shared by Per Hoel on 07 Dec 10 - No Cached
  • Web evolved into a powerful, ubiquitous tool because it was built on egalitarian principles and because thousands of individuals, universities and companies have worked, both independently and together as part of the World Wide Web Consortium, to expand its capabilities based on those principles
  • Wireless Internet providers are being tempted to slow traffic to sites with which they have not made deals.
  • We could lose the freedom to connect with whichever Web sites we want
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • ecause the Web is yours.
  • also vital to democracy
  • freedom from being snoope
  • on, filtered, censored and disconnected
  • We create the Web, by designing computer protocols and software; this process is completely under our control. We choose what properties we want it to have and not have. It is by no means finished (and it’s certainly not dead). If we want to track what government is doing, see what companies are doing, understand the true state of the planet, find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease, not to mention easily share our photos with our friends, we the public, the scientific community and the press must make sure the Web’s principles remain intact—not just to preserve what we have gained but to benefit from the great advances that are still to come

  • It’s the peculiar irony of storytelling that the more personal and specific a story is, the more universal its appeal. “Each man bears the entire form of man’s estate,”
  • Grounded, as our species is, in the tangible, sense-based world, we effortlessly grasp unique concrete details: a childish sketch of a castle, two beaming women in white gowns, a golden-brown blade of grass. By comparison, impersonal abstractions—dying children, gay marriage, environmental crisis—fail to gain traction on the slippery geography of human emotion, or register deeply in our memory.
  • The problem is, she frets (her Southern accent riveting every ear in the room), “I don’t have an interesting story.”
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • “We’re all about the process,” Lambert concedes. “Almost any creative process helps open one’s heart, but digital storytelling has a particularly useful combination of intelligences, an interdisciplinary creative form that allows any number of ways to get to people.” Sometimes, he says, a specific image, usually a photograph, resonates with emotional significance for the creator
  • “The point of coming to the workshop is not to make a film that will make you famous,” he says. “The vast majority of our films don’t even make it to the Web.”
  • What she means is that she imagines (wrongly, as it happens) that the notebooks of the other workshop participants must be bursting with tales of epic drama. What she means is that hers is an ordinary human life
  • “Film,” Lambert claims, “enslaves us”—and he’s not referring only to work that is morally flawed, but that crafted with the best of intentions. Even when a commercial venture addresses a social ill, he says, citing The Burning Bed (the 1984 movie featuring Farrah Fawcett Majors as a victim of domestic violence), it fails to represent the idiosyncratic experience of a person who does not merely play a difficult role (in this case, that of a battered wife), but lives it. Just as learning to read was “a step out of slavery,” Lambert says, so “making your own movies is a step away from being dominated.”

OER Open Educational Resources

    "Although the Open Education Resources (OER) movement began almost a decade ago, the Australian higher education sector seems to still be resisting this movement. This project aims to develop a "Feasibility Protocol" to enable and facilitate the adoption, use and management of OERs for learning and teaching within higher education (HE) institutions in Australia. This project will also explore how OERs will enhance teaching and learning, enable and widen participation for key social inclusion targets in higher education, promote lifelong learning and bridge the gap between non-formal, informal and formal learning in Australia. This is very important for the development of Australian education nationally and internationally because it will support educational institutions that are currently limited by the lack of guidance regarding OERs, speed up the process of appropriate adoption of OERs and provide additional venues for universities to pursue innovative strategies to better support current students, attract new ones and be internationally recognised and competitive."

  • I read on it, a lot. Instapaper is great for saving articles and blog posts for later reading. My iPad is also loaded with PDF's related to my teaching and research, which I often take notes on, using iAnnotate
  • Add a Bluetooth keyboard, and I have an incredibly lightweight writing machine with enough battery power to last me all day long. And to those critics who argue that you can't create media on the iPad, I suggest they spend some time with the new GarageBand app
  • traveling or doing any light work for school or work
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • reading news to keeping up with social networks to blogging to light photo-editing work and uploading (with Adobe Photoshop and Flickr), and, of course, media watching and casual game playing.
  • LogMeIn Ignition
  • read the things that I save to Read It Later
  • read longer scholarly articles using either iAnnotate or GoodReader
  • take it with me to all my meetings, where it works as a great tool for taking quick notes (using Plaintext, everything gets synced to Dropbox), checking relevant Web sites, or responding to Exchange-powered meeting invitations
  • small Bluetooth keyboard is simple and adds up to a viable laptop replacement
  • I can handle classroom management (tracking attendance and calculating student grades) using the "attendance" and "numbers" applications. I can update course blogs (I use WordPress) quickly and easily. I can also respond to student work by using Dropbox and iAnnotate. Then, with a simple e-mail program (Gmail, for instance), I am able to send graded work back to students.
  • convenient note-taking device
  • On the iPad, I use Evernote (though any of several text editors would work as well), and so my notes are not only more readable, but they are automatically synced anywhere I might need them. That's nice. The reading/media-consumption aspects of the iPad were not really a surprise, but they've certainly been delightful.
  • I use Pages and Google Docs a lot.
  • for reading RSS/Twitter feeds and Web browsing. When I head out, if I'm not up for carrying the laptop, the iPad usually makes the cut.
  • I have all my files accessible via Dropbox (over Wi-Fi) or a significant percentage of my PDF's synced to it via DevonThink To Go (but I usually read any files in GoodReade
  • iTeleport for controlling computers remotely (
  • Instapaper has all those Web articles I never got around to reading
