I was just reading an interesting article about QR codes, which fail to engage young consumers. The findings below (from 500 students across 24 colleges across the US) interestingly show that only 21% of students could cope with the technology, they thought the process just took too long, they lost interest 81% of students owned a [...]

Thanks to JoKay, who also visited this website, I am now Super Spinner, with super strength and penetrating x-ray vision.
Once my transformation was complete, I was able to download my very own Super Hero kit with appropriate cut-outs (sig, mask, undies) and other goodies.
Do you want to be Superhero? Come on, Transform yourself… it’s easy!
You can even use it in your ToonDoo!
As you know, I used a web tool called WuFoo to create a poll to determine times that would be best for you, for the Technolog-e Sessions. Once the form is created, a step-by-step process, WuFoo provides the code to embed the form into your blog (it’s just like adding media [slide.com] into your wikispace).
WuFoo tool also allows you to create basic, graphic reports for you to easily view the results.
What is RSS? How can it save you time? There has been a lot of interest in RSS lately. What is RSS, how can it help you and save you time? If the movie above wasn’t enough, then check out some of the links below…
ask your readers to do some self promotion.
So… “I’d like to get to know you well…” (sing it)
As well as giving you the opportunity to promote yourself on this blog, I’d like to take the opportunity to get to know you, on a more… personal level. Yes, I’m going to ask you to share something personal with me.
If you’re not comfortable with that, then share something that you use to strengthen your networks, encourage collaboration and, or resource sharing. I’d love you to post a comment, include a link to your Flickr/Facebook or other social networking site…
Keeping up with “the Waters”…
Every time I check my netvibes (RSS Aggregator), I am astounded that there is one or two new posts from Sue Waters. I’ve mentioned Sue a few times throughout this blog and her content often inspires me to write a post in response. Like this post I wrote in response to Sue’s article about innovation being challenged by all the constraints currently on us, like blocked sites within DET.
Sue is a Aquaculture teacher at Challenger TAFE in Perth. She trials a lot of new technology with her classes, on her blog she provides useful examples, guidelines, tips and much more. If you are interested in m-Learning, PDA’s, mobile phones, spy glasses, etc, and you don’t already read or subscribe to Sues blog, you’re missing out on loads of good tips and advice.
First of all, thanks to Sue Waters for posting an introduction of everyone that’s participating in the 31 Day Blogging Challenge created by Darren Rowse. It’s a great way to find out about everyone involved.
Sue, I think you’ve really started something with this netvibes Vs GoogleReader thing with the comments on your post;
“Alex from Miller’s Spin (Australia) may well cause me to be banned from Google forever. Her great screencast of how she uses Netvibes to subscribe to blogs has convinced a lot of bloggers not only to try Netvibes but also to give Jing a go. Which I did – and here is my quick screecast of how I use Google Reader to subscribe to blogs!” Sue Waters
I liked the jing movie you created and have linked to above, it was very informative. I love that GoogleReader let’s you view the blog posts on that one page, that makes life easy! As RSS feed readers go, both netvibes and Google Reader actually do very similar things (I also use iGoogle), but I do find netvibes a little prettier (much like Mac vs Windows) and has more ‘theme’ customisation options. I also love that you can drag pods over the tabs to drop them into different pages.
So you want to create some learning materials that engage your learners, but don’t know where to start? Try this free little tool called Jing.
If you enjoyed the post, make sure you subscribe to the RSS feed.
