Look, we're not too proud admit this: that iPod touch with a camera might actually be the real deal. Why do we think that?

CrashCorp, the joint venture between former Digg Lead Architect Joe Stump, and former co-founder of Socialthing, Matt Galligan, have released two videos of a proof-of-concept app developed for the iPhone.After speaking Matt Galligan, he mentioned that CrashCorp is changing the direction of their company. He also notes: Right now, there's a gap in the market, as it relates to making it easy to add persistent location to mobile apps. We're simply addressing that gap by providing an end-to-end location solution for app developers. Part of that solution will include developing SDK's for mobile devices, that will allow app developers to quickly add new ways to view location data.

That's right. Just the gentle wind and the waves lapping lightly on the shore. Nothing else. Pure bliss.

You might notice that lately I am not writing much on Education & Tech. For those concerned allow me to tell you that our time is quite short by now, this is one of the reason you are to read only quotes or reproduction of good content. Hopefully, I will be back with original content once I sort it out all personal stuff I am into. I barely have time to read our subscriptions. However, following Google reader suggestions I've landed on Adventures in Educational Blogging . Susan Sedro, a tech coordinator for an international school in Singapore points out something we think educators should give it a second thought: Currently, in the primary and intermediate schools, teachers were required to have a web page. In years gone by, this took a ridiculous amount of their time considering its minimal impact on student learning. A few teachers really excelled and it because a hub for the classroom. For most, it was a true burden; something that weighed them down. Sedro says it's just about time to go from web pages to web 2.0! It surely is when still some professionals struggle to learn how to design a web page using Microsoft Front Page. No that the application i bad but we do have other platforms to set up a blog quickly. It may be a reason why some teachers still think weblogs are used by people who has no other thing to do. Wrong. Blogs are web sites that have a great impact on student learning. Of course, they need to learn first how to use it productively and how to create and share knowledge. Wisely, my principal is not mandating that teachers have any web presence. Teachers are very busy and for some, none of those tools fit their teaching style and needs. I suspect others will end up using many different web tools with a blog for communication, a wiki for student projects, and other tools, such as Voicethreads pulled in where appropriate. This conclusion, is in the best interest for teachers. Abandon old tools and get prepared to the jump onto the web 2.0. No matter if you use a blog or a wiki or a...

Le moteur de recherche de Twitter permet de géo-localiser les messages (tweets).Il suffit pour cela d’indiquer la région, la ville dans le moteur de recherche SearchTwitter. La recherche affiche alors les messages en provenance de la zone choisie.

I’ve read about Maker Faire for years.Most of the art, projects, crafts and surrounding mix of disparate nerd/geek/counter culture is inspiring.This being my first year living in the Bay-ness, I decided to attend.Aside from my inability to wake  up early enough to see 10-2 (sat) or 10-3  (sun), it was perfect.I spent 6 hours there [...]
