"Below you will find 50+ web tools you can use to create your own web-based story. They are grouped into categories of tool types, but you can also access a complete list of all tools. Each link points to a full entry on the tool that includes a description, links and embedded versions of the original Dominoe story, links to other stories created in the tool, and some more feedback that can help you decided if the tool might be of interest. People who join this wiki can contribute to the content on these pages (learn more...). Again, your mission is not to review or try every single one (that would be madness, I know), but pick one that sounds interesting and see if you can produce something. But before rummaging around the toolbox, have you done your prep work? Do you have your story idea or presentation concept outlined, developed? This should be on paper or in a document file or scribbled on the back of a napkin, but do not rely on making it up as you go! If not, go back 2 spaces and do this now. Next- do you have your media assets available, your images, video clips, audio files-- if not go find your media now."

"The purpose of this document is two-fold: - to offer an online history of the development of the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) - to use that history to describe major elements of a MOOC Each chapter of this guide looks at one of the first MOOCs and some early influences.

"Symbaloo for Classroom Curation One of the challenges of having online tech tools for your students is finding a way to manage them.  Do you use a tool that bookmarks them in one place, giving students easy access?  I've tried a number of curation tools, and always come back to Symbaloo.  Symbaloo allows you to set up a "web mix" of tiles, each tile linking to your favorite websites.  You can colorize the tiles, add short titles, and even a small image.  You can then post the link on your class's web page for all to access. "

"Livemocha is a social network service that supports language learning through audio-visual lessons and peer tutoring tools. Launched in September 2007, the platform has over 5 million registered members from over 200 countries. Lessons are provided for 36 different languages. While the standard lessons are freely accessible for registered users, the platform also offers "premium content" for a fee. Livemocha is more than just "Rosetta Stone on the Web." A unique selling point of the educational Web community is its collaborative approach to language learning: Members of the Livemocha community do not only learn a foreign language, they also tutor other community members in their native language. Users are encouraged to form learning tandems and offer feedback on their partner's speaking or writing exercises. The Livemocha platform supports this peer learning practice through comment features, voice recording and social awareness tools. For ETC Journal, I interviewed Clint Schmidt, Livemocha's Vice President of Marketing and Products. Clint has an impressive success record of developing marketing and product functions for a variety of high-growth Internet companies, including Half.com, eBay and ZoomIn.com, India's leading photo sharing and printing site. Clint holds a BSE in Entrepreneurial Management from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania."

"About Pipes Pipes is a powerful composition tool to aggregate, manipulate, and mashup content from around the web. Like Unix pipes, simple commands can be combined together to create output that meets your needs: - combine many feeds into one, then sort, filter and translate it.  - geocode your favorite feeds and browse the items on an interactive map. - power widgets/badges on your web site. - grab the output of any Pipes as RSS, JSON, KML, and other formats."

Strumento per la verifica dell'accessibilità delle pagine Web, con criteri più aggiornati - mi pare - di CynthiaSays, ad es. ARIA. Grazie a Mattia Lanzoni - https://www.diigo.com/user/Matzlanz - per la segnalazione. PS: Forse non c'entra direttamente con questo cMOOC #ltis13 - però i cMOOC usano tanti strumenti sociali di cui è necessario valutare l'accessibilità (anche di cosa si produce con essi) se poi li si vogliono ri-adoperare anche a scuola. E questi strumenti sociali presentano caratteristiche tecniche (di codice) che altre applicazioni più vecchie (?) di valutazione dell'accessibilità non prendono in conto.

Grazie Claude, utilissimo.Condivido e sottoscrivo quanto dici sui criteri di accessibilità.

"if the world's governments continue to insist that wiretapping capacity must be built into every computer; if the state of California continues to insist that cell phones have kill switches allowing remote instructions to be executed on your phone that you can't countermand or even know about; if the entertainment industry continues to insist that the general-purpose computer must be neutered so you can't use it to watch TV the wrong way; if the World Wide Web Consortium continues to infect the core standards of the web itself to allow remote control over your computer against your wishes-then we are in deep, deep trouble. The Internet isn't just the world's most perfect video-on-demand service. It's not simply a better way to get pornography. It's not merely a tool for planning terrorist attacks. Those are only use cases for the net; what the net is, is the nervous system of the 21st century. It's time we started acting like it."

"Story map templates Templates provide an easy way to publish your own story map (without having to write code). Each template uses a distinct story-telling technique. You supply the web map and the words. File downloads include the web files you will need, plus a readme file explaining configuration"

Un utile strumento per creare "piktocharts", sorta di poster per presentare idee, progetti, risultati

No, non ancora ma ne ho visti di bellissimi. La versione gratuita ha 8 template se non sbaglio, poi ce n'è una a pagamento per le scuole che ne ha molti di più. Mi riprometto di provare con quella gratuita. La cosa interessante è che per fare un buon piktochart bisogna avere ben chiaro il concetto che si vuole visualizzare, quindi porta a riflettere molto prima e non solo durante e dopo.

Grazie per la segnalazione! Proverò anch'io la versione demo
