"I finally found the video I have been searching for, for a long time. I have mentioned several times the electronic tablet as a precursor of the tablet. The video is of 1994 and has been produced by the research department of the American newspaper company Knight Ridder, which was lead by Roger Fidler. I had the pleasure of meeting him in 1995 in Amsterdam, where he showed the video and the prototype of the electronic newspaper on Berlin format."

"Hi, Today we made some changes at Ning. I want to share with you the email Jason Rosenthal, our CEO, sent to all Ning employees: Team, When I became CEO 30 days ago, I told you I would take a hard look at our business. This process has brought real clarity to what's working, what's not, and what we need to do now to make Ning a big success. My main conclusion is that we need to double down on our premium services business. Our Premium Ning Networks like Friends or Enemies, Linkin Park, Shred or Die, Pickens Plan, and tens of thousands of others both drive 75% of our monthly US traffic, and those Network Creators need and will pay for many more services and features from us. So, we are going to change our strategy to devote 100% of our resources to building the winning product to capture this big opportunity. We will phase out our free service. Existing free networks will have the opportunity to either convert to paying for premium services, or transition off of Ning. We will judge ourselves by our ability to enable and power Premium Ning Networks at huge scale. And all of our product development capability will be devoted to making paying Network Creators extremely happy. As a consequence of this change, I have also made the very tough decision to reduce the size of our team from 167 people to 98 people. As hard as this is to do, I am confident that this is the right decision for our company, our business, and our customers. Marc and I will work diligently with everyone affected by this to help them find great opportunities at other companies. I've never seen a more talented and devoted team, and it has been my privilege to get to know and work with each and every one of you over the last 18 months. We'll use today to say goodbye to our friends and teammates who will be leaving the company. Tomorrow, I will take you through, in detail, our plans for the next three months and our new focus. Thanks, Jason Rosenthal I know many of you will have que

"At my place of employment Diigo is blocked through our server under the social network category. I have administrator rights and can override the block for a set time period, eg 30 minutes. Diigo opens and I am able to surf from my bookmarks satisfactorily. However, there is no way I can add new bookmarks to my Diigo account, using a "Post To Diigo" bookmark in Internet Explorer, or the "Add+" button at the top of "My Items" in "my library" view. Somewhere, somehow our server is preventing this to happen. Needless to say I am disappointed. The work around is to email my new urls to my home address and then ad them to Diigo once I return home."

Fantastica serie di 16 video YT su tutti i problemi che possono crearsi con la Flipped class. Considerate il primo titolo: "E se i miei studenti non guardano i video?" In inglese.

Interessante ... però questi filoneisti dovrebbero controllare se non stiano reinventando l'ombrello. Vedi http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/cyberone/wiki/Weeks_Pages . Questa pagina del wiki del corso Cyberone - Law in the Court of Public Opinion (autunno 2006) di Charles e Rebecca Nesson a Harvard elenca le sottopagine di approfondimento per ogni settimana del corso: ciascuna delle quali comprende una sezione di appunti sui video. CyberOne 2006 non era né un "MOOC" né una "flipped class" perché allora quei termini non c'erano (e il famigerato numero di TIME sul Web 2.0, con "The Person of the Year is... [pezzo di plastica riflettente] You" in copertina, è arrivato solo qualche mese dopo, a dicembre 2006). Era un corso con risorse online condivise e tre categorie di studenti: quelli che seguivano le lezioni ed esercitazioni in aula al Berkman Center, gli "Extension students" cioè iscritti alla formula "a distanza" del corso, e gli "At Large students", che potevano partecipare a una lista di discussione, ad attività in Second Life e anche a quel wiki (non ho idea di quanti At Large students fossimo, ma è stata una grande esperienza) Altra cosa: nel autunno 2006 non c'erano nemmeno strumenti online per una facile annotazione collaborativa dei video: Mojiti (poi rapidamente scomparso) è di dicembre 2006, DotSUB - web app di sottotitolazione, quindi dirottabile per prendere appunti anziché sottotitolare - del 2007. E Universal Subtitles (adesso Amara), ancora più comoda per questo tipo di dirottamento, è del 2010. Però oggi DotSUB e Amara ci sono. Allora non si dovrebbe parlare di annotazione collaborativa di video senza menzionarle, e soprattutto senza menzionare nemmeno la possibilità ancora più vecchia di adoperare un wiki per queste annotazioni collaborativa.

"Shortly after its foundation in the 9th century, the Benedictine abbey of Vézelay acquired the relics of St Mary Magdalene and since then it has been an important place of pilgrimage. St Bernard preached the Second Crusade there in 1146 and Richard the Lion-Hearted and Philip II Augustus met there to leave for the Third Crusade in 1190. With its sculpted capitals and portal, the Madeleine of Vézelay - a 12th-century monastic church - is a masterpiece of Burgundian Romanesque art and architecture.\nhttp://whc.unesco.org/en/list/84/"

Veramente, aggiungo questo link per vedere se l'Unesco ha anche disabilitato l'embed per i suoi video su opere/luoghi del suo Patrimonio Mondiale dell'umanità. Ecco l'embed: Aggiornamento post posting: Eh già: è bloccato anche per questo video. Chissà quanti siti / blog educativi che avevano inserito questi video sul patrimonio mondiale dell'Unesco si ritrovano con player neri e la richiesta di andare a vedere il video su YouTube...
