BlackBerry unveils Playbook tablet to rival iPad - Telegraph - 0 views

  • BlackBerry unveils Playbook tablet to rival iPad
  • BlackBerry will release the tablet early in the new year. The device will feature a 7-inch multitouch screen and a new operating system derived from the company’s purchase of QNX.
  • "QNX is going to enable things that you have never seen before”. Lazardis said the PlayBook would be “the first professional tablet”, and Dodge added that it would be "an incredible gaming platform for publishers and the players”.

  • The tablet will be able to run Adobe’s Flash, which Apple’s iPad doesn’t, and offer micro-HDMI and micro-usb ports. It weighs just 400g and includes dual HD cameras for video calling.
  • Although 3G and 4G models are planned for the future, the device will initially connect to the web via wifi or via a user’s BlackBerry smartphone, and offer a reflection of its screen for expanded use. Lazardis said it will offer “true multi-tasking” and "an amplified view of what's already on your BlackBerry”. It’s expected that 16gb and 32gb models will be offered.

Five questions with: Jeff Swain, ETS innovation consultant, on the iPad and education -... - 0 views

  • Two things really struck me about the iPad during my time with it. The first was how it extended my activity in reality. The touch screen feels like an natural extension of myself.
  • This is a huge paradigm shift
  • the device changed my perception of connecting
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • I found myself thinking less about Web pages and urls and more about specific places to go, places within places.
  • It's not that the iPad does everything well but it does do everything I need it to do well enough
  • Instead of comparing it to a cellphone or a laptop we should be exploring its potential for new ways of meaning-making.
  • test out the educational value
  • iPad is a Kindle killer in the e-book category because it creates a more intimate reading experience.
  • Because it can do the things I need to do when I'm on the go, the iPad has turned my laptop into my new desktop.
  • Make it a content creation device as well.
  • it's come in quite handy with my dissertation work. Using an application called Papers which I have on both my laptop and the iPad, I am able to access various education and research databases, download articles, and mark them up

Get Serious About Social Learning by Focusing on What Matters by Eric Davidove : Learni... - 0 views

  • Social learning has taken on a kind of religious fervor among learning practitioners during the past couple of years—and not without good reason. It often creates more powerful and enduring learning experiences; it helps people establish and leverage social connections to accelerate the distribution and sharing of experiences, content, and guidance; and it allows learners to be more productive, learn faster, and work smarter.
  • it’s easy to lose focus on what matters, and to assume the end game is the technology
  • A social learning strategy should paint a compelling picture of the future state, clearly articulate the business case for change, and outline the roadmap for how you will get from “here” to “there” (including what must change, stop, and continue)

  • Social learning, at its core, is a network of communities. This network is usually formed and accessed through the use of social media. The community network provides the “path” for an effective flow of information.
  • A community network is the primary source of advice, methods, leading practices, lessons learned, and innovation. It’s the “repository” of content, experience, and intelligence that enables people to learn, develop, and excel at work. The effectiveness and usefulness of the community network is a function of its size and make-up.
