Designing for iPhone 4's Retina Display (Global Moxie) - 0 views

  • App Store Icon 512x512 (scaled down to 175x175 for display in the store)
  • Application Icon 114x114 (iPhone 4) 57x57 (older iPhones) 72x72 (iPad)
  • Spotlight Search Results and Settings Icon 58x58 (iPhone 4) 50x50 (Spotlight results for iPad) 29x29 (settings for iPad and older iPhones)
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Document Icon This is a new icon type in iOS 4. It’s used if your app creates a custom document type. The iPad uses the document icon in two different sizes. 320x320 (iPad) 64x64 (iPad) 44x58 (iPhone 4) 22x29 (older iPhones)
  • “Do I really have to make two versions of my images? If I make a single high-resolution set, won’t iOS 4 scale them down on older devices?” Sorry, no, not automatically. While iOS 4 goes seamlessly in the other direction (scaling up low-res images for iPhone 4), it doesn’t work the other way. By default, it scales all images so that one pixel equals one point. That’s a great solution for making sure that old apps work correctly on the new phone, but it doesn’t help you go the other way ‘round.
  • Everything they say about it is true: at 320 ppi, the pixels are just plain invisible.

      It should be 326 PPI
  • The new phone doubles the resolution to 640x960 pixels
  • the 3.5-inch screen was always 320x480 pixels
  • Conveniently enough, the iPhone screen is 320x480 points on both iPhone 4 and older models.

Interview with Dr Ashley on Web 2.0 technology and its relevance to teaching - 0 views

    My instructor from Penn State U shared his thought on the podcast. "I was very intrigued by his reference to Alan Kay when he talked about how the tools shape us via our interactions with them. Kay was (and is) most definitely one of the most visionary and original thinkers when it comes to technology and its applications. To be sure, this point about how the tools shape us is a very good one to emphasize. Tools are not innocuous things and metacognitive awareness can help both teachers and learners think about how their perceptions of ideas, concepts, etc are influenced by the tools they use to express their understandings of these things that they encounter."

    The classroom response system, whether it is Clickers or iRespond or iResponded, is just a tool. How it is used will make a significant difference or not. This video is excellent in showing the power of a CRS through peer discussion and how the instructors manage the wrap-up session. P/S Sally, thank you for the names of academic staff who have signed up to share: A/P Cheung (LST) Daniel (NSSE) Myra Garces (ECSE) - for the production of pedagogical tips for Bb, I was looking for testimonies so that we can create our own short video ....

    Fascinating demo of Google+ features...  one of the neatest features I've seen in there is the "Hangouts" feature. Then Google+'s tagline caught my eyes. "It doesn't matter WHAT you do. It matters WHO you do it with." Reminded me about the power and priority of building closer relationships with your students (akin to Socrates and his disciples) to help make them more receptive to what you want to share with them. So just thinking: How can we help teachers tap into the trend of Google+ and other social networks to help their students in their learning and education?

Video Chat Becomes Social Networking's New Battleground - 0 views

    "On Wednesday, Facebook announced that it had partnered with Skype to let Facebook users call one another from their camera-enabled computers, simply by clicking on a button on a friend's Facebook profile or from the chat window. After a one-time download of Skype's technology, the video calls look to be painless and simple for anyone to use. Compare that to Hangout, Google's new video chat in its still invite-only social network Google+. Hangout is designed as a group chat application for impromptu socializing with friends. To start one, you press a button declaring you are open to hanging out, choose which circle(s) of friends to send the invite to, and up to 10 people can be in the room at any one time. The loudest talker gets the big space up top - and the group can collectively talk or even watch YouTube videos together. As young Marty McFly once said in a different context, your kids are going to love it."

Startups are about to blow up the textbook - Fortune Tech - 0 views

shared by yeuann on 19 Mar 13 - No Cached
  • "CK-12 basically looked at STEM [science, technology, engineering, and math] and broke it down into the 5,000 fundamental concepts, and they mapped them all together," Chakrapani says. "It's not about creating a textbook and every three years putting out a new edition so you can capture more revenue. It's about thinking how a student learns."
  • "And then you go back at the end of year with teachers, see what students struggle on, and revise and improve the book. Each year, the text gets better."
  • Free educational resources -- like a university course on Coursera, for example -- may be available for students to use at no cost, but students cannot reuse, remix, or repurpose that course content however they'd like. By contrast open-source materials like CK-12's materials are not only free, but can also be freely repurposed in any way a student or teacher sees fit.

How MOOCs Could Meet the Challenge of Providing a Global Education | MIT Technology Review - 0 views

shared by yeuann on 14 Apr 13 - No Cached
  • As MOOCs cast their eye to the developing world, very minor tweaks matter a great deal, such as the ability to allow students to download, rather than only stream course videos. But even more major ones are coming, including edX’s plans to start open-sourcing its platform in the next few months, which could allow even more universities to post online courses, and software programmers around the world to experiment with customized interfaces.
  • “We need to make sure we are making tools that make it easy to create new content, so it’s not only someone at MIT or Stanford who creates.” Relevance, as he notes, is one of the biggest motivators for students.
  • One of the major challenges for MOOCs—which so far mostly come from U.S. universities—is to tailor the content of courses to a diverse worldwide audience with any number of combinations of language, educational, motivational, and cultural backgrounds. Critics fear the rise of big box education from only a few elite institutions in Western nations, and worry these may not fit the different learning styles in different nations.

20 Ways High Schools Are Using Twitter In The Classroom - 0 views

  • BACKCHANNEL DISCUSSION TOOL High school students can sometimes be quite introverted and shy in the classroom, but outspoken online. Additionally, some high school classes move through discussions quickly, and not all students find the opportunity to speak up in class. Both of these issues are addressed as high school classes encourage a Twitter backchannel discussion, in which quiet, shy, and unable-to-get-a-word-in-edgewise students are able to speak up in class without actually speaking up in class, sharing their comments, insights, and even relevant links through Twitter as the discussion goes on. Educators have found that Twitter backchannel discussions provide for more interaction not just in the classroom, but beyond, as students often enjoy further carrying on the conversation even after class time is over.

  • PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Twitter makes the education world smaller, connecting principals, teachers, and other education professionals across the U.S. and even around the globe. Principal Sheninger at New Milford High School in New Jersey started using Twitter to keep in touch with parents, but found its real value in reaching out to other educators and collaborating with them. He is able to use the tool to find new ideas, new resources, and ideas for professional development

    As cool as Chirp is for fun, personal sharing, it's even better for mass communications. For example, TV shows constantly tell viewers to follow them on Twitter or go to some web site. What they're doing is giving the audience a homework assignment, making them type a code in order to receive some information. However, with Chirp, TV shows could just play the chirps. Viewers watching at home would passively receive all the content chirped by the show. TV shows could allow photo "uploads" by phone, too. You can imagine TV shows providing a number that has an answering machine. Users could snap a picture, then leave the chirp of the picture as a message on the machine. It works just as well on radio, on podcasts, in videos and any situation where sound is involved.
