The Gmail Guide for Everyone - 0 views

  •  
    Gmail has changed so much in the past two years that referring to it simply as an "email client" doesn't do it justice. This manual is not for new Gmail users, but for those of you who already use Gmail as an email client and want to take advantage of its many features. Those of you who are new should probably read The Ultimate Guide to Gmail first, which will give you an introduction to the service and how to use its most important features.

How One Classroom Actually Used iPads To Go Paperless (Part 1: Research) | Edudemic - 1 views

  • The 4 Goals A few of the goals that we outlined prior to the research process included: - Students will crowd-source their research to a collective research group.- Students will incorporate varied media types into their research: web based text, traditional text, audio and video.- Students will work collaboratively with their teacher and classmates on their research and writing process.- Students will become proficient researching and writing in a digital environment.
  • Diigo and the iPads proved to be particularly helpful during the process of researching and annotating.

      Students have the free app Evernote which will do the same thing, plus can be accessed on any other device. A better option I think.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • As an alternative to the process of writing in Pages, collecting research in Diigo and storing documents in Dropbox, I would consider jumping to Evernote to house the entire process.

    "One of the key conceptual models of the information field is the "information spectrum," the hierarchy of data - information - knowledge - wisdom. I first learned this model from Bob Taylor, former dean of the Syracuse University School of Information Studies, and it is explained in his book, Value-Added Processes in Information Systems, Ablex, 1986, as the "Value-Added Spectrum," (p. 6). I teach this model to almost all of my classes, especially to my undergraduate students as part of developing an "information perspective" -- looking at the world through information-colored glasses. This is the way I explain the information spectrum (sometimes referred to as the DIKW hierarchy): Data = characters, symbols, numbers, signs whose meaning may or may not be apparent. Information = data with labels or definition; data that has structure or relationships. Knowledge = collected, combined, organized, processed information for a purpose. Wisdom = knowledge over time; knowledge without thinking. "
