Education - MURAL - 5 views
-
MURAL is a large, shared canvas for mapping content and ideas of all kinds. It's like a giant white board that can be zoomed in and out to see the big picture as well as the details. Electronic "sticky notes" hold individual ideas that can be rearranged, organized, and related to one another. You can add many kinds of web content, and team members can add ideas and content and then build on each other's by finding relationships and patterns. It has a number of educational applications, in science and other subjects: - Realistic labs, where lab groups define the hypothesis and methodology, and agree on the interpretation and presentation of results. - Any kind of group projects where students work together toward a common end product.

Orwell - A game where you play as an analyst in a surveillance state PC/Mac/Linux - 2 views
-
(Please note the link to a Free Demo download on the right hand side of the linked page) Orwell is an episodic indie game that puts players in the role of an analyst working for a fictional surveillance state in the wake of a bomb explosion in a public square. Players are tasked with scouring news sites, social networking sites, message boards, blogs, text chats, and the like for clues as to the identity of the bomber and possible motivations for the bombing. Potentially relevant information is highlighted, but it is up to the player to decide whether each piece of information is worthy of inclusion in a report to be passed up the chain of command. The items selected create the narrative that law enforcement will act upon, but the player has no say as to what actions are taken beyond selecting what to include in the accumulated data. The story unfolds through the narrative that player-selected data constructs and the actions that result. Mistakes can result in the detention or prosecution of innocents. This forces the player to exercise research and critical thinking skills, particularly evaluating data as relevant or irrelevant, reading between the lines, and maintaining awareness of how each piece of information contributes to an overall narrative. Embedded in all of this is a clever critique of the surveillance apparatus and how it relates to our conceptions of freedom, safety, and privacy-a critique, I would argue, worthy of the game's name. I selected Orwell for this critical thinking post because it is essentially a gamified exercise in research, or, put another way, research with training-wheels. All of the pieces of data that the user can include are presented in context, and players must evaluate how a clue relates to both its context and to the investigation as a whole in order to make useful selections. That kind of consideration is essentially what we are doing as we research material for inclusion in an academic paper, and so I believe the game doe

Google Forms - create and analyze surveys, for free. - 0 views
-
Always trying to work smarter, I make Google Forms do the data analysis for me. By creating an adaptive form, I am able to quickly, efficiently, and impressively record student data. The results are easily translatable into flexible grouping options, formative instruction materials, and of course, good old fashioned tests. Combine Forms with the output google spreadsheet, with conditional formatting, and Flubaroo, and you're working smarter than you've ever done before!
