"Your payment to Ning was declined - First Notice : My point is it will always decline * Posted by Badan Barman on August 23, 2010 at 1:02am in Plans and Pricing * View Discussions Just one minute before, I received this message. Its frustrating. If not hundred, I request several time to Ning to come forward to make the payment successfully. I open help ticket, I post in forum, (CHARGE MY VISA CARD FOR THE IMMEDIATE PAYMENT, I Need Personal Assistant from Ning to Make the Payment Successfully) I personally wrote to Ning employee through email (Eric Suesz), i post as scrap. Still why you are charging my card after 23 hours of validity. You will absolutely get nothing after 23 hours from my card. Hey Ning can you please let me know exactly at what time of tomorrow you will again charge my card.So that I can enter the details of a fresh card just before you charge the card for payment?"

"In March 2009 Tony Hirst posted a solution for Twitter Powered Subtitles for Conference Audio/Videos on Youtube. A year and a half later, numerous evenings tweaking code, lots of support, advice and promotion from Tony, Brian Kelly and others, and we have come full circle. What began for me as a method to playback real-time tweets with the BBC iPlayer has returned to its origins, Twitter powered subtitles for a conference video on YouTube."

"How Can I Organize My RSS Feeds So They're More Manageable?"  I subscribe to a lot of newsfeeds, which makes me feel like I'm on top of everything on the internet-except now I'm feeling overwhelmed with all the folders and hundreds of feeds and constant flood of posts in my newsreader. I still want access to all the news and information, but what can I do to better organize it so I stay sane?

Trovato perché mi ha seguita su Twitter. Troppo bello per essere onesto? Però se il prodotto deve funzionare su tutte quelle piattaforme, questo dovrebbe comportare una benvenuta semplificazione della struttura, no? La quale dovrebbe facilitare l'accessibilità? Ci proverò.

Mm però il tutorial YT fa proprio schifo, nello stile "ti mostro ma non dico niente così [non] funziona in tutte le lingue", con musichetta del cavolo.

"is a great service for reading your favorite RSS feeds on your iPad, Android device, or in your web browser. Feedly will import all of your Google Reader subscriptions for you with just one click. I enjoy using the visual layout of Feedly which I feel enables me to browse through my RSS subscriptions more efficiently than if they were just in a list like in Google Reader. I also find it very easy to share from Feedly to Google+, Evernote, Twitter, and many other services. "

by Shara Tibken - January 30, 2014 11:10 AM PST "Things are about to get tougher for Apple. Google late Wednesday made an unexpected announcement that it's selling Motorola Mobility to Chinese PC giant Lenovo for $2.91 billion, or less than a quarter of what it paid for the handset vendor just a couple of years ago. During the years Google owned it, Motorola lost money and market share, and the relationship caused tension between Google and the other Android vendors, particularly Samsung. It also led those other phone makers to develop their own software and services, rather than push those from Google. That amplified Android's fragmentation in the market. Overall, Google's purchase of Motorola turned out much better for iPhone maker Apple than for Google. That's now going to change. Google, sans Motorola, can go back to focusing on what it does best -- making a really great operating system and apps. It can mend its relationship with Android leader Samsung and the other vendors. And it can concentrate on unifying and streamlining the Android experience, rather than worry about bolstering its own hardware operations. All of those factors mean that Apple may not be able to win over customers as easily as it has in the past.

"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."

"Videogames are one of the fastest trending topics in media, education, and technology. Research across fields as disparate as science, literacy, history, visual processing, curriculum, and computer science suggests that videogames aren't just fun - they can actually be good for your mind as well. In this course, we will discuss current research on the kinds of thinking and learning that goes into videogames and gaming culture. We'll investigate the intellectual side of digital gameplay, covering topics that range from perception and attention in Left 4 Dead 2 to the development of historical understanding in Civilization to collaborative learning in massively multiplayer online games like World of Warcraft. Throughout the course, we examine the inherent tensions between contemporary youth culture and traditional education and new developments in games for learning that promise to help bridge that growing divide."

