I let my business class do presentations on screen-casting. It gets them a speaking grade for the end of term. The reason I do this is a) so they can get it out of the way whenever they have time - the deadline is fairly long and b) they tend to take more trouble over it than if it were just an ordinary presentation, in front of the class.

Ibrar Bhatt writes: "Digital curation therefore is not just about finding relevant material, although that is a significant part of it, but is also about creating a specific and unique experience by utilising the resulting materials which then become contextualised within a new space. A curator, therefore, whether she is a journalist-by-proxy such as Popova or a student completing an assignment in a classroom, not only collects and interprets, but also creates a new experience with it. In this respect, curation is a process of problem solving, re-assembling,re-creating, and stewardship of other people’s writing." Via Mary Reilley Clark, michel verstrepen

Last week, Pocket Gems’ storytelling app Episode registered its 500,000th writer—not bad for a product that launched less than six months ago. While many of those half-million would-be creators are obviously amateurs, veterans of Marvel Comics and the CW’s Supernatural have signed up to created interactive animated serials, what Pocket Gems CEO Daniel Terry describes…
How Episode works is simple; readers download the app (via Apple’s App Store,Google Play or the Amazon App Store), select one of the available stories—choosing from “Hollywood Crush,” “Campus Crush,” “Rich Witches,” “In A Perfect World,” or “Stranded at Sea”—and follow along, safe in the knowledge that, at certain points in the story, you’ll get to make choices that decide what happens next.

Pas mal du tout, j'avais acheté un guide PDF que l'auteur avait protégé avec un mot de passe (comme si cela empêchait de distribuer le guide) mais en attendant c'est chiant de garder le code quelque part à chaque fois que l'on veut lire le guide, ne facilite pas pour autant le piratage car il faut donner le code pour l'enlever du guide.

All education is self-education. Period. It doesn’t matter if you’re sitting in a college classroom or a coffee shop. We don’t learn anything we don’t want to learn. Those people who take the time and initiative to pursue knowledge on their own are the only ones who earn a real education in this world. Take a look at any widely acclaimed scholar, entrepreneur or historical figure you can think of. Formal education or not, you’ll find that he or she is a product of continuous self-education. If you’re interested in learning something new, this article is for you. Broken down by subject and/or category, here are several top-notch self-education resources I have bookmarked online over the past few years. Via Dan Forbes, Ricard Lloria, Sonia C.

"Today, during the Practical Ed Tech Summer Camp I discovered a new layout option in Padlet. In addition to the free form and stream layouts there is now a grid layout option. Selecting the grid option in the "modify wall" menu will snap your free form notes into a grid." Via Beth Dichter

Padlet has recently added a new layout option and Richard Byrne provides a step-by-step guide on how to use Padet as well as "ideas and directions for using Socrative and TodaysMeet." Padlet has been available for quite a few years (and was first known as Wallwisher) and works on a variety of platforms. It may be used collaboratively and Byrne suggests using it as an exit ticket. Socrative is a student response system and TodaysMeet is a backchannel chat room. |
