I have converted to Acrobat.com services. The not-so-new online service. Simply put, acrobat is the best looking among all (docushare, googledocs, Zoho, Scribd, etc)Recently, acrobat.com has release new tools, altogether, a combination of three recently launched online services: Adobe Brio (online meetings), Adobe Buzzword (online word processor), and Adobe Share (online file sharing).

For my final project I am developing a network for nonprofit organization to share, contribute and acquire knowledge to better run, assess and implement tasks for their organization's needs. I am using Ning as the platform delivery system and though there are more and better choices such as BoonEx, Joomla, DocuShare, Ning seems to be the one I am most familiar with even with its limitations...

I decided to attend class by logging in to illuminate on 4/09/09, but I signed in too late that day-- so, I missed the discussion with Rod Dunican about project management and collaboration.Project management is a key element in everything that needs to be done. From the small things in our mundane everyday life-- to the big unveiling of the next big product. I am fascinated by the amount of

Today in class we discussed the importance of the learning experience in relation to how the user will respond, how much information will the user obtain, how is the user going to get the information and reason on the importance to develop for your audience. As a graphic designer, I could not agree more. Whenever I start any project I usually do a preliminary research on the audience based on the

This is still in the idea development phase, but my idea is to create a site using Wordpress or a LMS or LCMS tool. There are a lot of tools out there and at the moment, I am in the researching stage and have been considering many Web 2.0 tools. Ning, Wetpaint and others are my options, but I will need to map out my project before I decide.The ProjectI volunteer at a couple of not-for-profit

Per our assignment, here is my everyday thing with a design flaw(s)!Laptops. Affordances: The affordance of laptops is to take it everywhere and use it anywhere.... giving us a sense of freedom and the ability to be out there, away from the office.However this is not the case, the majority of laptops are fragile, and by their design and material, not meant to take the everyday beating that they

I read this book way back in school for my theory design class. I thought it made some good points on the design aspects of things. Yes, there are some products out there that are poorly designed (Windows Vista), ones that simply underestimate human intellectuality (Windows Vista) and others that pay no attention to customer/student feedback (Windows Vista).Norman's view is everyone's rants.

On my short visit to the Web 2.0 Expo on Friday. As I walked around checking every booth asking and listening to presenters on each booth talk about why their ideas are good and why it should be used, and how it's going compete with the myriad of other tools out there that will do the same job in some different way, I was almost done with the whole experience in the first ten minutes.

We attended a presentation by Dr. Kahne about how video games can be incorporated in video games. Key points that got me thinking were:1. Can games could become part of the school curriculum if they can be used for a significant educational value?If yes, then how? There was a little discussion about how educator and game developers can't get along. It seems that game developers, as well as

Class was very interesting.First, we had a light discussion about our reading from last week and this week's "Growing up with Google". We also recorded a mix of what we thought about Dr. Wagner's visit last week. That was fun, I have never done a recording about anything much less in 30-seconds. With an amateur inspiration about Podcasting, I am looking forward to more multimedia assignments

This is a short script. I thought it was supposed to be a 30 second summary of Dr. Wagner's presentation that we would narrate into a PODCAST?"I like Dr. Wagner's presentation. She seemed to have a teaching educational background with a private sector mentality. She is well informed and speculative about both, educational trends and how connectivism along with Web 2.0 are changing or shaping the

Dr. Ellen Wagner presented her knowledge to class today. Opposed to Dr. Bonk last week, Dr. Wagner main concern is how we make the most out of what we have (Web 2.0 tools). Her way of taking on the class was less business-like and more of a instructional role by asking the class questions and concerns about the way we see and understand 1) web 2.0 and 2) present and future roles.

Here is my 1 minute presentation. I would have added audio if I have had more time to make it better. I think SlideShare is a very cool tool. I wonder when and at what point all the free tools available will ever change. Will it always remain free to people? How are these venture companies planning their productive future as a competition?ENJOY!!!The Ed RevolutionView more presentations from

Class reflection; Feb-26-09Our main activity was watching an online (live feed) presentation of Dr. Bunk on his studies and views of the current technology of social learning though Web 2.0. Some of his points were Media Sharing and common interaction among peers in which by sharing sources (on-line) WE ALL LEARN.One of his main attention grabber phrase was his self made acronym

After reading the first ten pages of the assigned reading, I concluded on two things: Web 2.0 infiltrated mainstream way before I thought it had. Second, the tools available are emerging rapidly and are going to facilitate everything we think that takes years to learn down to months or even weeks.I visited most site mentioned in the article and that led me to various other sites offering some

I have been doing some more research on Twitter since my last Blog. Working on Group one, Brian talked about Twitter; we had to investigate the reason why one would join the Twitter world. My last comments about Twitter were not of praise, but rather of confusion. My findings on Twitter have changed.I Twitter not.Microblogging in general is changing the way interact, communicate and consume. The

ConnectivismThere is much concern about the way we learn, at least from my part. Connectivism as I understand is way of learning, a tool, an appeal to what could be an evolutionary step in our society. We are at a brink to step into how the future will shape our knowledge. It seems as though right now we have just put out all the pieces and are starting to gather bits of information to form our

Today's class revolved on Connectivism. After reading our assignment (http://www.elearnspace.org/Articles/connectivism.htm) I was left with one question which I went into class with- with the desire to learn what other have gotten from the reading before actually trying to answer it. To me, Connectivism revolves on the way the world is connected today. The Internet, a tool that changes everyday

This is my first day in Dr. Foreman class ITEC 830 Multimedia Studies. My first impression was positive as I came into the class room. I glanced around the room and saw happy faces waiting to learn and get started right away. One of my first thoughts about joining the ITEC program was that classes were going to be crowed but this class is not and I also learned that there is even a TA for the
