An episode in a series of Digital Youth portraits from edutopia. Very interesting.In this case a 7th grader guides us through a typical day in her life -some other people speak as well, for example her mother.

"Here are few of the best screen recorders that will allow you to create videos and presentation from your activities and which are free to use" (¶1, 2010.04.13).

I'm not sure if all the items reviewed are as insensitive, but the CamStudio link merely takes the user to a PC download link without even asking concerning the system that the application will be running on. It is typical of Windows users to assume that the entire world (that they're interested in) uses PC computers. I have not tried it, but for Mac users, I have had IShowU (free program) recommended; Linux users probably also have some options that are available, and perhaps others can share what those not running PCs on Windows use for screen capture.

Summary This contribution presents and evaluates a new learning environment model based on Web 2.0 applications. We assume that the technological change introduced by Web 2.0 tools has also caused a cultural change in terms of dealing with types of communication, knowledge and learning. The answers given by eLearning scholars who intend to use the creative options offered by Web 2.0 in institutional learning are summarised in the first part of the paper. In this theoretical overview we introduce the concepts of eLearning 2.0 and Personal Learning Environments, along with their main aspects of autonomy, creativity and networking, and relate them to the didactics of constructivism and connectivism. The requirements and basic functional components for the development of our particular Web 2.0 learning environment are derived from these. The learning environment we present consists of several components (modules) that are well-known Web 2.0 applications such as wikis, weblogs, social bookmarking services and RSS feeds. The section describing the implementation of the environment in a use case at the Darmstadt University of Applied Science focuses on the specific didactic contribution the particular learning modules render towards the entire learning arrangement. The article explains the didactic potential of the wiki platform in more detail, since it serves as the integrating module (or learning centre) of the learning arrangement. Our learning environment was tested and evaluated during the "Social Software" seminar held in the information science study course at Darmstadt University of Applied Science in 2007/08. A questionnaire-based survey reveals interesting facts regarding the success of the practical implementation of the Web 2.0 arrangement with respect to the motivation and learning outcome of students. The survey was supplemented with some non-formalized feedback in a concluding discussion. With these results in mind this paper finally provides some remark
