Basically, Cinch lives up to its name by making podcasting a cinch. Users can upload audio from a smartphone application, by dialling a number from their mobile phone or by uploading via the website using their computer. It just makes podcasting so easy!
"I've had this growing interest lately in QR codes and their application to education. I'm quickly coming to the realization at how useful QR codes can be in education and how these little graphical icons can make mobile learning a little easier for teachers to incorporate with students. Here is a list of some websites that I've accessed recently on the topic."
To gather research material for a project or presentation, you normally have to bookmark numerous webpages for later viewing. Sharing these bookmarked pages individually can prove to be inconvenient. Here to offer a better solution is Bundlr, a free to use website that lets you create virtual bundles of webpages.
Lots of tools let you share a webpage with the world but what about sharing a specific quotation or specific piece of text? BookmarkQ is an amazingly simple tool that helps you share specific text from a website. It works as a bookmarklet by adding it to your browser's bookmark bar.

Yeah, but which one? And in what capacity? YouTube can just be more "sage on the stage" or, I'm being generous, sage vetted alternative content delivery material.
It depends. Checkout www.tinyurl.com/ycLL4dq It's a group of math grad students who run a website for math review for accuplacer, sat, act, etc. MCCCD testing centers gives out free booklets for math review for the accuplacer. Accuplacer sells math review for their own placement tests. But read the equations and they just bounce off your eyes and fall to the flloor. However, watch the math grads on youtube explain it and even people who took math 30 years ago say "oh yeah, I remember how to solve those quadratic equations."
Notice who funded this research! This is not surprise considering some of the criticism about who funds the various research projects and organizations support "21st Century Skills."
Yes, and coal companies pay ASU professors mucho dinero to prove there is no global warming. Coal money also pays for lots of TA's & RA's ... keep Deans happy and ASU in the top 60 research institutes in the US.
Yes, I knew it! However, YouTube can be interactive, a read/write technology. I wonder if those professors using YouTube actually have YouTube accounts, know how to favorite, rate, reply, and respond? How many have their own channels and actually publish stuff?
Hmm, how many online teachers answer their email? (present company excluded!!) ;-) I didn't like podcasts for a long time because I can read faster than most people talk. Then I discovered I could clean house while listening to podcasts and I changed my tune.
Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Skype, LinkedIn, MySpace, Flickr, Slideshare, or Google Wave
The data suggest that 80 percent of professors, with little variance by age, have at least one account with either Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Skype, LinkedIn, MySpace, Flickr, Slideshare, or Google Wave
Nearly 60 percent kept accounts with more than one
a quarter used at least four
A majority, 52 percent, said they used at least one of them as a teaching tool.
Video IS this generation's myths & stories. Some linguists say visual symbols are the basis of language and that's why we dream. In English, an instructor could engage students by interspersing video clips of "Prospero's Books" with "The Tempest." Most instructors in science for non-science majors know a movie is de rigueur just before evaluation day! ;-)
