Because eduCanon uses HTML5, rather than Flash, playback works great on an iPad, too.

This could be an advantage for Apple devices. Flash has occasional issues with Apple products.

That's good to know. My students have a mixed bag of devices, and several have Ipads.

The first time students watch a video, they are unable to skip through the video; they have to watch the whole thing from start to finish and attempt every question.

Love this feature. Like with reading, middle schoolers pick through material to find the answers. We can't glue them to their seats, but they never know where those questions will pop up and they can't look ahead to see what answers they need to find. Love that!

You paste in the URL of the video, then watch it play

According to another blog I was reading regarding licensing and sharing, if the "embed" function is operable the owner has endorsed (consciously or thru oversight?) sharing.

there is also a slew of applications designed specifically for independent language learning, but these are not representative of the push for task-based instruction in higher education

IA Strategy: Addressing the Signatures of Information Overload :: UXmatters - 1 views
-
Koltay—and likely most of you who are reading this column—have observed how Web 2.0 and the use of folksonomies have created conditions that result in information overload. When we provide applications that let users manage information, and those users have limited to no awareness of knowledge organization for the Web, the information architectures that evolve for users and the entire system may be less than optimal. Since most users are not equipped to produce sound classification schemes or efficient top-down taxonomies on their own, their impact on any system creates what I call a literacy gap, depicted in Figure 6. Depending on the other signatures of information overload that play out in users’ interaction with a system, the consequences of their literacy gap can lead to information overload. Koltay’s article makes this claim, and I agree.

I am experimenting with "sticky notes" as I ponder info overload and juggle all the new web2.0 I can handle! :-) -
The above excerpt reminds me of a collaborative review project that we did in my class at the end of the last school year. We broke down each unit and lesson that we had covered into chunks and each student was supposed to make virtual flashcards (on quizlet.com) with their chunk of the material. Some students did great while others were absolutely lost while using the computers. It had a deleterious effect on the overall project. As I try to imagine implementing more web resources with the goal of productive communication and interaction in L2, I am troubled by the disparity of web/computer literacy among students. I don't mean to sound negative, but it is something I really struggle with. What about the students who lack the necessary skills?
-
Even when working with teachers, we find this in workshops. We tend to pair/group teachers, so they can help each other out - have you tried that with students?
-
Yes, I did assign pairs. Some students are smartphone literate and seem to have little to no interest in anything desktop. Hmmm...perhaps I should try focusing on the ipads.

-
Yes, while Twitter is most engaging when tweets are firing away, it is also a poster child for propagating information overload.
-
Another good point! I love all the new technologies at our fingertips, but at some point it becomes a bit overwhelming.

One of the applications I tried out was Socrative. It can best be described as online clickers. Here is an article that describes it more in detail. Since I teach at college and EVERYONE has cellphones, it is very easy (and fun) for students to use. And teachers get immediate feedback!

A few of my students use Prezi. Basically like powerpoint, but visually a little more appealing. I'm assuming it's free, and probably stored in the cloud somewhere, so students can't really "lose" or forget it.
-
Prezi is free, and does have a sharing component. It is helpful for students that use Ipads, since Google presentation doesn't seem to work for them.

I was expecting something totally different when I clicked on this article. Teaching at a community college, I thought it might be about online behavior on a discussion board assignment or something online and collaborative. Even though it was about something else, I found this tool to be fascinating and thought if I taught in the K-12 system, this would be a great tool.
