Issuu - You Publish Asiantuntija: Twitter mullisti sosiaalisen median - Twitter - Kotimaa Tukholma. Ruotsalaisella datastrategikolla Hampus Brynolfilla on ollut kiireinen päivä Twitterissä. Hän on vastannut lukuisiin suomalaisten Twitter-käyttäjien kysymyksiin siitä, mikseivät he ole päässeet mukaan Brynolfin analyysiin suomalaisista Twitterin-käyttäjistä. "Mukana ovat vain ne, jotka twiittaavat suomeksi", Brynolf selittää. Siksi Brynolfin kiintoisalta Suomi-Twitter-datakartalta ei löydy esimerkiksi F-Securen Mikko Hyppöstä. "Englanniksi kirjoittavia suomalaisia on ilmeisen paljon, mutta he eivät ole tässä datassa.
Finnish Twitter Census « Counting every Finnish speaking tweep! Evernote CEO Phil Libin Interview: Evernote Business, Coal Mines And 'The Nike Of The Well-Ordered Mind' If there's one thing that hasn't got much simpler at work in the last 15 years, it's remembering things. Or, at least, remembering to remember them. While the amount of digital information we generate has increased exponentially with the birth of email, cloud document editing and the hideous resilience of the Powerpoint presentation, our ability to share what's useful - and record the stuff that really matters - hasn't improved much at all. Phil Libin thinks he might be able to help. Now Evernote has announced a version of its service specifically designed for businesses, and is making a renewed push into the physical world with its Evernote Moleskine notebooks (which also made it onto our 2012 gift list). We caught up with Phil to talk about Evernote, the strange places people are using it - and why he sees his company as the Nike "of the well put-together life". This Q&A was conducted by phone, and has been lightly edited for space. I would certainly fire somebody for buying IBM! - yeah!
4 Ways I Document My Own Learning in Class There is a lot written about documenting student learning. How do we capture what happens as they acquire knowledge? But these days there is another person who is learning in the room – me. With a new focus on authentic learning – and the push to incorporate technology - I am often ‘learning’ more than they are. So how do I record, for me, what is happening? Organizing - This year, as I have blogged, I am trying out Evernote to capture my own learning. Photos – I have become a big proponent of visually capturing what goes on in class. Audio – Audio clips of students at work are being added to my ‘files’. PDFs – I use my computer as many do to teach/review content. For me, the portfolio approach of audio, visual and written lesson documenting is invaluable and provide a better experience for the next group of students.
Free education: Learning new lessons TOP-QUALITY teaching, stringent admissions criteria and impressive qualifications allow the world’s best universities to charge mega-fees: over $50,000 for a year of undergraduate study at Harvard. Less exalted providers have boomed too, with a similar model that sells seminars, lectures, exams and a “salad days” social life in a single bundle. Now online provision is transforming higher education, giving the best universities a chance to widen their catch, opening new opportunities for the agile, and threatening doom for the laggard and mediocre. The roots are decades old. Britain’s Open University started teaching via radio and television in 1971; the for-profit University of Phoenix has been teaching online since 1989; MIT and others have been posting lectures on the internet for a decade. But the change in 2012 has been electrifying. In April two of Mr Thrun’s ex-colleagues, Andrew Ng and Daphne Koller, launched a rival, Coursera, with $16m in venture capital. Republic of Letters
