Link hoarding
I've been hoarding links, saving them in my rss aggregator, thinking, "OOh, this sounds neat! I'll read this later and post about it." Well, it's time to admit that though I've now read most of them, I haven't done anything with them. So I thought I'd list them here, with a brief description of why I saved them. Maybe you'll find something useful here.
- Multilingual Blogging--a post about students abroad blogging their experiences in the languages of the countries they're visiting by Barbara Ganley, a professor at Middlebury College
- Also from Barbara, a power point about Blogging in the Classroom. You should really read her blog all the time. She has a lot of insights about using technology, especially blogging and the web, in a small liberal arts environment.
- From CogDogBlog, a post about Living at the Crossroads of IT & ID (Instructional Technology and Instructional Design). It's an overview of his presentation there, with lots of links to resources and some comments on the tools he chose to use.
- Feeddigest, another CogDogBlog post, about mixing different RSS feeds together into one to display on web sites or do with whatever you want.
- Minutes from Drexel's RSS club meeting by Jean-Claude Bradley. I was especially interested in their Edufrag project, using games to teach. I'm going to have to get myself over to one of their meetings.
- From EdTechPost, I saved three different posts on course management systems. I'm always thinking about alternatives to and options within Blackboard. He offers critiques of cms's that are worth thinking about.
- EdTechPost also offers a post about an Open Source 3D Rendering engine. This is an area I don't know much about but would like to explore further.
- From the Educause blogs, a post linking to a discussion of Moodle and Sakai (both open source course management systems). Also, a list of IT journals.
- From KairosNews, a post about how to assess blogs in a writing class.
