How tablets will change magazines, books, and newspapers - Feb. 10, 2010 - 1 views

  • The point is, Kelly says, media are changing. As they get mashed up with other media, newer forms are born. "Right now digital magazines are in the same phase that cinema was when it started out just recording plays. They weren't really movies." Reading will evolve. It's our job to make sure, however, that magazines adapt along with it.

Paly Voice: Home - 0 views

  •  
    This is the Paly Voice, an online newspaper produced by the students of Palo Alto High School. Just a cursory glance says a lot here about the depth and the savvy of these students. Great example to follow.

    Great example of a student magazine done completely online.

Reading in a Whole New Way | 40th Anniversary | Smithsonian Magazine - 0 views

  • We can agree or disagree with Kevin, but the world keeps spinning. Screens are made and used in instructive and destructive ways. As an educator I need to learn to use screens as learning platforms so that I can model constructive informative behavior for the students I interact with. So here is how I came to write this post. I subscribe to Will Richardson's blog weblog-ed in my Google Reader. He shared a link to Kevin Kelly's blog Technium. As I read the blog post I used Diigo to underline and add sticky notes. I now have this annotation in my Diigo groups. I will Twitter this and add a link in the New Literacies Institute Ning at newlit.org. Kevin will sell a few more books, which I have hundreds of, and add more readers of his blog.
  • This article is very interesting because it made me think.And I thougt that I was right when I bought a computer for my 81st birthday.It has a wide screen,and I could enlarge the letters to be able to read it because my eyes are bad. I felt that I was not anymore excluded of the world.I had entered the 21st century. The last 12 or some years I spend writing a book by hand.Nobody would ever read a single word of the more than 400 pages.No editor would have accepted it.But is has been typed and now it is on the web.Everybody can read it,and sites of military history,dutch and french,published it or parts of it(I wrote it in french)because it is about the 1940-campaign. Thank you,dear author,you made me feel I was right.
  • Bring on the technology, we have plenty of idle brain space waiting to make use of it.

    Kevin Kelly writes about how reading has changed from a silent, individual pastime to one that is collaborative, more physical pursuit.

    I thought some of you might want to let students play around with these next year. Also, there is a section on the page called "Publishing Tools" that shows you how to create class online magazines.

A history of media technology scares, from the printing press to Facebook. - By Vaughan... - 0 views

  •  
    A respected Swiss scientist, Conrad Gessner, might have been the first to raise the alarm about the effects of information overload. In a landmark book, he described how the modern world overwhelmed people with data and that this overabundance was both "confusing and harmful" to the mind. The media now echo his concerns with reports on the unprecedented risks of living in an "always on" digital environment. It's worth noting that Gessner, for his part, never once used e-mail and was completely ignorant about computers. That's not because he was a technophobe but because he died in 1565. His warnings referred to the seemingly unmanageable flood of information unleashed by the printing press

    This would be great for anyone who wants their students to study what ideas have been picked as "sure things" in the past only to have failed.
