    List for special instances and deals with copyright issues as well.: "I'd lay odds that most people, including myself, just use Google Image Search when they need to find an image. However, there might be instances when you want to use another tool - perhaps you're a language teacher searching for just the right clip art or photography to illustrate a verb, maybe you have very young students and are concerned about what they might find on Google, possibly you're particularly teaching about copyright issues, or you want your students to easily connect an image to a writing exercise and have them send an E-Card."

    "Drawing and recording your voice is not an easy task. What I've discovered is that once you start drawing, and your focus shifts to the image, there are few barriers to speaking. "The tool I'd like to share today is EDUCREATIONS (http://www.educreastions.com). I haven't explored it to its full potential but what I've seen so far is good enough. The free tool allows you use your mouse or your finger (ipad) to draw stick figures while you record your voice. You can also upload an image and draw and record your voice at the same time. Once finished, look at the right side below the twitter and facebook buttons for the URL and the embed code which allows you publish the recording."

The Hidden Center of the "Gutenberg Galaxy" - 0 views

  • McLuhan and the Gutenberg Galaxy
  • What if the social changes that result from these technologies are intended , rather than unintended
  • Marshall McLuhan wrote a good deal about the "Gutenberg Galaxy" - the 'constellation' of changes wrought on European society after the German of that name figured out how to turn a winepress into a holder for movable type - in other words, a printing press - in the 15th century.
  • ...33 more annotations...
  • changes in the political, religious, and social landscape.
  • Gutenberg's press also made possible the Protestant Reformation - because, as Martin Luther came to realize, the wide translation and printing of the Bible meant "every man be a priest."
  • It's certainly hard to see how any of the changes which followed
  • could have occurred without the widespread literacy and education that the printing press made possible
  • what is now happening to our society in our second "Gutenberg revolution" - namely, the rise of electronic media
  • But what if there were a hidden center to the "Gutenberg Galaxy?"
  • fostering our current phase of technological change
  • cultural determinism of technology
  • And then, the Renaissance
  • The Dawn of Writing
  • obvious changes made possible by writing
  • technology of writing was ascribed to some mythic "culture-bringer" - Ogham, Thoth, Quetzelcoatl, etc
  • Most people are not aware, however, what writing had undone.
  • writing may have destroyed man's own prodigious mnemonic talents
  • Art of Memory also involved using tools and images
  • earlier technological revolution - one that occurred perhaps five millenia ago - the birth of writing
  • The spoken word is intimate
  • writing is impersonal, does not carry emotional intonations
  • The written word makes possible the autonomous survival of knowledge - with an oral tradition, it disappears when the oralists have all been killed
  • throughout the great breadth of the Dark and Middle Ages, literacy was not very widespread.
  • Was the printing press purely serendipitous? It does seem to have arrived at the right place at the right time.
  • mysterious traditions of the printers' and papermillers' guilds
  • heretical content of many of these watermarks
  • Bayley suggests it was Huguenot refugees that brought papermaking and the printing art into England
  • "Gutenberg revolution" as quite a Gnostic coup - destroying the literacy monopoly of both the Catholic Church and the feudal state
  • Today, the Arrival of the Electronic Word
  • any people are openly saying it: print is dead, the era of the printed word and the book is fading, and thus a new kind of literacy - "teleliteracy," ("the grammatology of video,") the reading of the moving image and multimedia barrage before us - is being propagated
  • death of civilization itself, since in their eyes we seem to be leaving the printed text behind and returning to the moving image or fetish
  • immediacy, presence, and participation lost through writing and print
  • whether some of the changes electronic media will bring were not intended,
  • would not think for you, but would help you think better and function as a "Knowledge (gnosis? ) Machine."
  • hypertext meant that the world's knowledge could be seamlessly woven together, much like the integrated unified system of knowledge imagined by the mystic Ramon Lull.
  • could be used to facilitate "Community memory" and community activism. It meant access to information

  • what is needed is something more closely approximating fluency in another language: the language of digital environments.
  • ess useful to know one program very well and more useful to achieve a level of comfort navigating digital tools for oneself.
  • 1. Think of your computer less as the place where all your data lives and more as the thing that gives you access to your data.
  • ...18 more annotations...
  • one program: Evernote
  • Off-site storage is more secure in the long run,
  • you need a backup routine
  • online access to your backed-up files means you have nearly universal access to your work.
  • 2. Let your computer (do some of the) work for you; metadata is your friend.
  • Tag everything.
  • hink of tags less as categories or folders and more as the code words in your own personal index.
  • Documents, images, pdfs, articles, notes can all have as many tags as you want. And items in separate folders can be tagged with the same word or phrase.
  • Use tags to describe an article in a way the author might not.
  • Clip articles to read later using Evernote;
  • install the Evernote clip tools {Chrome and Firefox extensions}
  • Use EndNote or Zotero to quickly grab citation information
  • 3. Learn to search, not just organize.
  • Evernote and Google Docs perform OCR by default
  • , which yields searchable text from what was just an image file. 
  • at some point, you forget what you have written or what notes you have taken
  • Evernote is essentially an easy-to-use personal database,
  • 4. Let these techniques and habits help you find patterns that you would not otherwise see.

  • The Multiliteracy Project is a national Canadian study exploring pedagogies or teaching practices that prepare children for the literacy challenges of our globalized, networked, culturally diverse world. Increasingly, we encounter knowledge in multiple forms - in print, in images, in video, in combinations of forms in digital contexts - and are asked to represent our knowledge in an equally complex manner.

  • (a) the proliferation of multimodal ways of making meaning where the written word is increasingly part and parcel of visual, audio, and spatial patterns; (b) the increasing salience of cultural and linguistic diversity characterized by local diversity and global connectedness .

  • 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

  • WordSift was created to help teachers manage the demands of vocabulary and academic language in their text materials. We especially hope that this tool is helpful in supporting English Language Learners.
  • WordSift helps anyone easily sift through texts -- just cut and paste any text into WordSift and you can engage in a verbal quick-capture! The program helps to quickly identify important words that appear in the text. This function is widely available in various Tag Cloud programs on the web, but we have added the ability to mark and sort different lists of words important to educators. We have also integrated it with a few other functions, such as visualization of word thesaurus relationships (incorporating the amazing Visual Thesaurus® that we highly recommend in its own right) and Google® searches of images and videos. With just a click on any word in the Tag Cloud, the program displays instances of sentences in which that word is used in the text.
