Being a 21st Century educator is creating a learning environment that is social, collaborative and project based. Teachers, nor anyone else for that matter, will ever be able to keep up with all new technologies. The trick is to focus on digital technologies that facilitate student collaboration.

May 11, 8:02 PM
I don't know what you think, but as useful as this is, it is not in my books an Infographic - it is a designed list - so maybe it could be called a 'listographic'. What I find compelling about true infographics is their ability on one page to capture the essence of a more complex concept or process and provide us with a big picture view thereby allowing us to understand in our own time using visual triggers. By my criteria this is not an infographic. If we start accepting these designed lists as infographics we are going to find ourselves with a real possibility of 'death by infographic'! Powerpoint as a tool is fine but in the hands of those who don't know how to communicate visually is a WMB (Weapn of Mass Boredom) C'mon communication designers do the hard yards and make these infographics work for thewir living!

"Infographics are interesting–a mash of (hopefully) easily-consumed visuals (so, symbols, shapes, and images) and added relevant character-based data (so, numbers, words, and brief sentences). The learning application for them is clear, with many academic standards–including the Common Core standards–requiring teachers to use a variety of media forms, charts, and other data for both information reading as well as general fluency."

This is a great idea although I don't see where, from just reading the description of what it does, where it's any different than Reel Surfer or Keeeb or probably even a few others.
There's no doubt, however, that curating and aggregating video content can be a beneficial service to lots of niches.....etc. specific styles of cooking, auto repair, golf tutorials, dancing (e.g. videos on 'cross body lead').
I'll definately subscribe to the site and try it out. I'll sell you what I wish I cold find: I wish I could find a tool that made it really easy to insert notes that would display at specific points in vidoes. A lot of times I see videos where most of it it not interesting but a certain portion of it is.

@wanderingsalsero: Simple. Reel Surfer and Keeeb do not allow you to have a persistant, global playlist. Also Keeeb isn't just focused on playable media.. it's a lot of different things. The "liner notes" that you are referring to are a feature that is coming soon to CratePlayer!

CratePlayer è una web app o un webware, come preferite, che consente la creazione di compilation audio e video dai numerosi social network e social media del web (youtube, vimeo, dailymotion, ecc.) e dai vari siti web. E' possibile farlo anche attraverso un apposito bookmarklet che consente di catturare il video desiderato in modo molto semplice.
E' inoltre possibile, per ogni raccolta creata, inserire una caportina, predisporre una descrizione, aggiugnere dei tag, configurarla come privata o pubblica, condividerla (Goggle+, Facebook, Twitter, ecc.), incorporarla.
Molto utile per la didattica in quanto consente di creare raccolte di video e/o audio da fonti diverse e su un deterimnato tema / argomento da fornire agli studenti per approfondimenti e per lo studio, senza dover fornire loro lunghe liste di link. Utile anche come esercizio da far svolgere agli studenti fornendo loro un tema sul quale ricercare fonti audio e video da oprganizzare e integrare in una raccolta

There are many taxonomies that one may use in education, and this post from TeachThought provides a look at six alternatives. Read the post to learn more about the following taxonomies: * TeachThought Simple Taxonomy * Six Facets of Understanding by Wiggins and McTighe * Marzano and Kendall's New Taxonomy * A Taxonomy of Significant Learning by Dr. L. Dee Fink * Depth of Knowledge by Norman L. Webb Based on publications from CRESTT that discuss the testing being designed by PARCC and Smarter Balanced (the two consortiums designing tests for Common Core) it is worth checking out the Depth of Knowledge since the tests are based on the four levels in this taxonomy.
