how to files automator batch renaming rename technology

  • In OS X you can set up a routine to batch-rename files using Apple's Automator program, where you can make a service plug-in that will offer you options to change names to collecitons of files.
  • When your workflow is complete, saving it will automatically place it in the /username/Library/Services/ folder, which will make it available via the OS X contextual menu. Now when you go to the Finder, you can select a group of files or folders, and then right-click them and select your workflow from the Services submenu of the contextual menu.

  • How can P2P networks go legit?'' My answer is, ``they already are
  • No one here would dispute that filesharing networks are used by those who would violate copyright. But this is not solely the domain of P2P; copyrighted software has been traded on electronic bulletin board systems (BBSs) since their inception and has permeated every public communication protocol on the Internet. Filesharing is a social phenomenon, not a technological one - demonizing P2P based on one use of the technology is a mistake
  • BitTorrent is a P2P system that allows large, popular files to be downloaded quickly

  • a distinction can be made between a technology (P2P) and implementations of that technology
  • the system was not designed with illegal use in mind, but instead to faciliate transfer of large files in an economical way.
  • trading of copyrighted files is not central to the technology
  • While you could potentially upload a virus to a public tracker and provide a .torrent file for it, you'd still have to convince people to download and run the file just as if you posted it to a website.
  • Legitimate uses of BitTorrent
  • Open Source
  • Live-Taping
  • Dave Matthews Band, Pearl Jam, Tenacious D
  • bands are realizing that having a loyal following is very valuable and that they can both support their fans and still sell records
  • Slashdot
  • DIY Publishing
  • legitimate P2P use is here and has a definite role to play in the future of the Internet

    "How can P2P networks go legit?'' My answer is, ``they already are.'' The world-wide-web is used to download illegally copied software, copyrighted music and movies as well as child pornography, yet we're not asking how the web can go legit. No one here would dispute that filesharing networks are used by those who would violate copyright. But this is not solely the domain of P2P; copyrighted software has been traded on electronic bulletin board systems (BBSs) since their inception and has permeated every public communication protocol on the Internet. Filesharing is a social phenomenon, not a technological one - demonizing P2P based on one use of the technology is a mistake in my opinion. P2P already has positive mainstream benefits in certain communities and new uses are being found all the time."

  • if the metric you used to judge whether or not a new technology is a "pirate technology" is what percentage of its use was "unauthorized," you get a very skewed picture. Early on, all sorts of new and innovative technologies are mostly used for unauthorized copies... until the industry catches up. However, people don't often deal with trends very well, and they assume, quite incorrectly, that if a technology is initially used in an unauthorized manner, it must be a "piracy tool" and no amount of discussing how trends and adaptation works will convince them otherwise.
  • over time, things change. Content creators begin to embrace the new, realize that it might not be evil, and suddenly we see more and more interesting case studies. And that seems to be happening with BitTorrent. The recent MusicMetric analysis of BitTorrent downloads for the first six months of 2012 found that 31% of downloads were for authorized files. Now, you can argue that this is still less than half of all files -- but it's a big step up from the standard claims that somewhere between 1% and 10% were authorized. It seems quite likely that the trend is moving in the right direction.
  • the idea that BitTorrent is just for infringement may have to be officially considered debunked

    Add Google Drive Folder to Google Sites This is a feature we've all been wanting and it has been described on the Google Sites Help forum many times - a link between Google Drive and Google Sites. Google Sites, while it has those file cabinet pages, isn't the best document management system available, especially next to the incredible set of features in Google Drive.

technology integration

shared by Sean McHugh on 29 May 17 - No Cached
  • describing exemplars of technology integration is not synonymous with student-centered teaching. And student-centered teaching is not the same as “success” in student learning
  • Evidence of technology use in Europe, Asia, and the Americas  (see JECR PDF) have pointed out how powerful devices often end up being used to support teacher-centered instruction.
  • The all-important implementation question–too often overlooked, ignored, or forgotten by champions of new technologies–remains: have teachers altered their classroom practices as a consequence of using new technologies? Without such changes in teaching practices, then student learning and outcomes can hardly be expected to improve.
