21st Century Education in New Brunswick, Canada - YouTube - 21 views

  •  
    Good promo video by New Brunswick schools designed to provoke thought and conversation. Particularly notable quotes: "The top ten jobs today didn't exist in 2004." and "Many skills learned in public schools today will be obsolete by graduation." I have some thoughts on this at http://tannervision.blogspot.com/2013/11/new-brunswicks-view-of-21st-century.html

Sales on Diigo - 15 views

It appears to me that we are getting a lot of sales promos and downright links to vendor websites. Is there any way to stop this practice? All it is doing is filling up the page with useless info...

Put Chromebooks in proper context: This is not a joke - TechRepublic - 83 views

  • The issue, instead, is whether a user's needs can be met with web applications and services.
  • Google and Chromebook manufacturers are betting that the web will be enough for many users. That's not a joke. That's a market. And I think many people believe that's where the world is heading.

    How could you not help to be excited about the 5th grade, if this is how it is presented to you?

How the iPad 2 Will Revolutionize Education | Fast Company - 105 views

  •  
    Not compelling at all. When a company tells you how a technology will revolutionize education, think very carefully, deeply, and critically.
  •  
    Agreed. I'll consider the iPad an educational resource when Apple starts giving some serious grants for it. Till then, it just seems like Jobs wants schools to join the bandwagon the way consumers do.

      could students use to create quick "process" math videos?
    • Cheryl Corte
       
      Definitely. Choose the right template to build your math videos. Add music (background), Animoto does the rest. Sign-up for an Educators account to create Math videos throughout the year.

    Neel, You must sign up for an educator account and they automatically give you an Educator Plus account for 184 days, along with a promo code that you can share with up to 50 other individuals (typically students), after the 184 days it only costs $5.00/month or $30/yr. They also offer a referral program so that you can earn an upgraded account for FREE but each referral has to become a paying subscriber.

    I also am having trouble finding how to sign up for the educator.'s account. I follow the links but they do ot offer the educator option. Any ideas?
  •  
    could student use free version to make quick videos - you only get 30 seconds for free ... but I think that would work toward being concise and planning ahead
