This morning I came here before I went to twitter. This seems to be the place to be right now. Still not sure of all the groupings, taggings, etc. Reading what everyone writes and hoping to get it soon

information fluency @ Bing vs. Google - 0 views
-
Here's a side by side comparison of Bing Vs Google results on the term: Information Fluency 21cif.com ( formerly 21cif.imsa.edu ) has been online for 10+ years and dominates the Google Search results. Nothing in the top ten for Bing? Google ranks our old url #1 and our new url #4. Give this a try for your self with the same terms? I'll bet you get radically different results from Google than I do. Since I've worked on the 21cif project for nearly 8 years, I know the materials well. Also Google has adapted to my search habits and provides me with more links relevant to my interest. On the Google page I'm given a link to my search-wiki results: http://tinyurl.com/21cif-search-wiki -

The more sources of information you tap, the better your chances of getting a less filtered view of what's available on the world wide web

Will play on Sunday with Karen McMillan and Alice Barr. Anyone else want to join? Anyone want to teach?
-
Ryan Bretag I'll join in the fun if you'll have me. Let me know time when you know.
- ...24 more annotations...
-
I was going to present 20 minutes on Del.icio.us, but I may show Diigo instead - or both - or 20 minutes is not enough....
-
This new version "appears" to have fixed that issue, plus I've been impressed with the new features.
-
Caroline Obannon I'm second guessing teaching only del.icio.us myself, too.
-
Liz Davis I'm wondering if Diigo is too much for the newbie. Delicious is so simple and obviously useful. I'm afraid Diigo would scare some people away. I'm still inclined to start with delicious and save Diigo for my more advanced users (of which I have very few).
-
Maybe overwhelming would describe my feelings.
-
However, I can defely think of quite a few people who would balk at it, too and favor the simplicity of Del.icio.us.
-
but most likely wouldn't participate in the social/sharing aspects they offer.
-
The nice thing about the Diigo toolbar is that you can select which buttons to see, so for those who might find the extra choices of tools overwhelming, it can at least be customized.
-
I'm feeling a Diigo obsession building. As soon as Explorer comes up I check to see if there are any messages in Diigo. How nice of them to put that number right on my toolbar!
-
I created my very first List last night,
-
Kristin Hokanson Liz I think it may be too much ially for the newbie and I will continue to send to delicious.
-
There is one feature that I REALLY like and that is that you can EMAIL something you are tagging so for folks who LIKE to get those sites emailed, you can still meet their needs without an extra step yourself
-
I second that. I like Diigo, but del.icio.us simplicity is so inviting.
-
The value of Diigo is that it brings a number of tools together allowing for multiple entry points. The old training model is show them a tool from start to finish that goes over every single detail. With Diigo, why show everything to those new to all this? It is rather easy to click into your bookmarks. From there, teachers have a space they can grow. It also provides a wonderful opportunity to differentiate with your teachers -- the whole multiple points of entry.
-
still I will have fun, exploring it and making effective use of it.
-
it is the ease of integration with blogging and twitter -- I annotated a page yesterday and pulled it directly into my blog. I can twitter bookmark that is important quickly -- AND I can use the tagging standards for the horizon project without having to remember the darn tags -- tag dictionaries are the most useful things to have been invented in a LONG time -- we need to set them up within one of our educational groups!
-
I don' t think I would not teach delicious. But perhaps starting with delicious and saving Diigo for later is a good idea.
-
I do find this site to be much more powerful and useful than delicious. I never really used delicious to its full potential. The fact that I am here just chatting with folks makes me want to stay and contribute to the collective knowledge.
-
We are conversing about the usefulness of diigo and I thought you might like to be included.
-
Maggie Tsai has invited Wade Ren to this conversation
-
Are you guys planning a Sunday get-together? If so, please advise the time - I'd love to join you and help answering any question.
-
Howdy! Wow, what can I say? Diigo is a lot more than delicious. If CoolCat Vicki hadn't written about Diigo again, I probably would have stuck with Delicious...and,if I hadn't been using Twitter, blogs, played around with Facebook, the social networking side of Diigo would have been just so much MORE to learn.
-
my concern would be to NOT limit learners in workshop sessions to the path I followed in learning these tools. Simply, folks, here is a tool that will grow as you grow and learn more about living and contributing in an interconnected world. The ability to have conversations like this, to annotate web pages, to share relevant quotes and tweet as needed...makes me wonder at the need for blogs at all.
-
A few folks are considering exploring Diigo on Sunday morning and having a conversation about it now...join in and learn with us!
-
This is a very honest, open discussion between educators about why diigo or delicious -- I think the fact we can have this conversation within diigo at all says a lot for the usefulness of the tool. Diigo is an emerging tool for social bookmarking and collective intelligence. -
This%20is%20an%20annotated%20discussion%20of%20our%20discussion%20here%20on%20Diigo.%20%20Look%20how%20deep%20the%20conversation%20can%20go%20now!%20%20WE%20can%20analyze%20ourselves%20and%20extract%20meaning.

