Towards More Effective Online Reading | edfoc.us - 0 views

  • Educators should give the act of online reading equal importance.  Why not?  If teachers want students to “slow read” digital texts, then shouldn’t we employ some of the same reading methodologies that work with physical books and printed words?  Should we just say, “Forget it, our students are just going to read online material in the same manner that they read chat scripts and text messages?”  Explicit teaching is the answer IMHO.  Explicitly teaching the act of online reading using tools that support effective, proven techniques.

WordPress Just Made Millions of Blogs Real-Time With RSSCloud - 0 views

  •  
    All blogs on the WordPress.com platform and any WordPress.org blogs that opt-in (using this plug-in) will now make instant updates available to any RSS readers subscribed to a new feature called RSSCloud.
  •  
    I saw this come through the other day. I've added the WP plugin to my blog but haven't managed to see a demonstration of RSSCloud in action yet. Dave Winer's aggregator seems to be the only one that supports it currently.

Regaining some perspective | TechTicker - 0 views

  • I also sometimes wonder what role – if any – that the writing process (blogging) has played in this. This is hardly to suggest that blogging makes you a radical. However through ongoing reflection and exploration of ideas, I think it can solidify and sharpen existing opinions, and take what may have once been only the seeds of thought and grow them into something far more substantial.
  • In some regards the topic of education is just as contentious as that of politics, and all too easy to become divided by false or artificial delineations.  If we’re going to start to make progress and bring learning and teaching into the 21st century I think the best, most effective, and sustainable way to achieve this is to do it together.

The Public Domain: Enclosing the Commons of the Mind - 0 views

    In this enlightening book James Boyle describes what he calls the range wars of the information age-today's heated battles over intellectual property. Boyle argues that just as every informed citizen needs to know at least something about the environment or civil rights, every citizen should also understand intellectual property law. Why? Because intellectual property rights mark out the ground rules of the information society, and today's policies are unbalanced, unsupported by evidence, and often detrimental to cultural access, free speech, digital creativity, and scientific innovation.

Laconica (private tweeting) - 0 views

    Laconica (pronounced "luh-KAWN-ih-kuh") is a Free and Open Source microblogging platform. It helps people in a community, company or group to exchange short (140 character) messages over the Web. Users can choose which people to "follow" and receive only their friends' or colleagues' status messages. It provides a similar service to sites like Twitter, Jaiku, and Plurk.
  •  
    Are you using this? I created an account with Identi.ca a while back (one of the main platforms that runs on Laconica), but I haven't been back lately because that particular community is very technically oriented (open source people, coders, etc). Certainly don't have anything against open source types (as if!), but prefer an educational bent to it.

    Digress.it is a plugin for WordPress that supports discussion at a far finer level than is traditionally available on most blogs. Rather than limiting conversations to a single field at the bottom of a post, digress.it "lets you comment paragraph by paragraph in the margins of a text." -- Mike Bogle, TechTicker
  •  
    I'm continually looking for a way to use this but so far haven't found one. For personal blogs with fairly short posts it's a bit of overkill I think, but I could easily see it used for longer pieces - especially where you're meticulously analysing or interpreting things.
