A Sakai roadmap leading up to Version 3 (via mfeldstein.com), due in 2013. More specific V3 details are also available. A few questions come to mind. Can we wait till 2013? Will that be what we really need by 2013?
As a Ed Technology staff member, I thought the points covered in this EDUCAUSE presentation entitled "How to Attract, Retain, and Develop Higher Ed Technology Staff" were perfectly valid. Worth a read…
Need a YouTube clone, installed and only accessible within your own organization/educational institution or you may just be after creating your own genre specific social media site on the internet???? Look no further than PHPmotion. Story Circles from the Center of Digital Story Telling uses PHPmotion. The content on Story Circles is quite interesting too.
Totally hilarious YouTube vid illustrating common Powerpoint mistakes.
With rumors of layoffs at even Microsoft, I guess the Wired Tech Layoff Tracker is the Mashup that best defines these early days of 2009.
Mozilla Ubiquity is described as "an experiment into connecting the Web with language". The aim is to use sentences to control a browser eg "Book a flight to Chicago next Monday to Thursday, no red-eyes, the cheapest. Then email my Chicago friends the itinerary, and add it to my calendar. It is not quite there yet, but does support more simpler commands such as "email it to Celine", "translate this to English" and "weather brisbane". In its simplicity to does get more useful eg retrieve everything tagged with css by user aneesha - "get-delicious aneesha tag css" and update my facebook status - "facebook-status is exploring Ubiquity". There is a library of commands available and a command authoring guide. Ubiquity provides a great interface for non-programmers to create mashups and accomplish tasks from a central interface.
Taking ideas for e-learning Ubiquity commands now….
- CSS Frameworks that emerged in abundance
Blueprint, Formy, Hartija, Tripoli, Uni-Form to name just but a few - Rappers singing with the help of Auto-Tune
Auto-Tune is a phase vocoder used to correct pitch - think T-Pain, Lil Wayne, Kanye West and even Akon… - Lady Gaga
In 2008, we learnt the difference between fame and "The Fame" and who could forget the disco stick. Can’t wait to see what Lady Gaga has in store for 2009. Maybe a duet with Madonna……..
Hey - check out this 2009 Movie Guide. I hope its a good year for Movies in 2009! I look forward to Terminator Salvation, Wolverine, Watchmen & Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen.
Flashmeeting from Knowledge Media Institute of the Open University, produces visualizations of meeting activity. Very impressive - take a look at an example. I recommend the paper from the group: “The Shape of Live On-line Meetings“. Wondering if Flashmeeting is open source???? Can’t seem to find a link to download it.