La mia recenzione di questo "helpout sugli helpout": "Ronnie was very patient and gave very clear answers. As to whether people from other countries than Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, U.K., and the U.S. (see https://support.google.com/helpouts/answer/3164468?hl=en&ref_topic=14126 ) would be allowed to offer helpouts in future, he said this is planned. As to the difference between helpouts and hangouts, he explained that though helpouts are using the hangout platform, they are a different service. And when asked if helpout participants can use the live captioning app that can be used in hangouts (see https://hangout-captions.appspot.com/ ), he said no. When I asked why the "Introducing Helpouts by Google" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-VFC9AQM1k video is uncaptioned, and the video embedded in the "Find out what it's like to get a Helpout!" https://helpouts.google.com/111421743141645456280/ls/b41c1faef6b76d0f page is not only uncaptioned, but also uncaptionable via e.g. streaming it to amara.org, because if you try to open it on youtube, you get to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=picasacid , which says: "An error occurred during validation. This video does not exist. Sorry about that." he candidly said he couldn't answer and suggested using the feedback, which I'm doing. Same reply when I asked if Google planned to caption these videos. Sure, I would have preferred to get more hopeful answers to the questions about accessibility, but it was great to get candid ones, which can now be reported to the discussion lists of the Collaborative for Communication Access via Captioning - http://ccacaptioning.org/ . " No, è vero, Ronnie è stato bravissimo. Chissà quanti helpout si sarà sorbito quel giorno, e paffete arriva una che comincia a rompergli le scatole e il nuovo giocatolo Google, portandolo a riconoscere implicitamente che insomma, meglio gli hangout veri e propri..

"The Ultimate Guide to Leaving Comments On Blogs"

Come ci si deve comportare quando si commenta un blog altrui? Come si "costruisce valore", guadagnando lettori (eterna preoccupazione degli statunitensi)? Al di là dello stereotipo e dei suggerimenti scontati, qui si trova anche pane per i ragazzi che devono imparare a stare in rete (cittadinanza digitale)

"By Liana Heitin (...) In a growing number of K-12 schools, the use of 1-to-1 computing devices-including iPads, laptops, and Chromebooks-is becoming a central part of instruction. For teachers making the digital leap, one of the greatest hurdles can be figuring out how to manage the tech-infused classroom. How do you keep kids, who suddenly have the Internet at their fingertips, on task? How do you ensure the devices are safe and well-maintained? And how do you compete with your most tech-savvy students? (...)"I think this is the new frontier frankly with classroom management. We've never confronted this," said Kyle Redford, a 5th grade teacher at Marin Country Day School in Corte Madera, Calif. "

Suggerimenti interessanti su come assicurarsi che gli allievi facciano quel che devono fare in classe con aggeggi web-connessi anziché lasciarsi trascinare da altre cose. Ma si tratta proprio di una "nuova frontiera" per gli insegnanti? In tempi pre-web, era lo stesso quando mandavi gli allievi a far ricerca in biblioteca, o gli facevi fare lavoro di gruppo sul prato della scuola, no?

Aggiungo solo questo: che se si va a scuola per lavorare in modalità 1-to-1, tanto valeva restarsene a casa, no? Va bene per brevi periodi di tempo e per scopi precisi, ma altrimenti la scuola è preziosa per comunicare con l'insegnante o lavorare a coppie o in gruppo. Socializzare e costruire la comunità, insomma.

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)...

Bello! Poi dal link in "Translate the Web Literacy Standard into your language. Get involved! " in calce, si arriva in qualche click https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/webmaker/viewstrings/#it/weblit/18157959 , che sarebbe la sottopagina della traduzione collaborativa di Web Literacy Standard in italiano: che di per sé è completa, ma non appare nella lista delle lingue di "Web Literacy Standard", presumibilmente perché aspettano che sia completa la traduzione di tutte le parti di Webmaker. Però intanto, se non si capisce qualcosa in questa parte, si può già utilizzare questa sottopagina Transifex, che ha pure il motore di ricerca.
