    Do you know if this works with Google Drive (and hopefully Google Sites)?

    Xmind is using google code, will get Yeu Ann to check out the source code. http://code.google.com/p/xmind3/

    I've checked it out. Actually, it's not Google code, but simply an open-source native app stored in Google Projects, an open-source code repository. Nevertheless, it's a good mind-mapping software. Only thing is that it doesn't use Google Drive and I'm not sure if it can be integrated easily into Google Sites (due to Google Sites having issues with iframe elements).

    seems quite a good review for Mindomo, it's integrated to Google apps. http://www.mindomo.com/.

    I tried, cool! The map mind can be embedded in google site. Interface of mind map is easy to use, allow embed youtube link, images, and audio, attachment and links. Free for 3 mindmap and allow collaboration, invite is similar to Google for edit/read rights. There is also have icon, chat, comments and collaborative editing. Yeu Ann, we can include that as guide in student portfolio.

    Yeu Ann, I am referring to Mindomo :)

    Great! I'll try out the free account for the Mindomo next week. So I take it that you guys want to use this as the recommended mind-map app for our students?

Skeuomorphism & Storytelling / Tobias Bjerrome Ahlin - 0 views

shared by yeuann on 14 May 12 - No Cached
  • Designers love to hate skeuomorphism. It’s just decoration, they say. It’s completely useless. It will go out of style. Or as Mark Boulton, co-founder of Five Simple Steps, put it on twitter: I really wish everyone would stop making digital things look like real things. A screen is not a drop shadowed, bevelled, wooden plank. Yet Apple and many other software developers continue to use it heavily in some of their apps. Many hate without asking: Why? Why is Apple and so many others continuing down this path? They have all lost their sense of good design, surely. No?
  • Skeuomorphism is about communcating and reinforcing feelings – getting an application to become a memorable experience, not just a tool. It’s about communicating the purpose of a UI, not only the functions it enables.
  • An interface that is not only easy to use, but fun to use, engages the user and creates an experience where obstacles are easier to overcome, and thus an experience where the product is easier and more effortless to use. Done right, skeuomorphism can retain the simplicity and ease of use of an interface while empowering users to act.

    Seems like there is a dearth of mPortfolios that use open platforms and are not locked into proprietary systems. However, one interesting potential feature that I saw on the page was the idea of voice-to-text for uploading into e-Portfolios.  Am currently working on a mobile app that integrates with Google Sites. Shall explore the voice-to-text idea where possible

shared by Eveleen Er on 24 May 12 - No Cached
  • Microsoft’s research-oriented FUSE Labs launched a new, student-oriented social network last weekend
  • So.cl has been designed for students studying social media to extend their educational experience and rethink how they learn and communicate. They can build posts with many elements—photos, video, text, and more—and share them with colleagues. They also can find students with similar interests and build communities around specific educational goals. So.cl might even give students the ability to create their own social tool, customized for their own community.”

    A useful tool for wirelessly projecting and "laser-pointing" photos. Projecting and presenting with PDFs is less direct but just as nifty.
