Free Technology for Teachers: Create Your Own iPad Games on TinyTap - 0 views

  •  
    This looks like a cute app for the very young. You upload pictures and arrange them in a set, create one or more questions for each, which you record. The user taps to hear the questions and taps a place on the picture to answer it. TinyTap also has a market with free and purchaseable games already made. Lots of potential for ESL vocabulary practice, since once you get by the interface it doesn't look childish at all.

Mrs. Yollis' Classroom Blog: Video: The Benefits of Blogging! - 0 views

  •  
    How a classroom blog with 2-3rd grades (ages7-9) can "flatten" the classroom walls. The teacher starts by teaching how to write a quality blog. The video includes comments in a video made by the students themselves. (Very cute.) Students also learned about Internet safety practices. Learning goes on well beyond the class hours and the local culture. Students also Skype with students in other countries.

Sharing Technology: iFake Text - 0 views

  •  
    This is a funny tool for turning normal text into a pseudo-text message. The author, Deb Norton, suggests using it for kids to write messages from two characters in a novel, or to give advice as language practice, etc. Cute idea.

Visual Notes Explained | Diigo - 4 views

  •  
    A cute infographic (?) of the what and why. Visual notetaking is encouraged for lectures and readings, and may help students make the material their own. I would recommend a combination with text notes, as students do need practice in all kinds of writing.

    Wondering what BYOD [Bring Your own device] means or if your school is ready for it? In this 8-minute Pedagogical Quickie, I present some of the many advantages and limitations of this concept for education." This is a cute video with an interesting point - getting your students to use their own devices has some problems, but it overcomes many others. BYOD isn't mandatory, but it would be great if schools acknowledge it.

Top Web 2.0 Tools for Learning for the New School Year - 0 views

  •  
    "The list of cutely, cleverly and sometimes oddly spelled Web 2.0 apps for learning continues to grow, making it easier but also more confusing to find online tools to help you learn and excel as a student." - Many of these are not Web 2.0, but simply online productivity tools, but it's good to find some new ones.

A HYPERTEXT HISTORY OF MULTI-USER DIMENSIONS - 1 views

  • MUDs (multi-user dungeons or dimensions)(note) have most of the following characteristics: several people can play at once; the game is partioned into virtual spaces ("rooms") such that people and objects in one room cannot directly interact with people and objects in another room; all interaction takes place in text, not pictures or sounds; communications are handled with TCP sockets; most of the code is written and maintained by university students and is available in the public domain; combinations of objects, rooms and exits allow simple puzzles, while some MUDs with their own programming languages allow for much more complicated puzzles and toys; even MUDs created for serious purposes retain some of the original Adventure or role-playing game atmosphere; and since identities aren't constrained by reality, the characters on muds include close facsimiles of the people who play them, furry animals, science fiction heros, and all ranges of cute, profane, obnoxious, witty, or just plain weird.(note)
  •  
    Deals with technical problems of database and social structure in MUDS. From 1993 -- of historical interest.
