Web 2.0 for learning

clipped from www.elearningeuropa.info Web 2.0 and the changing ways we are using computers for learning: what are the implications for pedagogy and curriculum? Graham Attwell concludes that oral traditions of story telling to be found in many African cultures offer a potentially strong pedagogic approach to knowledge sharing and learning through social networks. What are the implications for learning through social networking in an increasingly globalised and multicultural world? 1. Introduction This paper is written as a basis for discussion and debate. It presents a series of hypotheses about the development of education and training systems, institutions, pedagogy and curricula as the basis for exploring how education may develop in the future. Central to these hypotheses is a cultural understanding of education both as a reflection and part of wider societal organisation and in individual terms as a reflection of the ways in which we learn and share knowledge.

E-Mail, Forums, IM, Miniblogging - jde ve všem o totéž?

clipped from franticindustries.com The launch of Pownce and the big response it received from bloggers and users alike was so full of different explanations and definitions of this new tool that it’s safe to say that no one actually knows what it is. This is a classic case of forest obscuring the proverbial trees. Let’s take a step back and look what these services do and what are their main characteristics. They’re obviously all about communication. This communication can be: 1) one to one 2) one to many 3) many to many Furthermore, it can happen in: a) real time b) with a delay And finally, it can be: x) permanent (which means the same conversation can always be found) y) temporary (which means that although the contents of the communication might be logged, it’s not directly reachable in a fixed place) By this categorization, instant messaging would be 1ay; e-mail is 1bx, but it can also be 2bx or 3bx, while blogs and all its varieties - tumblelogs, miniblogs - pretty much fall into the 2bx category.

clipped from www.prweb.com Los Angeles, Calif. (PRWEB) July 2, 2007 -- Geni (www.geni.com), the social network that connects users by their genealogy, today announced that it has acquired over 5 million profiles since launching in mid-January just 5 months ago.

Fauxto: pokus o Photoshop online aneb Kde je hranice?

Nová generace tak zvaných Web 2.0 apliakcí je psaná pomocí AJAX či Flex a dalších technologií či nástrojů, pracuje s pomocí prohlížeče, je zpravidla multiplatformní a spolupracuje se servery, které poskytují řadu služeb počínaje od uložení a sdílení dat až třeba po marketingovou podporu. Výkon PC na jednu stranu umožňuje tvorbu aplikací ve skriptových jazycích všeho druhu, na druhou stranu je tu mnoho kategorií zařízení s výkonem více méně tenkých klientů. Prostor je tedy obtížně pokrytelný a pak je třeba klást si otázku, kam až jít? Po shlédnutí grafického editoru Fauxto mi to vrtá v hlavě víc a víc... Tahle aplikace je jakoby vytvořená pro odkup někým velkým ;-)

Symbaloo is a Search Start Page

clipped from mashable.com Symbaloo is a front page of sorts, offering much in the way of search and centralized access to other links you frequent on the Internet. With this service, you get tiny modules that have been bunched together by default for many of your every day purposes: travel and shopping search, music and torrents, podcasts and RSS feeds. These can be rearranged, added to and deleted, according to your preferences. Symbaloo has left a few boxes empty for you to insert your own modules based on its existing options (such as a weather widget) or a custom URL. A search box in the center of the screen lets you perform a regular keyword search, or a specific search based on a module you’ve chosen; for instance, clicking on the dictionary module gives you the option to do a dictionary.com search, and a drop down menu allows you to choose Merriam Webster or Wiktionary instead. Your actual search results will appear in a new browser window.
