Google Buzz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • Google Buzz is a social networking and messaging tool from Google that is integrated into the company's web-based email program, Gmail.[1][2] Users can share links, photos, videos, status messages and comments organized in "conversations" and visible in the user's inbox.[3]
  • Buzz enables users to choose to share publicly with the world or privately to a group of friends each time they post.[4] Picasa, Flickr, Google Reader, YouTube, Blogger, FriendFeed, identi.ca and Twitter are currently integrated. The creation of Buzz was seen by industry analysts as an attempt by Google to compete with social networking websites like Facebook and microblogging services like Twitter.

ExploraVision - 0 views

  •  
    School competitions now center around online websites, they used to just be on paper! What a difference to get to see what kids suggest, it means that their influence is felt far beyond the classroom and can even influence the scientists who view their work.
  •  
    Contest to encourage student to create a vision of the future of technology. This site shows the inventions and the awards. This is a neat competition and you might want to plug in your math and science program, particularly the gifted program. Competitions help your top students reach higher and are a very important part of gifted programs (and others too!)

White House opens website programming to public - 2 views

  • The online-savvy administration on Saturday switched to open-source code for http://www.whitehouse.gov - meaning the programming language is written in public view, available for public use and able for people to edit.
  •  
    The whitehouse.gov will look the same to most people except that what is behind it is part of the open source movement with the whitehouse code - now powered by Drupal -- is open source. For educators, if you've found administrators objecting to the open source movement, maybe you should consider using the white house as an example.
  •  
    Open source sofware, like that used by drupal, is being used by many more organizations and gaining acceptance in governments now, like the USA with the white house.

      Make sure that you justify how skype is part of workflow software. Also, you may want to pull out how the new skype lets you screenshare and record a movie of that and has all these productivity add ins to help workflow go.

      This should be written like a wikipedia article in 3rd person so you'll want to rewrite this - also the current news section needs quite a few hyperlinks. How about all of the Google Docs and google type things that let you compute in "the cloud" -- also, things like timebridge let work flow around the world. Look at other things that help people work together like Elluminate, for example.

      Not sure I understand this- but I will give you some examples here - how about SIS (student information systems) like SASSY and Powerschool that let teachers and administrators look at information from home or school and also let work flow from one person to another.

Examples of workflow software here including the article I posted to the Flat Classroom group that show that the White house has gone "open source" with the whitehouse.gov website, using something called Drupal.

  • Workflow software can be used many ways for a government as well as politics and employment. Working as a group simultaneously is very important to fulfill some kind of difficult work, like administrating works such as Microsoft Sharepoint . Since the work that big companies do is very complicated and intertwined over and over with the part that do not really seem to be related that much, workflow software is almost mandatory to practice.

  • A cell phone is a example of mobile and ubiquitous computing. A cell phone is mobile because it is able to be moved from one place to another. A cell phone is also ubiquitous because two people are able to communicate from different places by calling one another as well as SMS and video messaging. Lastly, a cell phone is classified as a computing device because it accepts input, processes that input into data that the cell phone can read, and produces output as information that a human can read.
  • Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing can be broken down into three separate words that can come together to make one topic. First, mobile means able to be moved. There are many technological mobile devices. There are cell phones, Ipods, portable DVD players, PDAs, laptops, and many other devices that can be moved or transported from one place to another. Second, ubiquitous means being present everywhere at once. Having the ability to stream live from a camera or cell phone to a website over the Internet makes that particular video ubiquitous.

    "The second steroid involves instant messaging and file sharing. Being able to share files from peer to peer is considered ubiquitous because the files can be everywhere and mobile because the files can be moved. Instant messaging is a huge breakthrough in the technological world. People can send instant messaging via cell phone, computer , PDA. This steroid revolutionized communication."

Nonprofit organizations' use of the internet: A content analysis of communication trend... - 0 views

  •  
    "To evaluate the current status of communication and fundraising strategies on the Internet, a stratified random sample of the Chronicle of Philanthropy's Philanthropy 400 was content-analyzed in mid-January 2005. Web sites were coded on variables identified in practitioner and scholarly literature on issues of accountability, fundraising practices, and interactive communication strategies. Chi-square analysis found that the top nonprofit organizations included copies of their annual reports, organizational goals, and mission statements, while second-tier organizations were more likely to use a sales approach by using e-commerce technology and terminology to process online donations."
