EduGlu Sandbox

I’ve used Googlemaps for some time now to plan routes. It’s now recently started including public transport (seems to be limited to buses) and walking. Given that I’d expect the walking route to take the most direct route, while avoiding motorways, I decided to see what it recommended for walking to Exeter from Southsea.

I’ve just had a wee play with 280 Slides. I’m impressed.

Jane Hart’s “25 Tools” is today’s Slideshow of the Day

Of those she lists:

This Summer I had the good fortune of working with professor Angela Gosetti-MurrayJohn and the students of her “The Classical Tradition” course. I would like to say I came up with some original and elaborate EdTech scheme to change the world through mediated mean, but I didn’t.

I’ve used Slideshare quite a bit since I discovered it (apparently I first mentioned in it June 06), and I’ve also looked at other sites that offer similar functionality, though have tended to stick to slideshare as I’m used to it.

I’ll keep this rant short. I don’t know what the future of education is, or will be, but I do know that it’s not “web 2.0″ despite the hype.

Jennifer has made some very valid points following the TL^t Summit 2008

In particular:

Twitter’s been flakier than usual this week, and supposedly the twitgineers are busy fixing database borkage and scaling stuff up and twiddling bits and furiously adjusting the machine that goes PING!

I’ve just discovered weblin from Aleks’ links.

Andy Powell comments on the DOS launched on Slideshare recently, seemingly in relation to presentations about the situation in Tibet.
