For Sharing
For Sharing is now placed in the Showcase Pearltree and is accorded a certain amount of respect for its members, the collection and organisation of wonderful Pearls. Please continue to make a contribution and to polish our Alladin's lamp.
On the other side of my galaxy, I've created Sandbox where stars collide and supernovae go off unexpectedly! Apr 6

The GIIKS demonstration with touch-screen is a "killer"! Patrice - you should throw away the cartoons and get on the screen with Camtasia to demonstrate how you use Pearltrees. You're the Man! by Jan 19
QR Codes in Education: A Burgeoning Narrative
Since I last published thoughts on how QR Codes could be used for learning in a short audioBoo (click the link or scan the QR Code on the right), there has continued to be a growing and significant buzz about QR Codes on Twitter and in the blogosphere.

Hello Elle - you must keep us posted with details of your Book Project. The evanescent pixels of the Internet have yet to survive the centuries that manuscripts regularly do. by Mar 5
thanks Paul, been away on the book project, mostly checking in to find messages from you, this is a good one...will add it to music search. by Mar 4
Diana Rhoten - On a Mission to Fast-Forward Mobile Learning [02Feb11]
In all of this discussion we have to distinguish what is a resource and what facilitates learning. Mobile access to global resources is easy now; but facilitating learning (say) between a teacher and a student is problematic. That's the part that is very difficult to achieve. by Mar 19

Where do you think this Presidential Palace is? by Jan 31

My strategy is to organize what I want to read quickly rather than attempt to take it all in as it flies by...force myself to stop at some point and actually read what stands out as relevant at the time. by Dec 16
I'm starting to think "curatorial". Beng swamped in data defeats the purpose of making meaning out of information. by Dec 16
so many open doors for expression these days...one must simply walk through "-) by Dec 15
It's so simple I love it! Realised that I don't combine portrait and text when it is so easy to do. Must do more: maybe do it always from now on. by Dec 15
Information Ecology Crawl
Hi Elle, hello Marc-A and friends, this URL is a valuable contribution to our Shared Pearltree because of its compact treatment of a weighty subject. I would also like to draw your attention to Logistics as a fundamental category of the ecosystem because getting things from a point of origin to somewhere else (whether they be ideas, energy or objects) has a big overall effect. We cannot take for granted that distribution, diffusion or transportation just happens (or happens in a particular way, such as in the Internet) because as complexity grows, emergence appears with new properties never before imagined. by Dec 26
Moodle 2.0 Sandbox
Hello Elle - I sent an email to dcoda@ozarkseedexchange.com with details. Hope you can receive it. by Dec 29
Paul, I got a message on my blog that you had signed me up for Moodle, just checked and it takes more than a name to sign in so I need to know the details. Hope you've had a good Christmas (you have a vacation?) by Dec 28
thought it might be something like that, please feel free to email me directly at dcoda@ozarkseedexchange.com by Dec 22
Dear Elle - Moodle being what it is, requires enrolment for participation. That's easy enough to do; but there are privacy issues about letting a participant know their login and password. This information is currently communicated via a personal email. It's a "catch 22". I'll try bypassing these public forums by contacting you through your Blog to see if that's OK. In schools I've noticed that they are not even posting photos of students anymore - everyone is using avatars. by Dec 22
Just visited the forum on the moodle sandbox, signed in as a guest, I didn't see a way to comment. Do I need to sign in another way? If so, how? Btw, am pleased with the direction you took starting the forum. by Dec 20
Now I have to work out how to encourage people to become participants and give some feedback of using the site. by Dec 18
great, dcoda@ozarkseedexchange.com by Dec 18
I've discovered that I have to create an account for you to participate in the Moodle site. If you want to, provide basic details including an email address. You're welcome. by Dec 16
I've just started it - please login as a Guest and watch a few videos . . . then leave a comment in the Social Forum. by Dec 12

Figured that's going to be the case, hope they don't get too tangled in the meantime. by Dec 18
The Institution would take a year to decide on hiring a consultant. by Dec 18
Would they be interested in hiring one of the best as a consultant? Jan Wiley? by Dec 18
My college website is struggling to discern its taxonomy. It covers more than 30,000 students doing more than 10,000 courses (and has to service new enquires and enrolments). We have a large team of people wondering how it all fits together. by Dec 18
Usability and Web Design
Hi Rowland, check out my Moodle 2 sandbox as a guest. by Dec 18
Good one: I will consult the findings when field testing our Moodle designs online. There are many variables that need tweaking. by Dec 16
I've just received a request from nuken777 to join our team and said ok, not sure about the protocol on new members but think more is better! by dcoda Jan 12
oooo, can't wait to get my hands messy! by dcoda Jan 12
Over this week, I will start re-assembling our For Sharing wheel; and the Team is welcome to move it and shake it accordingly too. It's an experiment in curatorial arts after all - not a pile of wet spaghetti. by pauljacobson Jan 3
ok, I like the idea of starting with a "person pearl"; makes it easy to find out who contributes & talk with them about interests. by dcoda Jan 3
Go easy - rearrange things if you want to show us how. I was thinking to create a Pearl for each person on the team to begin with: when I am working with students, I would probably start with each person and as the portfolios grow, we could "bring things out" to relate to each other. by pauljacobson Dec 30
I'll look at our collection & suggest a schema, will you have time? I'll email it to you. by dcoda Dec 30
Dear Team - we are expanding without any coherence. Have a think about Pearltrees that cluster our contributions. Leave a comment when you add a pearl, so we know its relevance. by pauljacobson Dec 19
Thanks - I'll pick it up your Glass invitation tonight (my time). by pauljacobson Dec 16

So I'm going back to glass with your email to connect you up. Wonder who Wayne is??? by dcoda Dec 15