An article about a new Firefox plug in called Ubiquity that is supposed to be particularly useful for people who have to translate quite a bit, but also adds custom programmability to ubiquity and your firefox web browser that allow you to close individual URLs, generate tiny urls, and all sorts of other things. WE'll see if this is the firefox plug in to end them all but I'll let you know. Meanwhile, if any of you have tested it, I'd love to hear from you.

significant changes in the creation of learning objects

-
a learning object is defined as any entity, digital or non-digital, that may be used for learning, education or training. IEEE
-
ork on metadata and learning object packaging
-
cohesion
-
ke any learning object and provide a 'wrapper' around this object
-
learning object is thus 'packaged' in a standard container format
-
learning objects must be developed with potential reuse, and especially repurposing in mind. The principal aim of this paper is to explore and delineate principles underlying authoring for reuse and repurposing.
-
taxonomy
-
This mapping suggests that each learning object should be based on one learning objective or clear learning goal.
-
The principle of cohesion, however, indicates that there should be a separate learning object for each type of loop. An immediate advantage is that the tutor can select the order in which these learning objects are combined. A tutor dealing with experienced student may wish to deal with these in sequence; another tutor with a different group of students may intersperse these learning objects with object dealing with other features of the language.
-
This would, then, make them easier to edit and manipulate in the future. I can follow this article.
-
-
the principle of 'de-coupling', or more accurately minimised coupling.
-
unit (software module/learning object) should have minimal bindings to other units.
-
independently of the other (
-
Right - and the goal is complete independence so as to be able to manipulate and change later.
-
-
The learning object should, as far as possible, be free standing.
-
YES! Can we please apply this to items as simple as Word documents and HTML? It would make things so much easier. This also reminds me of good pedagogical design principles BEFORE we had digital learning -- the same should be true for worksheets, handouts, textbooks, etc. It needs to be able to be changed.
-
-
adaptation
-
The challenge is to maintain this richness in a system composed of reusable components.
-
We must face the challenge of creating learning objects that are cohesive, decoupled and pedagogically rich. This design challenge is associated with the issue of 'repurposability' as we might expect rich learning objects to provide further options for adaptation by local tutors.
-
Yes, yes, and yes. We need to think beyond our own immediate purposes.
-
-
n the Java language
-
quite honestly, I would have preferred a non-computer programming example. These principles apply to all technology design, not just programming. Something more accessible would have made this paper stronger.
-
-
The project involves intervention in syllabus development, the social organisation of learning and the introduction of new eLearning materials. The eLearning resources are being based on the authoring of rich, reusable learning objects. This development provides the focus for the present discussion.
-
The learning objects are being developed both to meet immediate pedagogical needs and to serve this larger goal. This produces extra pressure initially. However, it provides the potential to divide the eventual task among a number of contributing partners, exploiting considerable advantages of scale.
-
A key challenge for the project is to resolve the tensions in a creative and productive way.
-
Basically, you have to take it all apart and put it back together again. This is fundamental to learning a new way to design anything, really.
-
-
A compound object consists of two or more independent learning objects that are linked to create the compound.
-
A further important feature is that each simple component object can be reused independently.
-
They thus provide a basis for pedagogical richness that fully exploits the opportunities offered by the technology.
-
-
manage the bindings between one object and others
-
they should be able to reconfigure this to shape their own compound object.
-
This is so crucial. Each educator must be able to restructure it, use to his/her advantage within context.
-
-
main types of binding: navigational bindings through URLs and non-URL based content bindings. This design pattern deals with the issue of URL based bindings.
-
we must have a design mechanism for managing these bindings.
-
learning object consists of a core and zero or more expansions. A default object is presented with the core with certain expansions added. These expansions aim to provide added pedagogical value to help in attaining the learning objective.
-
the relationship between learning objects and the syllabus, course or other higher organising structure in which they are delivered.
-
the syllabus navigation structure operates at a different layer of organisation for the learning object resources
-
. These syllabi objects operate at a different layer from that of main content objects
-
The key message is the need to establish distinct layers of organisation in eLearning
-
The central challenge is to design for reuse and repurposing.
-
painful reading with the example of Java - but the point remains that all learning objects should be managed and designed with the purpose of being able to use them in the future in ways that are dynamic and reusable. This means de-coupling them and ensuring they are made of distinct pedagogical units.

Drafts Updates with More Dropbox Actions, URL Actions, and Workflow Automation - 11 views

Drafts is a handy app for those who who use a variety of tools like Evernote and dropbox. For example, you can jot a note and click a button to send it to Twitter, Dropbox, Evernote and more -- (like if you want to save copies of certain tweets, etc. since it is so hard to get things out of Twitter.) I'm not entirely clear on the workflow automation piece of Drafts after watching this video on lifehacker but am going to learn more about this handy app.

How to link to a particular point in a YouTube video (Deep Links - YouTube Help) - 6 views
-
This is how you link to a specific starting point in a YouTube video. Basically, just add #t=XmYs to the end of the video URL. X is the number of minutes and Y is the seconds you want skipped when the video is viewed. -
Right after posting this, I realized there is now a Share option on the YouTube site that you can use to make this even easier. While viewing the YouTube video: 1) pause the video at the point where you want others to start watching, 2) click the Share button, 3) click options (directly under the link), 4) put a check in the Start at box, and finally 5) copy the link provided by YouTube. Note that you can also type in the start at time as minutes:seconds. The #t part of the link that makes the video start at the spot you specified is included in the link.

More and more people are throwing away their USB memory sticks (but probably just losing them down the back of the sofa) in favour of cloud storage. This is a wonderful storage site, download and multi-platform app which is very similar to Dropbox. A synced folder sits on you devices and can be updated and accessed from any device. You can generating a url to share folders or files with other people. It works just fine on a computer with Dropbox already installed and the free account gives you 15GB of storage. That's enough storage where 'tidy' filing schools might begin to migrate their school network storage to the cloud for free - and that's exciting. Additional storage is available for a price. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/ICT+%26+Web+Tools

Another software visualization tool. This one is from IBM. The URL is an odd one so you'll have to bookmark this. This is free and is listed as an "experiment". It looks like many educators are gravitating to the site as I've found some nice infographics for literature here as well. On the homepage you can scroll through some of the ideas. There are also some nice articles about how to create effective visualizations on this site that will give you ideas if you are using infographics in the classroom.
