    An important report on trends in educational technology. A must read for keeping current and understanding context of future learning tools and techniques.
  •  
    something of interest in the report that I heard Chris Dede talk about in 2007 was the rise in use of mobile technology for learning. The new blackboard 9.1 allows for some connection to its LMS from mobile devices. It will be interesting to see how we harness this technology to be more than just another means of information delivery. I would really love to work on some app ideas that were specifically designed for learning on these devices.
  •  
    I agree! Mobile Learning is coming and it should be - has the potential to be so much more than improved access. it can be more than simply having access to recorded lectures in your car or on the bus via an iPod. I'm optimistic about the use of twitter and mobile devices to extend the classroom experience and improve communication. But I think we can do more. These mobile devices ( smart phones, Blackberry, iPad) are powerful computers in their own right. Perhaps we should start looking for and bookmarking mobile learning initiatives.
  •  
    Absolutely. And as luck would have it, some folks on the IT list forum I am a part of have posted some. I'll log in and take a look. I am excited about the portability of information and would love to see such devices invited into the classroom for the purpose of learning instead of just seeing them turned off. When you think about it, mobile devices are pretty powerful mini computers networked to global information that could be, and should be harnessed. The power of google at my fingertips, whenever I need it.

YouTube - An anthropological introduction to YouTube - 5 views

  •  
    This video is of Michael Wesch talking to the Library of Congress is a must see for educators. Whe you have 55 minutes, you should watch it. It's worth your time, I promise. Wesch also spoke at the CHAT festival in Chapel Hill earlier this year that Newman and I attended. He hit on some of the same points, but this talk below is quite extradordinary. It is an expansion of his short video by the same name.

digitalstorytelling from ISTE - 4 views

  •  
    ISTE requires membership but did listen to the free webinar on digital story telling which i am currently using in the graduate level nursing theory course. Students are assigned to do a 3-5 minute digital story using a nursing theorist. These are due in April, so I'll send you the link once they are completed, i am hoping that they will use quicktime so that i can link the stories into Second life.

16 Apps That Make Sharing Large Files A Snap - 4 views

  •  
    If students are required to submit large files (over 20mb), these sites can help!
  •  
    This is very helpful as I am wondering how large the files might be with the digital storytelling assignment I have for the nursing theory class, and the idea of being able to up load 5MB through filedropper might be my answer.
  •  
    I agree! My favorite for files under 100mb is http://Drop.io . It's fast, flexible, feature-rich, and FREE!

    I just looked at this site and definitely should be on all the syllabus to help studnets who are writing papers or doing project. i just emailed this to the 3 graduate students who are working on research projects with me.
  •  
    I agree, Dr. Hardin. These tools should be integrated into classrooms. It's an example of 'social bookmarking' but targets the academic environment with the citation formatting. I'd like to compare Diigo with CiteULike. I imagine all students could benefit from some sort of collaborative bookmarking or bibliography building. Especially if the instructor is participating and supportive. But which tool is the best? Or which one should we recommend?
  •  
    I'm no expert but think social bookmarking and CiteULike could be used very differently. For the CiteULike repository I worked with students on last year, it was a compilation of about 500 references (not URLs - they were sorting through the literature/evidence for health IT evaluation studies. We worked in EndNote first and then after many iterations, uploaded the EndNote file to CiteULike. That seems fairly different (to me at least) from the kinds of things we are doing here in Diigo. In theory, I guess you could use them both for similar things, but I would save CiteULike for referencing/citations and Diigo for web sites. Just my $.02
  •  
    You got it exactly right, Linda. CiteULike for referencing / citations and Diigo for websites. The concept is similar: People sharing resources which helps to discover trends and eliminate redundancy. EndNote (a supported tool at DUKE), CiteUlike, and Zotero (http://www.zotero.org/) fall into citation management and sharing. Delicious and Diigo can be categorized as website sharing. It would be great if BOTH these ways to share caught on and were used in our schools. But, how would we prove they were effective?
  •  
    Linda! That sounds really neat, I'd be interested in hearing more about your EndNote/CiteULike class assignment. Could be a great Featured Tool scenario! Neat stuff.
