[Infographic] The Social Media ROI Solar System - 1 views

  •  
    You could say there's a universe of ways people measure the ROI from their social media marketing. Some of the more popular methods, like counting Facebook "likes" and re-tweets, have very little meaning to the CFO, while other newly developed formulas around engagement can be, well, rather creative.

SurveyMonkey: Free online survey software & questionnaire tool - 2 views

  •  
    Of course, this ridiculously easy to use free survey tool, which many are already familiar with, could be used to vote as well. I have used this on class projects and it just doesn't get any simplier. A must. Create and publish online surveys in minutes, and view results graphically and in real time. SurveyMonkey provides free online questionnaire and survey software.

    Just an FYI - all FSU students can use Qualtrics for surveys. FSU pays for it. Located under secure apps in Bb.
  •  
    I've used Survey Monkey several times for projects. I feel that that basic version (free) is limited. I prefer to use the survey generator that Vanessa is referring to. Thanks for sharing.
  •  
    What about Google Form? I never created any survey with SurveyMonkey, but worked with Google Form with my students, I always had a positive experience.
  •  
    I've used both, numerous times, and I have to say I think Qualtrics is a much better product with greater functionality. :)

Download Color Detector 2.0 Free - Point mouse cursor anywhere on the screen, to obtain... - 1 views

  •  
    Not Web 2.0, but a cool tool to have when you want to design presentations. I have used this numerous times when I want to match a color on a website (e.g. FSU) and put the same color in my presentation. When you get the RGB or hex value, you just go to Custom color and input data, and bingo!! Download Color Detector - Point mouse cursor anywhere on the screen, to obtain RGB, & hex code of pixel

    Alyn, Cool tool! Is this a web 2.0 tool?
  •  
    No, its just a handy tool that I think would help all of us designers. For years I used to struggle trying to guess what color comes closet to FSU's Garnet and Gold. Then all of a sudden, one day earlier this year, I googled "how to detect a color" and bingo, this came up. Been using it ever since. Glad you like it.
  •  
    Hi Alyn, I frequently have to develop artwork, etc and match colors. It is a challenge to get the right colors from Microsoft program colors to match Adobe program color pallets without wasting a lot of time. The results when printing can be drastically different. So this tool looked very appealing to me and I attempted to download. However, my McAfee automatically removed the download with a message that it contained a Trojan virus. Have you had any problems?

calibre - E-book management - 2 views

    calibre: The one stop solution for all your e-book needs. Comprehensive e-book software.
  •  
    Thanks for sharing this tool! One of my biggest frustrations with e-books is the lack of compatibility with different readers. I would also like to find a better way to "share" a good e-book with friends and colleagues (like a hardcopy book) without having time limitations or additional fees for another download. Any suggestions that work and stay within fair use of copyrighted materials?

    I was lucky enough to Skype with Rey Junco last December after I e-mailed him about an article of his I love. Very friendly!
  •  
    Good on you for just contacting him! I've yet to meet him, but have (obv.) read his work.
  •  
    Cool Blog! Thanks for sharing. I wonder why the above link says to his blog says 0 views, I clicked on it and went to the site, so that should be at least one view! I am also assuming Abigail clicked on the link too, although she may be already ready following the blog since she already a fan of him!

    I had to share because I know my daughter will love this when she is a bit older. You can draw, create a store, make a movie, color a picture, and much more. You can share your creation through Facebook, MySpace etc.

    Hi Alyn! You must have been in Dr. Dennen's Web 2.0 class! Great to see you. I know ths is a slow response, but our organization has looked at Articulate. I have no experience with it, but it sounds like an awesome course developer tool... I hope you are doing great!
  •  
    Hi Alyn, Articulate is a fantastic product. I have used Articulate Studio for several years now and find the interface easy, the output quality very good, and the on demand learning features such as tutorials and group blogs exceptional. The product is also very affordable. You don't need to know flash or html to be able to use Articulate. It works as an add-in to PowerPoint, but you can also encode video, create interactive learning components and develop quizzes within the software. In addition to being able to develop content, you can publish it to an LMS or Articulate has their own e-learning hosting service for those who don't need to full scope of an LMS. Articulate Storyline is a new product that has tempted me. It works outside the PowerPoint environment and allows the creation of standalone online instructional content with many different types of interactive objects. Storyline takes the Studio I have been using up a notch. While I have no experience with Storyline, I would recommend you at least try the free trial they offer. Based on my previous experience with Articulate Studio, I think you will be very pleased with the product.

The Daily Dot - What's a Facebook shadow profile, and should you be worried about it? - 0 views

  •  
    Makes you wonder if we really should be using Facebook in education. I've no problem with folks choosing to use it, but if classes pressure students into using it? That can be a real problem.
  •  
    This does pose a problem because even if you were to use it in education (but not forcing everyone to use it) Facebook could still collect data from non-users by other students in the class who are connected to Facebook, use the find friends feature, and have non-Facebook using student's information in their smart phones. I would like to know more about why Facebook collects this data of non-users, what purpose does it serve them? It also made me realize how Facebook can get my personal information when I post my new address to a friends wall, or share a new cell phone number. I may not have manually uploaded the information on the Facebook account, but writing it on my friends wall may be all the information Facebook needs from me.
  •  
    This does pose a problem, especially for users like me that are infrequent with posts. I feel like I should be in there everyday "watching" for some weird activity. But I just don't have that kind of time. I am a smart phone user of all of 2 months now and already I have deleted my facebook app from my phone. I am certain I never opted to remain signed in, yet somehow I was. Then, while searching for a phone number in my contacts, I realized that the FB app had attached itself to all of my phone contacts. Too invasive. I like the idea of sharing information over platforms like Collaborate. There is a little more oversight and transparency.

    I love this tool. Great for teachers!
  •  
    Looks easy to use. Does this offer anything different than other polls/survey tools out there?
  •  
    I think the basic "free" features allow you just to poll one survey question at a time. What's really cool about it is that students can text their answers in. I am not familiar with it, but it is a great way to generate discussion within a classroom, blog, or website.

    Thanks Dana!
