mlaa/tags-viewer · GitHub - 0 views

  •  
    "TAGS Viewer allows users to browse, explore, and search a Twitter archive. As a backend, it requires Martin Hawksey's Twitter Archive Google Spreadsheet (TAGS). TAGS provides a free, non-technical method of archiving tweets for a given hashtag, which can be particularly useful for capturing a conference's backchannel. This application is contained in a single HTML file and has no server dependencies, which makes it easy to host anywhere: just upload a single file (this one!) and you're done. Or, if you don't need to share it with anyone, just double-click the file on your hard drive to open it in your Web browser. Configuration is as simple as supplying a Google Spreadsheet URL"

    Very cool inspiration for CogDog's storybox. Can we justify building one?
  •  
    I had a look and think we could do. Might need Rob to do some soldering.

    Here's our justification, it turns out "Darts built the device, originally called Freedrop, as an easy way to share files with his students in class. "I was looking for a device that would allow users in the same physical space to easily share files,' he says. It was a hit, but he soon found that his students had other sharing plans. 'Students started sharing non-class related materials, their favorite albums and so on.'"

Copyright - a conceptual battle in a digital age - Lund University - 0 views

  •  
    What is it about copyright that doesn't work in the digital society? Why do millions of people think it's OK to break the law when it comes to file sharing in particular?

    Two Potential Futures Our forecast suggests that the learning ecosystem is going to diversify, and indeed has already started to do so. At the American Alliance of Museums' convening on the future of education Glimpses of the Future of Education By Katherine Prince, Senior Director, Strategic Foresight, KnowledgeWorks A detail of a KnowledgeWorks infographic on the future of learning. For the complete infographic go to knowledgeworks. org/strategic-foresight. 1 ® Glimpses of Future Educationin September, I had the pleasure of sharing two plausible scenarios for how the future may take shape. We could find ourselves living in: * a vibrant learning grid in which all of us who care about learning create a flexible and radically personalized learning ecosystem that meets the needs of all learners, or * a fractured landscape in which only those whose families have the time, money and resources to customize or supplement their learning journeys have access to learning that adapts to and meets their needs.
