Bryan Bishop: 'Speaking Wednesday at a panel at the University of Southern California — joined by Microsoft’s Don Mattrick — George Lucas and Steven Spielberg argued that introducing the concept of interactivity fundamentally changes the experience. "They’re always going to be different," Lucas said when asked if movies and games were going to become more similar. "They’re never going to be the same."' Via The Digital Rocking Chair
Louise Robinson-Lay's insight:
The way that we connect to static story as opposed to interactive story is an interesting topic. The masters of the genres discuss it here.

Spielberg's observation that one-way interactions with films elicit greater empathy than interactive gameplay caught my attention. Although it initially struck me as counter-intuitive, I actually think it makes sense. When people see their environment as something to control and acquire points within, empathy just gets in the way. I think there's a larger lesson here.

I just gave a webinar on upgrading to PowerPoint 2013, explaining all the new features and how to use them. During the webinar, I discussed 2 features that I realized are so hard to find that I really should share them with everyone. In PowerPoint 2010 and earlier, when you chose Insert > Clip Art, you could specify that you wanted only photographs. You did that in the Clip Art task pane from the Results Should Be drop-down list, as you see here. Via Baiba Svenca

Best free downloadable and web-based video conferencing tools for holding multi-party video calls Via Robin Good

Thanks for this comprehensive list. I teach via Skype and use Google hangout and Facetime with some students, friends and uni; colleagues. I don't know why more isn't made of these tools. Saves time and money. Any many of them are great for collaborative work.

A very comprehensive list here of video conferencing tools. I use Skype to teach English as a second language but fallback on Google Hangout and Facetime if we have any technical issues. Not that I've had any issues with Skype, but more my connection when I'm travelling.
When I've got some extra time I'm going to work my way through this list as I see there are a couple that don't require signing in, or downloading of software, which is useful when you want to communicate synchronously with people who are suspicious about logging in to any tools or who don't have the capacity for extra downloads.

In diesem Beitrag aus dem Journal of Interactive Media in Education (Februar 2013) wird ein Rahmenmodell für Inhalte-Kuratieren als Kernelement von Medienkompetenz entwickelt. Auf der Grundlage der Arbeit mit Storify als einem von vielen verfügbaren Werkzeugen stellt dieser Artikel zentrale (aus einer medienwissenschaftlichen Perspektive) Aspekte heraus, die zugleich zentrale Lernziele im Zusammenhang mit dem Kuratieren repräsentieren:
1) top & bottom meet - Kuratieren ermöglicht das Zusammenführen von Inhalten aus etablierten Medien (z.B. Zeitungen) und persönlichen Netzwerken (z.B. aus dem Kollegenkreis); 2) integration of mediums, messages, platforms - es können darüber hinaus verschiedene Typen von Inhalten (Bilder, Videos, Texte, etc.) zusammengeführt werden; 3) sources, voices & credibility online - die Verlässlichkeit der verwendeten Quellen muss eingeschätzt, argumentatorisch abgestützt und in der Sammlung sichtbar gemacht; 4) framing, bias, agenda & perspective - es muss reflektiert und aufgezeigt werden, welche Perspektiven in den kuratierten Elementen zum Tragen kommen; 5) appreciating diversity - die Vielfalt von Stimmen muss nicht nur zur Kenntnis genommen, sondern aktiv bewältigt werden.
