So, the real question is, how do we design filters that let us find our way through this particular abundance of information? And, you know, my answer to that question has been: the only group that can catalog everything is everybody. One of the reasons you see this enormous move towards social filters, as with Digg, as with del.icio.us, as with Google Reader, in a way, is simply that the scale of the problem has exceeded what professional catalogers can do. But, you know, you never hear twenty-year-olds talking about information overload because they understand the filters they’re given. You only hear, you know, forty- and fifty-year-olds taking about it, sixty-year-olds talking about because we grew up in the world of card catalogs and TV Guide. And now, all the filters we’re used to are broken and we’d like to blame it on the environment instead of admitting that we’re just, you know, we just don’t understand what’s going on.
Sally LaPorte on 11 Mar 13I'm pretty sure I found this app listed by a reputable resource. Here's why it's not yet worthy of accolades... The app is easy to get, but you also need to pay an annual access fee. It's something like $4.99, be warned, if that is mention in the app description, it could be easy to overlook. ADDING STUDENTS: to add students, you have to add each individually; fine if you have one class, but an inconvenience if you have more. The objective is to track your assignments and use of Common Core Standards. Adding an assignment does not include the ability to write a description of the assignment; it does not allow you score by a rubric; it does not allow you add comments. A lot of work still needs to be done.
