CCK 12

Two weeks ago I wrote about Chill which is kind of like Pinterest for videos. This morning I started trying another service for sharing and discovering video content. That service is Plizy. Plizy is a service that allows you to browse for and save videos to playback later on your iPad or Android tablet.

Edupunk is an approach to teaching and learning practices that result from a do it yourself attitude and the avoidance of mainstream educational tools. and processes.

Hi Joanne, Check out the Edupunks' Guide at http://www.edupunksguide.org/ A comprehensive guide to learning online and charting a personalized path to an affordable credential using the latest innovative tools and organizations.

The more freedom and self directed learning the better I say, but what about bona fide credentials for the stiff upper lips of the world? This is a great site with step by step and tutorials. It all starts with research and wanting and learning to learn...

Sorry, I posted text into the URL line instead of the URL. Sorry! I've been trying to edit this or delete it for the past half hour with no success. I really HATE Diigo, it is not at all user-friendly.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus quits Twitter. "Last weekend, I sent my last Twitter message: "Dear Twitter - Adios. Free at last. Free at last, Great God almighty I'm free at last."

I have the feeling that despite what he says now, Charlie will be back on Twitter. Maybe using an Avatar? Hard for a Twitter addict with plenty to say on the issues of the day to go cold turkey I would think?

I agree, and expand on it, avatars are an interesting twist on leading a double life or triple or quadruple... hard to maintain integrity with the multiple personalities. I opted out of twitter because of the research on addictiveness to it, even though it was one of the course venues. Same reason I don't have a cel.! call me at home if I am out I am unreachable and living my life elsewhere.

Naked Lecturer? I had a look, of course. There were no pictures. Bummer. A while ago, I checked out "The Naked Scientists" podcast and found they all wore white lab coats, just like the rest of them. Life is full of disappointments. I see that "The Naked Lecturer" worked in both the "Further" and "Higher" Education sectors. I'm trying to imagine how to picture that . . . An x-y chart? Perhaps a hot air balloon and a jet plane? Would You Rather: Ride in a hot air balloon or travel in a jet plane? In any case, the resources are very useful, and they are presented in a usable way. Especially the little post-it Notes. Oh, I get it. Use them to cover up the interesting bits. Very cleaver. That's not higher or further, that's just better.

Online Markets ... connecting ... People of Earth

How is this 1999 manifesto holding up? Are markets better informed, smarter, and more demanding, thanks to the web?
