Step by step guidelines on Google Drive and Docs.

I think it can. The author seemed to be taking a very narrow, perhaps traditional, view of evaluation.

Yea I agree, and I think when the author talks about 'use a traditional e-portfolio program', he must be thinking about BB or D2L..

very timely ashley. thanks much! will be extracting info for today's session - subtly introducing CC for a group of ELL students.

Like your comment about how the iPads don't become the focus of the learning. That's a thought that's been on my mind recently - the importance of the perception of "seamlessness" in tech usage. That's probably one of the most important reasons a technology gets adapted - no matter how cumbersome it seems at first (e.g. learning how to drive a car) - because the normal usage of the technology doesn't hinder the intended task at hand. (That's why once you learn to ride a bike, you don't think so much about the bicycle itself as you think about moving faster.) Think Donald Norman in "The Design of Everyday Things" has a term for this: affordability. So I guess, my thought on the usage of the iPad (and any new tech at hand): The learning of the new tech need not be intuitive. But the everyday usage has to seamlessly flow with the given task at hand - so that the tool and the user become "one" with the task. (Just like how a user fumbles with a pair of chopsticks at first, but once he masters it, his chopsticks "become" part of his fingers.) Then such seamless technologies get seamlessly adopted as "cognitive-multipliers".

Thanks Kartini! I strongly agree too. To add on to your point, I think for the Gen-Yers, social media tools also facilitate on-going collaboration by engaging the emotive power of relational bonds to help bring everyone onto the same page. I remember reading this in my Media Theories module: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agenda-setting_theory... hope you find it relevant! "Agenda-setting theory is the theory that the news media have a large influence on audiences by their choice of what stories to consider newsworthy and how much prominence and space to give them. Agenda-setting theory's main postulate is salience transfer. Salience transfer is the ability of the news media to transfer issues of importance from their news media agendas to public agendas. Through their day-by-day selection and display of the news, editors and news directors focus our attention and influence our perceptions of what are the most important issues of the day. This ability to influence the salience of topics on the public agenda has come to be called the agenda setting role of the news media."

If a kitten can learn with an iPad… how much more can we learn?  :D

Using narratives to deliver content.

some good tips, worth viewing.

Neat! This resource will be very useful when I conduct my workshop on QR codes next month.

Something that *might* come in useful to the e-portfolio team and Pratima (for the LST talks).

A story on how a college student used Evernote which helped his workflow of how he studied and tips on how using Evernote helped him get organized and focused on tasks. 

Thanks for making my life easy! ;)

woot. interesting adobe adopting the idea of gamification to get people to learn photoshop techniques in their marketing. watch the trailer. Other than marketing idea aside, do try it if you want to win your own personal copies of photoshop latest ver.

WeVideo is a collaborative online video creation tool. In the video editor you can upload your own media clips or use stock media clips to produce your video. The video editor provides tools for trimming the length of display and or sound of each element you add to your video project. What makes WeVideo collaborative is that you can invite other people to create and edit with you. 

not related to work but something worth going for.

This is really a masterpiece. I was at Shanghai's EXPO venue when I first saw this. We need to pay admission ticket to view this even when we were there. Since its coming to SG, worthwhile to pay for the admission if you are interested. Adult - $21, Child - $16.

Eveleen, check out the design of this app. It has similar but limited functions compared to MobileGeo. But its user interface looks promising!

Yes, interface is nice. Too bad its not a free app. Else can play with it to get more ideas.

It was free yesterday. Check out the link I shared earlier to get alerts on free apps.

Need some head turning resumes. Here's some for reference for your portfolio or profile view.
