we’re going to be testing if this works as a method for writing collaborative lab reports. I’m a little worried about losing this file’s location, so I should send my self an email or something.

I thought the first article seemed a little silly, or perhaps pointless. It painted a picture of how technology could be used to create a super school where everyone receives information in real time on their phone-blogs and internally through their youTube IV drip. In the 50s they told us we would be in flying cars also. I don’t want to suggest that the ideas in the article were flawed, they could work very well if implemented. But the article said nothing about how to go about creating this utopian education space. I have no doubt that the stuff is out there, and that the limit is (as usual) my imagination, but in order for me to reach that goal you have to tell me how to at least start.

This is why I liked the second article more. While not giving the reader tutorials, the article at least suggested what some of the tools to use in creating the first article’s dream school. Still, no one was talking about digg.

I still stand by those feelings.  It seems that del.icio.us is getting more publicity at Paideia than digg.  Maybe it is because it is better?  Hard to say until I get my feet wet.  Speaking of getting your feet wet, a friend told me that there is a japanese video annotator.  Turns out there are a good number of options for video annotation, but the best one may have just closed?!  Mojiti was offering motion graphics in addition to subtitles, etc. when you go to their site they say they are “moving on to other things.”  A bit more digging suggest that they were bought out, which would explain why the service no longer exists.  All the same, a video annotator would offer some great project/extra credit options.
