shared by Jeff Johnson on 02 May 08 - Cached

Twitter is a Web 2.0 utility that asks the question "What are you up to?" It's a microblogging platform that allows users to share small tidbits about their current activities, locations, plans, and more. I can send out a Twitter update using my cell phone or my blog or by logging into the Twitter Web site.

Unlike WiFi, you don't have to find a hotspot. Amazon pays for Kindle's wireless connectivity so you will never see a monthly wireless bill for shopping the Kindle Store.

I expected to be able to download ebooks from my local library (for free) and read them on my Kindle.

  Great point! If I am going to put out this kind of money for a gadget that is seemingly only used to read books, then I want to be able to use it in a less proprietary manner . . .

  This analogy of equipping sailing vessels with steam engines works well as an illustration of technology being plugged into traditional classrooms.

We need to get the teacher into the game. The teacher needs to get in there and be part of the learning process, actively engaged in solving the problem with the students and learning with the students—not teaching but modeling learning with the students by functioning as an expert learner solving problems and constructing new knowledge with the students.

we will get the same result if we introduce modern learning technologies in our schools but do not prepare teachers to work in this new learning environment.   If we want to take advantage of these new technologies and the billions we are investing in equipment for our schools, we have to prepare teachers very differently than we have in the past. We have to change our own model of teaching and instruction in higher education.
...

Any organization that adopts a new technology without significant organizational change is doomed to failure. You have to change the organization. You cannot just add the technology. You have to actively work on changing the roles of the teachers, the roles of the students, the roles of the parents, and the roles of the administrators, and start to work toward building new relationships and new structures
...

Trying to introduce new technologies into schools without these changes would be similar to efforts in the sailing industry during the 1800s, when steam engines were installed in wooden sailing ships.
...

Cancel
We will not get out of our wooden ship schools until we use communication technologies for two-way interactivity that allows us to collaboratively construct the learning experience and new knowledge.

It will be interesting to see how Google uses Picnik. If you've never used Picnik in the class, you should check it out; it's awesome! You don't need an account or log in; just upload a photo and start editing.

Transliteracies » Blog Archive » RoSE (Research-oriented Social Environment) - 9 views

transliteracies.english.ucsb.edu/...rose

shared by Paul Allison on 10 Jan 10 - Cached

RoSE’s answer is that people seeking knowledge do not necessarily want to go to either a document (a “document-centric” approach) or a person (a “social- network” approach) as their first point of access—though they will take either.  More ideal is an online environment that allows them to seek out documents and people in the context of relationships between the two (e.g., of authorship, reception, affiliation, recommendation, sponsorship, commentary, rebuttal, etc.).
- Paul Allison on 10 Jan 10
  
  I'm liking this definition, and having two different questions push their way in: 1) How will RoSE deal with the walled-garden aspect of much of academic resources? 2) Can game theory be blended with such a social environment? (crazy thought)

This site says it has the ability to chop segments out of YouTube videos that can be embedded or linked to directly. Didn't work for me on several videos I tried unless I started at the beginning of the clip but its worth revisiting.

Inslices on 12 May 10

InSlices could be a very good tool for students to use while conducting research on the Internet. Sometimes students bookmark sites while conducting research but when they go back to those sites they forget what it was they needed on those sites. InSlices solves that problem by letting users cut out just the part of the site they want to use later.
