Edublogs 2012 Nominations

Edublogs 2012 Nominations | 21st Century Technology Integration | Scoop.it

Nominations for 2012 Edublog Awards are open.

 

The purpose of the Edublog Awards is to "promote and demonstrate the educational values of these social media."

The nomination process supports the goal of the contest because it requires nominations via a blog post with a follow up link to that post submitted to Edublogs.

 

What a great way to share, discover and credit the folks whose work inspires us and contributes to our own success!

Good to have these resources. I hate hate hate when an organization creates a form and you cannot save anything you've written. It's bad design. At least these tools should help overcome that.

ruul. Screen ruler

ruul. Screen ruler | 21st Century Technology Integration | Scoop.it

A fantastically simple on-screen ruler for lining up and measuring type, line height, strokes and just about anything on the web.

 

Ruul is a free to use browser extension for Google Chrome.

 

It enables Web designers to measure designs, that they find inspirational, in pixels.

 

Ruul lets users add an overlapping semi-transparent pixel measurements ruler onto the webpage they are viewing.

 

To add a ruler, users...
- click on the extension icon
- select the ruler colour they would like to use.
- align the ruler horizontally or vertically
- move it around one pixel at a time using the arrow keys on their keyboard.

 

Note: The mouse can also be used to click on the ruler and drag it.

 

To measure, users simply take down the reading from the ruler after placing it over the objects they want to measure.
