Education 2.0 & 3.0

Barley for Wordpress is a plugin that allows you to edit, modify and write new content directly on your article pages, and not via the typical backend posting interface.

With Barley you can edit any existing web page on your site by simply clicking where you want to edit and by typing. 

My comment: Fantastic tool for those who hate having to deal with tech side of web publishing and for those web designers who have such clients. Barley is also a full design and publishing platform.

Price: $12/year/site

Mark it up for 12/year per site...

Much like dropping pins on a Google Map, with Taggstar you can insert little stars into any image you wish. (See the small stars in the blue circles on the image above. This is just a sample image to show what the stars look like, they are not functional here. If you want to see a demo, click on the image and go to the Taggstar website)

When clicked, the stars lead visitors to any content you select -- another image, a video, a website, a document. This is a great way to make your images serve as portals to a world of information.

It's also a great alternative way to make a presentation...better than Prezi IMO.

I haven't tried this yet, but it looks pretty good and easy to use.

I installed the code on several of my blogs.  Now when I'm logged in and editing my blog, I can add hyperlinked hotspots to any image.  I could do this with an HTML editor, but Taggstar makes it a much easier process.  

Any diagram or image you post on a blog could become quite an interactive roadmap.  Fun!
