Diigo - Bookmarking

Posted: 24 Dec 2010 08:16 AM PST

If you browse or read a lot on the web, we believe you will find Diigo indispensable. Diigo is two services in one -- it is a research and collaborative research tool on the one hand, and a knowledge-sharing community and social content site on the other.
A Personal Research ToolDiigo provides a browser add-on that can really improve your research productivity. As you read on the web, instead of just bookmarking, you can highlight portions of web pages that are of particular interest to you. You can also attach sticky notes to specific parts of web pages. Unlike most other web "highlighters" that merely clip, Diigo highlights and sticky notes are persistent in the sense that whenever you return to the original web page, you will see your highlights and sticky notes superimposed on the original page, just what you would expect if you highlighted or wrote on a book!

Delicious alternative - Evernote - Lifehacker, tips and downloads for getting things done

Posted: 24 Dec 2010 08:08 AM PST

Delicious isn't being shut down, but will likely be sold. If you're still eager to back up your tagged and dated bookmarks, one XML-crafty blogger has a custom import tool that can transfer everything into Evernote, tags intact.
Dr. Palaniraja tipped us off to his blog post, where he offers step-by-step instructions on exporting your bookmarks into an XML file, running that file through one of his custom filters, then throwing the resulting .enex file (Evernote notebook) into your desktop copy of Evernote. When the notes arrive, they come with their Delicious tags converted into Evernote tags, and their URLs just where you'd expect them.

Cloud Computing - SURFnet/Kennisnet project | Lopende projecten

Posted: 09 Dec 2010 10:14 AM PST

Wellicht heeft u al eens van cloud computing gehoord. Het is een term die ict'ers vaak – en steeds vaker – gebruiken. U kunt daardoor de indruk krijgen dat het de zoveelste hype in de ict is. Tot op zekere hoogte is dat ook het geval. Maar cloud computing is vooral een fundamentele verandering in het gebruik van ict, die het onderwijs veel te bieden heeft: doordat u minder tijd hoeft te besteden aan de techniek, heeft u meer tijd voor de toegevoegde waarde van ict in het onderwijsproces. En dat alles zonder dat de kosten hoger worden. Dat klinkt bijna te mooi om waar te zijn, maar het wordt snel werkelijkheid.

Gebruik Web 2.0

Posted: 07 Dec 2010 10:40 AM PST

In het kader van een SURF-project worden een aantal modules ontwikkeld voor docenten, onder
andere over het gebruik van web 2.0 toepassingen in het onderwijs. Het is zinvol de docenten een
idee te geven hoeveel van de studenten beschikken over de middelen om deze toepassingen op te
gebruiken, en de ervaring die de studenten hebben. Hiertoe is onder 557 eerstejaars van de
studeirichtingen Biologie, Geneeskunde en Biomedische wetenschappen een enquete verspreid (zie
bijlage) met vragen hierover. De enquete is schriftelijk afgenomen, omdat dan de grootste respons
werd verwacht en bijvoorbeeld niet alleen van de studenten die al vaak op internet zitten.

Automating business processes in Google Sites with Google Apps Scripts

Posted: 06 Dec 2010 01:52 AM PST

Automating business processes in Google Sites with Google Apps Scripts. Google Sites lets you create public or internal web sites, and today we're enabling scripts to support multi-step workflows in sites. For example, your company can create a site for employees to browse and register for training sessions and career development programs. On the page describing each training session or class, you could add a "Register Now" button, which would automatically add registrants to the class roster, add the details of the session to each participant's Google Calendar, and email users to confirm enrollment. All of these automated actions can be driven by a script embedded in the site.

What is Photosynth? Photosynth takes your photos, mashes them together and recreates a 3D scene out of them that anyone can view and move around in. Different than static photos and video, Photosynth allows you to explore details of places, objects, and events unlike any other media. You can't stop video, move around and zoom in to check out the smallest details, but with Photosynth you can. And you can't look at a photo gallery and immediately see the spatial relation between the photos, but with Photosynth you can.

SEOmoz | Google + Bing Confirm that Twitter/Facebook Influence SEO

Posted: 03 Dec 2010 01:25 AM PST

As of yesterday, both Bing and Google have confirmed (via an excellent interview by Danny Sullivan) that links shared through Twitter and Facebook have a direct impact on rankings (in addition to the positive second-order effects they may have on the link graph). This has long been suspected by SEOs (in fact, many of us posited it was happening as of November of last year following Google + Bing's announcements of partnerships with Twitter), but getting this official confirmation is a substantive step forward.

Creating Effective Teaching and Learning Environments: First Results from TALIS

Posted: 02 Dec 2010 03:43 PM PST

Creating Effective Teaching and Learning Environments: First Results from TALIS
OECD's Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) provides the first internationally comparative perspective on the conditions of teaching and learning, based on data from over 70,000 teachers and school principals who represent lower secondary teachers in the 23 participating countries. TALIS examines important aspects of professional development; teacher beliefs, attitudes and practices; teacher appraisal and feedback; and school leadership. TALIS looks at these factors through the eyes of teachers and school principals. This innovative approach was chosen in order to examine how the intended school and teacher policies of education systems are actually perceived and implemented in schools and classrooms, recognising that the best intentions will only yield results if effectively and consistently implemented in the frontline.

Flashcards by StudyStack

Flashcards can be a very effective tool for studying for a test. Whenever you have lots of facts that you need to memorize, flashcards can be very helpful. The ease in which you can study a few cards at a time, helps you to be able to study in smaller blocks of time instead of trying to cram for many hours the night before a test. Using flashcards repeatedly over a few days will also help your long term memorization of facts.
