Why blog? « The Daily Post - 0 views

  • So why use a blog? I suggested at the beginning of this post that a blog is basically a publishing platform. As I have been preparing it I have become more aware of the variety of ways in which I have used them, and I am also aware that there are many facilities offered by blog platforms, commonly used by others, that I have not even tried using yet. So let’s rephrase the question: Why use a publishing platform? Why use a platform that can enable you to write what you like, when you like, how you like, to whom you like? That you can edit and re-edit at will, as often as you like? That you can use to publish to a select group or to the whole world?  Where you can display your own or others’ text, documents, images, audioclips, videos, slideshows, charts, maps and Google Street View tours? That you can link from to anything on the big wide web? That you can organise and style in a variety of ways? That you can tag so that others can find it? That others can post comments to? That your students can use in as many or as few of these ways as you, or they, see fit? Or your Granny, likewise? Why, indeed?

How do you manage your information? - 0 views

  • Managing resources is one of the most important skills for students (people!) to master. I started blogging in 2000 and have spent a significant amount of time trying to devise an information management system that I can use to make sense of a topic or discipline. I've attached an image below that highlights the process and tools that I use.
  • This system has a few weaknesses
  • 1. It fails to account for trend development and dissipation
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • 2. Too many aspects of my sensemaking system are manua
  • Information is not something that has value in itself. We use it to do something
  • What tools do you use? Eric von Stackelberg Profile Edit profile icon Following Followers Market Posts Poll Pages Blog Files Photo Albums I have moved to fewer tools with the intention of increasing the depth of data held in those tools while reducing duplication.

Whither the Wikis? - Inside Higher Ed - 0 views

  • higher education’s relationship with wikis — Web sites that allow users to collectively create and edit content — has been somewhat hot-and-cold
  • tolerance, even appreciation, of Wikipedia as a useful starting point for research
  • using wikis to pool human knowledge of various topics into single, authoritative accounts falls into the “not” category
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • professoriate is too entrenched in traditional publishing
  • one of two things to happen before wikis can take hold in scholarship
  • “Either senior, post-promotion faculty will need to lead some successful wiki-based projects, or there will need to be an overhaul in the way we think about publication.”
  • highlight individual voices
  • open peer-review — another concept that has struggled to get traction.
  • blogs as a new-media invention that satisfies the scholarly desire for attribution
  • Scholarpedia, meanwhile, only lets selected experts play in its virtual sandboxes, making it more like a traditional journal or encyclopedia than a true wiki
  • Discipline-specific wikis might have an easier time building a community
  • A wiki might also garner more use if it focuses on a relatively young discipline
  • The greatest contributions wikis have made to academic research can be found not in actual wikis but in collaborative tools built on a similar model,
  • “Whether it’s the idea of user-generated content, or inviting many eyes onto a project (e.g., CommentPress), or, tools that facilitate collaboration, such as Google Docs or Zoho Office, wiki-like ideas are increasingly important to the scholarly community.”
  • the areas where they have gotten the most play in higher education seems to be in classrooms and various administrative apparatuses
  • wikis have become popular vehicles for class exercises

5 Google Buzz Tips for the Advanced User - 2 views

  • 2. Hide Your Buzz Contact List from Prying Eyes
  • This isn't all that different from FriendFeed expect for one important fact: on FriendFeed you picked and chose who your friends were, but your Buzz contacts are added for you automatically based on who you email the most. If that's not information you want to share, here's how to turn it off:
  • Sign into your Google account via Gmail (or any other Google service) Go to your Google profile here: http://google.com/profiles/me Click the link at the top-right of the screen that reads "Edit Profile" Here, you'll see a checkbox that reads "Display the list of people I'm following and people following me." To make this info private, just uncheck that box. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "Save changes" button

Heim Binas Fiction: Wordle. - 0 views

  • a concordance as presented by a word cloud gives greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text
  • word clouds to find unexpected language
  • a suggestion for beginning writers that uses this program. Wordle your work-in-progress, then look at it. Is it what you expected? Are the names of some characters HUGE, when in fact you didn't think they got that much time on the page? Do you use fiction's "meaningless words" too often: apparently, very, or really? Or perhaps some good news... a theme of your book appears to you, written but unnoticed until now. It's suprisingly cool how much this reveals about your use of language.
