What's New on the 24 Topics Annet Smith Follows?

Robin Good: Vengage is a new web app which allows anyone to created, edit and personalize professional-looking infographics by utilizing ready-made elements and an easy-to-use interface.

From the Carlispina blog: "The newest tool for creating interactive infographics online is Venngage from the Vizualize.Me team.

Building on the concepts that are at work in the Vizualize.Me infographic resume tool, Venngage allows users to create infographics on any topic with great simplicity.

Despite this simplicity, Venngage is also extremely versatile, offering 14 different infographic templates, each of which is highly customizable, including the ability to resize the overall infographic to meet your specific needs.

... a wide range of data types since it offers more than a dozen different types of charts, a host of symbols and shapes and the ability to add your own images.

Unlike many other infographic tools, Venngage also includes the ability to link to other web content directly in the infographic’s text."

Venngage offers the option to export a .png file, to share your final work on social media, to keep private, or to embed it on any website or blog.

"Unlike image-based infographics, Venngage's infographics are pure HTML elements and 100% search engine optimized."

Robin Good: Here's a great visualization of how different can be the traits of content re-use. In the left column you can see what would appear to be the ideal traits of a professional curator, while on the right you can immediately recognize the ones of scrapers, republishers, cheap aggregators and other "thin" publishers as Google would call them.

I think it can serve as an excellent reference, when in doubt about whether you are still doing the right thing or not, when it comes to re-using and republishing other people content.

The table is part of an excellent presentation entitled "Link Building by Imitation" and authored by link building expert Ross Hudgens.

"One of the first things about the iPad that caught people’s attention was the touch screen, and it goes without saying that some of the first apps to start taking advantage of that touch screen were handwriting/note taking apps. Apps that let you write, draw, sketch—-and sometimes type–notes on your iPad. Something that combined technology with the age-old practice of scribbling notes on paper."

"I’m super excited to work with this web 2.0 tool in education. I just discovered ScreenTweet and see great potential in the classroom. Let’s take a look.

Yes, many image tweeting services exist. Probably the most popular is TwitPic. However, I have been looking for a tool that delivers e-learning and audio as well. ScreenTweet does the job.

Using ScreenTweet is super easy. Once you have logged in with your Twitter account, click Post. You can choose an image, PDF or even paste an embed code from the most popular video sites. Of particular interest is the ability to embed IgniteCast presentations. And, you can even add audio and narrations."

Met een voorbeeld van het gebruik van ScreenTweet in de klas met leerlingen die geen 'Twitter'-account hebben.
