App Inventor for Android - 9 views

  •  
    You can build just about any app you can imagine with App Inventor. Often people begin by building games like WhackAMole or games that let you draw funny pictures on your friend's faces. You can even make use of the phone's sensors to move a ball through a maze based on tilting the phone. But app building is not limited to simple games. You can also build apps that inform and educate. You can create a quiz app to help you and your classmates study for a test. With Android's text-to-speech capabilities, you can even have the phone ask the questions aloud. To use App Inventor, you do not need to be a developer. App Inventor requires NO programming knowledge. This is because instead of writing code, you visually design the way the app looks and use blocks to specify the app's behavior.

    WOW! Very Scratch-like UI for programming Android mobile apps!!

FreedomLab Future Studies » Is asking "What is Internet" a stupid question? - 10 views

  • I got far more the fealing that kids don’t talk about the ‘web’ in total… that’s domething that’s just there like motorway-infrastructure. They expresse themselves by activating tools like msn-ing etc. If I as a Digital Imigrant needed to put a word to what there metaphore would be like, is close to things like the swarm, the crows, the cloud… like it is a huge living IT =)

Moodle Sites with Exemplary Design Elements - 25 views

  •  
    "list of Moodle site examples was created by the NHDOE Office of Educational Technology (www.nheon.org/oet) as a resource for schools considering the use of Moodle. All of these sites came from the main Moodle directory of sites at http://www.moodle.org/sites/. This list is not meant to be all-inclusive, nor was it compiled in any systematic or scientific manner. It is simply a list with notes about site features as they were viewed online during the month of July 2006."

GradeGuru, note sharing by students for students - 0 views

  •  
    This is backed by McGraw Hill -- I think it is their way of getting free info to create online texts....it's a place where students get paid to upload their notes (i.e. boiled down teacher lectures). A very clever stategy, but there is something about it that doesn't sit well.... I am wondering what ownership rights you give up when you upload notes? This would make an interesting blog post if explored more.

Innovate: Rhizomatic Education : Community as Curriculum - 0 views

  •  
    The pace of technological change has challenged historical notions of what counts as knowledge. Dave Cormier describes an alternative to the traditional notion of knowledge as defined by experts who decide what enters the canon and thus what is students should learn. In the place of the expert-centered pedagogical planning and publishing cycle, Cormier suggests a rhizomatic model of learning. In the rhizomatic model, knowledge is negotiated, and the learning experience is a social as well as a personal knowledge creation process with mutable goals and constantly negotiated premises.

    Of interest may be a look at the following site. EQ has done a range of research around the area of 1:1. It has recently released a 1:1 Smart Classrooms Byte on the topic which may help in some ways answer some of the issues on 1:1. The website is: http://education.qld.gov.au/smartclassrooms/strategy/dp/one-2-one.html The downloadable PDF titled "Smart Classrooms Byte: 21 Steps to 21st Century 1-to-1 Success" is listed in the first line. On the page is also some base information on the trials currently underway using some of the Ultra mobiles mentioned in this thread (i.e. eeePC, etc)

National Novel Writing Month - 0 views

  •  
    Following is from Webware.com (overview of service) "National Novel Writing Month National Novel Writing Month is a really neat service. For 11 months out of the year, it's a place where aspiring writers can congregate, discuss books they love, and talk about what kinds of books they plan to write. But in November, it's home to a flurry of activity. During National Novel Writing Month, users write 50,000-word novels. As they hit different milestones, they update their profiles with information on how far along they are. When the story is complete, each qualifying manuscript idea will be added to the site's Winner's page. Winning authors receive a certificate and a Web badge. If they're lucky, an agent or publisher might like their idea, request to read the manuscript, and publish the book in hardcover."

StoryCaching Home - storycaching - 0 views

  •  
    Storycaching is a proof-of-concept project combining GPS units, iPods, and laptop computers to create, store and share audio stories where absolute place is important. By using a GPS to locate a specific point on the earth and then listening to a podcast specific to that area, a new dimension in communication is created. Also, an artifact, trinket, or other symbolic object can be cached at that exact site adding a compelling relevance to the story. The experience could even include the podcast guiding the listener to the cache from the beginning point noted by the GPS. Once combined, the iPod and the GPS will recreate concept of sharing stories both in the capabilities of the storyteller and the expectations of the listener. via Brenda Muench
