"Also called a capstone experience, senior exhibition, or senior project, among other terms, a capstone project is a multifaceted assignment that serves as a culminating academic and intellectual experience for students, typically during their final year of high school or middle school, or at the end of an academic program or learning-pathway experience. While similar in some ways to a college thesis, capstone projects may take a wide variety of forms, but most are long-term investigative projects that culminate in a final product, presentation, or performance. For example, students may be asked to select a topic, profession, or social problem that interests them, conduct research on the subject, maintain a portfolio of findings or results, create a final product demonstrating their learning acquisition or conclusions (a paper, short film, or multimedia presentation, for example), and give an oral presentation on the project to a panel of teachers, experts, and community members who collectively evaluate its quality."

"WHAT IS CIRCOS? CIRCULAR VISUALIZATION Circos is a software package for visualizing data and information. It visualizes data in a circular layout - this makes Circos ideal for exploring relationships between objects or positions. There are other reasons why a circular layout is advantageous, not the least being the fact that it is attractive. Circos is ideal for creating publication-quality infographics and illustrations with a high data-to-ink ratio, richly layered data and pleasant symmetries. You have fine control each element in the figure to tailor its focus points and detail to your audience."

Salman Khan talks about how and why he created the remarkable Khan Academy, a carefully structured series of educational videos offering complete curricula in math and, now, other subjects.

Salman Khan parla molto in fretta, purtroppo, ma la sua storia è molto interessante. La Khan Academy funziona veramente. Circa 200 video sono stati tradotti anche in italiano e hanno aiutato mia figlia a superare più di un ostacolo in matematica. Li consiglio senz'altro! Un aspetto molto interessante di questo video consiste nella chiarissima spiegazione di cosa sia la "flipped classroom".

Ciao, Fabrizio! Conosco Wikispaces e condivido il tuo entusiasmo. Ho aperto lo scorso anno quattro ambienti di studio in Wikispaces, uno per ognuna delle mie classi che, anche se in misura diversa, hanno reagito molto positivamente, collaborando ed aprendo nuove pagine su argomenti scolastici, ma anche relative ai loro interessi,. e mettendo a disposizione dei compagni materiali e manufatti virtuali. :) M. Antonella

Ciao Antonella piacere di saperlo! Ogni tanto mi sento come Don Chisciotte coi mulini a vento e fa piacere saper di non essere il solo matto del villaggio. Mi piacerebbe visitare le tue pagine, sono pubbliche? Io in effetti ho usato wikispaces fin ad ora a titolo personale http://limfab.wikispaces.com/ ,prima di passare più o meno tutto il materiale del wiki al sito web http://limfabweb.weebly.com/ (nella assurda illusione di completare qualcosa...) e appena potrò (famosa frase...) mi riprometto anche di ritornarci su. Come wiki per le classi ho usato invece Pbworks http://fabriziobartoliworkspace.pbworks.com/w/page/63273860/FrontPage, sopratutto l'anno passato, cercando di integrarlo con Google apps/drive che uso come piattaforma principale di condivisione. Ho incrociato qualche webinar su wikispaces classroom e così mi è venuta voglia di provare anche questo. Magari possiamo trovare il modo di usare qualche pagina insieme, con qualche classe, anche se all'atto non ho idea di cosa insegni (io insegno inglese scuola media)...

"If there is no signed written agreement, then the work isn't for hire, and you start out with all the rights. If there is a written agreement, it should be entered into before you create the work. Beware of after-the-fact attempts to take away your rights by calling the work "for hire," for example by sending you a check whose endorsement line says that your signature is your agreement that the work was for hire."
