StumbleUpon Finally Breaks Free From eBay - 1 views

  •  
    Now you can Stumble outside of the shadow of the mega-corporate overlords at eBay - two years after Stumble founders Garrett Camp and Geoff Smith cashed out and handed their baby over to the ecommerce giant, they've come back with a team of investors and bought StumbleUpon back from eBay. It's pretty exciting.

    I really liked this article, because it seems to honestly address the questions without purporting to know all the answers. A professor friend of mine has calculated the amount of paper he has saved by going to digital testing, and it's significant, but there are the obvious downsides of realizing that some students are able to test well due to quick searching ability rather than because they actually know the subject matter. Careful time limits on the testing may be one partial answer to the problem - if there isn't time to look everything up and still complete the test, at least there's some assurance that some of the answers came straight from the student's knowledge base, but it's not the only or even an ideal answer. Thanks for posting this thought-provoking piece.

    Bernadette, this was a riveting article! As a HS teacher in a school where students are "not allowed to have electronics during the school day" (I put this in quotes because the kids can perform tiny miracles on their phones without ever taking them out of their pockets--or looking at them!), we are constantly plagued with this question. Merri, I like your idea of presenting a timed test, where students have free access to the Internet. In making the transition from paper to digital, there are many sacrifices to be made--perhaps time is one of them? Thanks, ladies!

Social Music: Top 5 Music Recommendation Services - 1 views

  •  
    Finding great new music can be the most rewarding experience, but sometimes the effort that goes into music discovery often thwarts even the most determined of us. Pandora is great for listening to music online, but without having any foresight or direct say over upcoming tracks, it's certainly not the best there is if you're looking to achieve playlist perfection.

    Takes screen shot of a web page, including the links on that page, that can then be embedded on a web page. Good tool for creating more visual pathfinders/libguides, for example.

    Just learned about this tool via some of Buffy Hamilton's work.

From the Desk of David Pogue - Twittering Tips for Beginners - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • I found one rule, though, that answered a long-standing question I had about Twitter: "Don't tweet about what you're doing right now." Which is weird, since that's precisely how the typing box at Twitter.com is labeled: "What are you doing?"

      Since I am new to Twitter, I thought this was a good article, and intersting point to consider if we are looking to use Twitter for education settings.
