.
  • the top 10 Web sites accounted for 31 percent of US pageviews in 2001, 40 percent in 2006, and about 75 percent in 2010.
  • Within five years, Morgan Stanley projects, the number of users accessing the Net from mobile devices will surpass the number who access it from PCs.
  • For the sake of the optimized experience on mobile devices, users forgo the general-purpose browser.

Integrating Technology into the Classroom | Edutopia - 0 views

  • 4. Seek out Web-based professional development. I am finding that Web-based training is very appealing to classroom teachers simply because there is no time in a school day to learn how to use/integrate technology. In many districts today, planning time has been significantly reduced. This leaves teachers with either early morning, after school, weekend, or Web-based training as the only options for technolgoy professional development. Web-based training, if designed effectively and utilized rich multimedia, gives teachers convenient anytime, anwhere training. In fact, I created a Blackboard course about Blackbord that utilizes interactive streaming flash video. If a teacher wants to learn how to create and and suggestions for integrating a wiki in a Blackboard course, they simply watch a streaming video on how to accomplish this. This, then, allows teachers to apply skills and have complete control over their own learning/training pace. I think more teachers need to inquire/push for Web-based technology professional development to their I.T. departments and administrators; not just be provided with hyperlinks to online tutorials that merely show you how to use educational software.

New web-search formulas have huge implications for students and society - 0 views

  • When web surfers use Google or Bing to look for information about, say, the national debt, the search results they now see at the top of the page might differ from those of their neighbor. That’s because all the major search engines have revamped their formulas to include social media data as key indicators of a website’s importance.

      Will students even realize that search results are being tailored to them?? -- Educators MUST address this situation with students!!
  • The reasoning behind this game-changing move is to help us sift through the overwhelming amount of information at our fingertips. The major search companies recognize that we need a filtering system to save us from information overload, and the system they’ve created now relies more heavily on our history of preferences than on an objective calculation of relevance to bring certain resources to the front of the pack.

      How will users be able to make informed decisions or think outside their comfort zone if the links at the top of their search results mirror their currently held ideas??

The Top 10 Education APIs (And Why They're Important) | Edudemic - 1 views

  •  
    First off, what is an API? API stands for Application Program Interface. It's a tool which allows web applications (websites and apps to the layman) to communicate with each other and share information stored in each other's databases. This information can then be incorporated into new and different projects.
