Scott McLeod has uploaded several versions of Karl Fisch’s presentation “Did you know?”. I’m currently using a PC that’s not got sound, I’m not sure what extra you’d get with sound, but the Powerpoint slides have the main information on (and, they’ve done it with limited text on each slide :)). It’s US-centric, (though England…
Presentation Zen: Film explores the omnipresent PowerPoint culture in search of its philosophical potential. I’ve only just found this blog, via Christian Long. The short video is well worth looking at – to realise what could be done with bulletpoints & other delights of powerpoint. The rest of the blog, though, is a wealth of…
Interface Guidelines for OLPC . A wiki, that’s clearly still being worked on, as some areas are just notes. Though still very much in note stages, I like the idea of the Journal – and I can see it tying in well with the “PLE” computer use I’d like to get students to move towards….
International Journal of Education and Development using ICT: Vol. 2, No. 4 2006. Has some useful looking articles – there is one about WebCT use in Oman, and another which seems good about the use of CAA for diagnostic testing in Science in schools in South Africa, though the actual data was gathered in 1998 &…
I was trying to find the URL for “Hot Potatoes” this morning, and thought that it was from UBC, so, I searched for Hot Pototoes UBC – and found a link to the actual site on a page of the UBCWiki. It was worth going to that site though, as ConceptTutor seems to be a…
I have to prepare a session on Web 2.0 for some web design students (so, not just “Education 2.0”), so I thought I’d look at what’s already available in Slideshare – with the thought of adding mine to it. Searching for Web2 brought up this presentation Wikis: Do They Need Usability Engineering?, which is looking…
Josie has got some information about an Early Day Motion (Software in Education: number 179) The motion reads: “That this House congratulates the Open University and other schools, colleges and universities for utilising free and open source software to deliver cost-effective educational benefit not just for their own institutions but also the wider community; and…
The Webcast Academy seems to be a site for educational webcasters. They have a range of information – both “how tos” and recorded webcasts. ONe thing that I found a little frustrating – after registering yet again for yet another site, is that it’s Drupal powered; now, I know that I’ve registered with assorted other…
Konrad Glogowski has written a post following up some earlier posts about group working. There are a range of comments from students (I think they are US High School Students), some his, and some others. He includes a quote from a past student of his who says of a group of students she’s currently working…
Doug Belshaw has got a long post, but one well worth reading, looking at the current state of technology in education. The point that he brings out throughout is that technology isn’t the answer to all ills in classrooms – that teachers have to not only know how to use it, but how to integrate…
